Over a month ago, I promised a tutorial for the handmade maileg mouse dresses. To expedite this, I’ve uploaded the pictures I took while assembling. If you have any questions, please add them in the comments. n/b I follow a ‘good enough’ sewing strategy. For example, all of the thread is white, I don’t finish seams on doll clothes, and pinning is optional.
