Last week I spent some time communing with my fabric stash and it has inspired me- as I’d hoped it would. I’ve finally gotten started on dressing one of these poor girls!
Here is my sketch and also a photo that I’d cut out of the newspaper a few months ago. It is a picture from the movie A Series of Unfortunate Events. I like the coat that she is wearing.
So far I have done the basic sewing on the shirt and pants. I have finished the hand sewing on the pants since I took the photo. Tomorrow I hope to make a muslin mock-up of the coat.
Oh, she looks happy in her new clothes! Love the colors.
Schweet! I can’t wait to see the finished product!
The clothes look like they are coming beautifully, and they are perfect for the dolls. I have been thinking of your dolls since I took the kids to see “A Series of Unfortunate Events.” Your style is just perfect for the doll version of the characters! The illustrations in the books (my kids have read them all, so I HAD to take a peek as well!) have a certain mood that I think you would capture really well! I look forward to seeing the final result, and I am glad you are feeling better!
I have spent ages browsing your site, I love your dolls, quilts and love of fabric. Very talented.
I haven’t visited your blog for just a little while, and now I’m browsing throuh your progress. I like the clothes (specially the colour theme) and also that you let us have a glance at your sketchbook to see where your ideas comes from. Thanks!
