This girl has got it all together and she is off to do her thing. Which happens to maybe? involve a sketch book and pencil that is in her backpack.
A little bit closer-
Here she is with her things- I took her shirt off so you can see the top part of her “underwear”.
The shirt buttons up the front but it can be hard to see.
These little girls are my most labor-intensive dolls. January is a good time to get back to them, when all the Holiday madness is finished and the cold weather keeps me in the house. This first little one has a lovely double-gauze dress with Heather Ross illustration- Unicorns! ♥
Her sweater is a soft angora blend.Her hair is cashmere knit.
The bottom section is sweater ribbing.
She is 19″ tall (48cm). Her body is all wool. This is how the girls look before dressing- they have sewed on underwear, socks,and shoes.
This kitty girl is all the NOT WINTER colors- so tropical and cheerful! It is looking very winter-y here in the Boston area. Pretty but messy.
I knew we were getting snow today. By the time I finished anything yesterday, it was too dark to take photos. I rushed out this morning to take some pics before the flakes started to fall but even though I was being speedy, I didn’t get all the photos I needed. Now, the snow is so pretty! I can finish the pics tomorrow :-)
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-
Once the dress was made and on, it was obvious that she needed a crown!
She has a little fox doll and I didn’t want her to lose it so I put a pin on its’ back.
Her school bag- just the kind I wanted as a kid.
I have a collection of these fun ribbons and I love it when I find a place to use them! Those mushrooms were exactly what this little wool dress needed.
Yep, adorable!
I packed a picnic in a basket for her.
I thought this photo looks like a school picture!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates tomorrow!
It has gotten a bit cold in Boston for this particular outfit but it would be perfect for the Spring.
I do like her striped green shirt/jacket. Maybe I should try to make myself one!
A close-up of her purse-
And inside-
I have so many fabrics that are perfect for fox dresses… I get so excited about every one!
She has a button-up cashmere sweater and a soft white shawl/scarf. And, of course, her school bag.
