FOR SALE

A new outfit for Wibke...and a new name too!

At first when Wibke arrived and I put her hair back into the plaits that she'd have had originally, I kept thinking she looked like a Heidi.  But then I thought that was a bit too 'obvious', so as I've been looking for a name for my incoming German girl, I found a new sweet name for Wibke aswell.  From now on, she will be known as Liesl.  I thought it was perfect for her!

Yesterday I sewed her a new outfit because she'd not had anything made especially for her, she'd had to 'steal' something from one of the others, so here she is modelling her new casual 'duds', plus I made some leather sandals too.  They're not perfect, I really needed more 'clamps' to hold them together whilst the glue dried, plus they are a little bit too big for her....but as I told her "You'll grow into them!"  We'll not go into the fact that I was also too impatient to wait for the glue to dry properly before going on to the next stage!!! :)

The 'angel' top is made from a pair of little girls knit leggings....I had to be quite 'imaginative' in placing the pattern pieces as I could only find small sizes left in the shop....it's sales time here so everything gets snapped up quickly, including bigger sized girls leggings!  Also it was a toss up between capri length trousers or leggings, I went with the yellow trousers but think I might also make her a pair of turquoise leggings too, as they'll be so much more comfy in the heat!!







Close up of the not so great sandals, but they'll do for now!! 
I used these paw print buttons!

    1. Thank you very much Janet, I'm glad you like her and her outfit! The paw print buttons were really used because I didn't have anything else with me, but then I liked them so they'll be staying!

    1. Thank you very much. Wibke has left now, I'm sure you know how it is, someone new comes in so someone has to go! Wibke drew the short straw, but she was a lovely girl. I'm glad you like the shoes!
