Ellory wanted a new outfit more in keeping with her style. So I made her this A line mini skirt with matching waistcoat and a brown tee shirt. She added her brown leather sandals and wants me to make her a big, hairband and necklace....which I will get to eventually! (Waistcoat is made using Ted Mentons pattern which is soooo easy to use!)
fabulously simple - Ellory's outfit looks good
ReplyDeleteThanks so much DollMum! I'm glad you like it. Ellory just likes 'simple', she's not a girlie girl, or frills sort of girl, so I have to oblige her!
DeleteShe looks really lovely Sharon! Love the little bracelet on her wrist!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Ronny. She needs a necklace though, apparently! These girls are quite demanding, aren't they!
DeleteLooks great Sharon! Just love it. I was thinking of making Henry a waistcoat for 'Sunday Best' so must see if I can find Ted's patternn
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorraine! Yes, every boy needs a waistcoat for that 'special occasion'! I have some lovely silk here that I plan on using for one for my boy, but as usual not got around to it yet!
DeleteI DO envy your skill as a needlewoman. I really ought to get my machine out and have a go. (At something simple...)

Awww thanks so much Penny!
DeleteI say to just give it a go! I didn't know how to sew up until about 7 years ago, despite all my mums efforts to get me to have a go, I just wasn't interested. Then my neighbour (and friend) said to me that I spent far too much time sitting reading books and that I should do something more 'useful'!!!! So she started teaching me to sew....I was a bit of a reluctant pupil at first but went along with her and made 9 skirts for myself, one after the other.....but I found it incredibly boring. But then one day I just decided to make some dolls clothes and the rest, as they say, is history!
The funny thing is though, I learned all the sewing terms in Spanish as my friend doesn't speak English, so it took me a while to relearn all the English sewing terms too! LOL
Now I just love to sew!!!
Just absolutely delightful! Super combination of the two materials.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kendal, glad you like it!
