This was a lot of fun to create. Especially fun to dig deep into the shelves at JoAnn's for some remnants at a great discount. The pattern calls for three fabrics total. I used seven fabrics. I stitched together at 5/8" seam, then four-thread overlock serged, then back to my sewing machine used 3.0mm straight seam as a topstitch. This only took me 2 hours to cut, piece and finish. Worst part was I used FrayBlock for the corners and accidently squirted some onto my face - real nice!

Thread a spoke-nipple onto the spoke, just enough so that it doesn't fall off. It doesn't matter that it gets all gunked-up with the compound--that's actually what we want.
we're still a bit behind at eight by eight, trying to catch up in September by doing both August and Sept this month.
Yes, more sewing thread and 1mm (5/0) needles.
This is the Al Fresco Camisole pattern from the summer 2011 issue of Interweave Knits with a few modifications. Other than the obvious changes for scale and size I've also opted to knit it in the round rather than as two flat pieces that would need to be seamed.
I am about 25% finished at this point, and worried it might be too big for the doll in question. It's hard to tell since the faux cable treatment might draw it in a bit when I get to it, after the bind off.
