I was cleaning out some of my doll stuff the other day, and as I was looking through everything I found a ribbon.
So, naturally I thought of Violet, and then I looked at my dolls and I was like, "Hey, this doll kind of looks like Violet."
So then I took the ribbon and tied the dolls hair up and it did look a little like Violet.
Some background info, I like making my own doll clothes because buying the clothes at the store is kinda pricey and I never have any money lol. Anyways, I was looking at my doll with her hair tied up like Violet and I thought "It would be cute if I made an outfit like Violet's and dressed my doll up."
At first, I wanted to make Violet's outfit from the books, but, to my great disappointment, I found that I didn't have any fabric that was the right shade of purple to make her book outfit.
So then I thought of the show version, and which of Violet's outfits would be easiest to make.
I've always liked Violet's dress from the very first episode, (even though I was confused as to why she would wear it because Violet hates pink), and I had an old hoodie that had a similar-ish design so I cut it up and made a dress.
Now, before you start to judge my clothes making skills, please keep in mind that this dress was sewn by hand without a pattern at 3 in the morning. And, if I'm being honest, it's one of the best things I've ever made. So, please be nice!

It's not perfect, (none of my projects are), but I think it's pretty cute, all things considered.
I must say, I am really proud of the collar on the dress. The stitching is kinda janky, but overall it's not too bad.
