Little Flower!

I was going through some photos of older sewing commissions that I'd done, and just happened to come across these photos of something I made for a friend of mine in the US.  She'd asked me to make a hat "like a flower"!  I wasn't really sure what she meant but we chatted about it and then it came to me!  I could make a hat of some sort with the dolls face making the centre of the flower...a bit like Little Weed from The Flowerpot Men.....for those of you too young to remember, it was a children's programme from my early(ish) years!! ;)

So I made up a bonnet shape then cut out individual 'petals', lined them and then sewed them to the bonnet.  I was really pleased with how it came out and meant to make another one for one of my own dolls.....of course that never happened!!  Anyway, I thought I'd show the photos here, being modelled by a Volks Yosd Tinatsu...who has since moved on to pastures new!!!!

These are old photos but I thought you might still like to see them!  Every now and again I like to take a stroll down Memory Lane and look through old photos of what I've sewn in the past!

Front view, my friend chose the colours....

I'm not sure if poor little Tinatsu looks overly impressed being seen in this funny hat...maybe that's why she moved to another home ;)
