Woodsy Girl

Maybe you are thinking that she looks a little over-dressed for April but it is snowing (again) out my window today. Enough already! I got a little behind with my posting this weekend but with the various holidays I figured it wouldn’t matter. Now, back on track!

A plaid fox because it is the perfect colors.

He is going out for a hike to do some amateur scientific research.

Here are his supplies from his backpack- a notebook and pencil, a map, a snack, and a bit of money.

Fox Girl with Aqua Sweater

I take apart/cut up cashmere sweaters from the thrift store to make these sweaters for my foxes. I wash the cashmere but it stays soft and drapey, perfect for the way I use it. On this one, I cut out the sweater pieces so that the original sweater’s ribbing could get used for my little fox sweater. Then, I took off a ruffle that went all the way around the original sweater’s button front and neckline and sewed it on for this sweet girl. Now she has the fancy sweater! Also a silk bow.

Folk Art-y Fox girl

This is the last fox for now. This fox girl started out with her awesome dress. I love this fabric so much that I had to do a massive internet search to track down some more!

After her dress was finished, it was a challenge to figure out what else she needed. I felt like I was dealing with a fashion-opinionated teenager… although I’m not sure if that describes her or me. I tried a wool coat and a cape before I was happy with this wool felt jacket.

I’ve never made wool felt clothing for my dolls (just details like collars and pockets) but this worked out beautifully and it was fun to try out.

She’s got a picnic-

Bad Boy Fox

You know he’s a baddie because of the cigarette, right? I suspect that is an American cultural thing.

He is made from some of the hand-dyed (mimi-dyed) wool and so his color is variegated rusty red.

Here is a close-up of his wallet and newspaper-
