Autumnal ra-ra dresses.....

For some people cooler weather is quickly on it's way and although here in Spain we should have hot weather for a while yet, it got me to thinking about 'cold weather' clothes.  Being a lover of bright colours and pretty fun prints, I really think that there is more to Autumnal doll clothing than dull colours and long dresses......just because the weather might turn dreary in places, doesn't mean our dolls need to look dreary too, does it? :)

Sooo I was wondering how my ra-ra skirt sets and dresses would 'translate' into Autumn wear?  Today I made a couple of ra-ra dress sets in colours that I thought would work well for cooler weather......purple and red.  As far as I can remember, I've not made a ra-ra skirt or dress in red, so chose this colour for my first set.  The top part of the dress is bright red knit fabric and for the frills I chose  this cute cotton pique in white with red flowers, and then the underneath frill is made of fine white tulle.  The neckline is decorated to one side with a tiny bow of the same fabric as the skirt, plus a tiny white heart shaped button.  The socks with this set are red and white stripes.

The second set is purple knit with purple patterned frill and the second frill is fine white net.  The socks are purple and white stripes.

My models today are Núria (in purple) and Bailey (in red)....

These sets (one ra-ra dress and one pair of striped socks) are available to purchase at £22 per set plus postage from Spain.  Paypal only, payment as gift or personal payment preferred please).

BOTH OUTFITS ARE NOW SPOKEN FOR, THANK YOU!

Thanks very much for looking!

A little something for the boys!!

When I was reorganising my fabric, I found some that I thought would be perfect for boys boxer shorts, so today I decided to make a few pairs and see how they came out.  I'm pleased to say that my pattern fits really well, so I have made up a few sets which are now for sale.

L to R: Devlin, Alex and Jack

 

Each of the three sets consists of one pair of boxer shorts and one pair of striped socks.  The sets are £5 each including normal worldwide postage from Spain.  If you would like a second pair of  socks in a plain solid colour knit to go with the set, then I can do that for an extra £1.

All items are made with clean, new fabric, and all frayable edges are zigzagged.  The boxer shorts have a soft elasticated waist for comfort.

There are three sets currently available, although I will be making more.  There are two sets with the boxers made in a blue paisley design on white background, the socks with each of those sets are navy blue and white stripes.  One set has socks that can be pulled up to the knees (or scrunched down as shown in the photo above on the left, being modelled by Devlin)  and the other set has socks which come to just above the ankle.


The third set are made of fabric which has tiny black skull and crossbones on a white background.  It is accompanied by socks in black and white stripes.
