100 Hitty Items Challenge

The Hitty Girls group has been hosting a challenge where one makes 100 items for Hitty.

I started the challenge last week, and will be updating this post as I work towards my 100 items for Hitty.

Items 1 and 2

My first item for the challenge was the green dress to the right in the image below.  This is a dress that I designed to have sleeves that did not have to be sewn in individually.  I designed this dress so that I could make Hitty dresses more efficiently for my daughters (who need an endless supply of clothing for their Wood and Cloth Hittys).

My second item for the challenge was the beige dress to the left in the image below.  I also designed this dress.  I wanted to design a basic dress that I could build on in my quest to sew the Hitty Bride dress pictured in the book “Hitty her first hundred years”.

This is the beginning of my bride dress, with perfect sleeves and a full skirt that will make a beautiful brides dress once I design the other items needed to complete the dress.

Items 3 and 4

My Hittys were in dire need for some furniture to sit on in their Hitty Home.   Julie Old Crow provides a tutorial on her website for making lawn furniture for Hitty out of mini craft sticks.  I followed Ms. Julie’s instructions to make the chair and table pictures in the image below.

I love the furniture, and altho in the tutorial they look as if they would be flimsy, once made they are actually very sturdy and durable.   Hitty Dot loves her new chair, and is very pleased to finally have something to sit on besides the her living room floor.

I found the instructions easy to follow, and the pieces super easy to make so long as one is patient by allowing the glue to dry between pieces as stated in the tutorial.

Item 5

My fifth item for the challenge was a lot of fun to make.  Me and my children worked on this project together.  We gathered some fallen and dry oak and sweet gum limbs, cut them to size and used a screwdriver and hammer to “Split” the pieces to make the miniature split log table and bench pictured below.   It was difficult to find areas in the limbs that were straight enough to complete the table and bench, so the table ended up being made of sweet gum and the bench is made with the oak.

I absolutely love the rustic charm of the uneven table top and bench, and the primitive look the bark gives it.

Item 6

My sixth challenge item was completed this weekend.  It’s a comfy stuffed chair, and was made by following the Comfy Chair class offered by Julie Old Crow.

I loved making this chair, and the end result is more beautiful than a picture can illustrate.   Below is a picture of Hitty Lavon sitting in the chair while Hitty Dot sits in the mini craft stick chair.  Don’t they look so comfortable as they enjoy their new furniture!?!

Items 7, 8 and 9

Here I have made 3 matching Hitty outfits using my pattern where the sleeves do not have to be sewn in individually.  Each dress has matching bloomers also, 2 have red bloomer and one has strawberry bloomers.

These dresses fit Hitty and Riley Kish, as shown in the image below .

Modeling the dresses are Alice, my Kish doll, Hitty Mirial, my tenth Hitty and Hitty Lavon (my seventh Hitty) is pictured sitting in the front.

Items 10 and 11

I sewed these two drsses for Hitty Sue and Hitty Pershing.  Hitty Sue is wearing a dress made from an adapted version of the pattern used to make the dresses above.

Hitty Pershing is wearing a smocked sundress.  The sundress was made from Julie Old Crows Quaker dress pattern, with smocking added and sleeves removed.
