It’s rainy
and cold, today – and hard to believe that temperatures reached into the upper
70s just a couple of days ago. The
weather is supposed to warm up again next week.
I haven’t
posted for a while because I’ve been really busy with our courtroom
presentation business. But, I have begun to
sew again, just a little. I made a
pretty spring outfit for my American Girl doll, Saige. The fabric was from an old photography
backdrop that DH no longer needed. It is
some sort of synthetic but it looks like slubbed silk. I made the gathered ribbon flower from the
same satin ribbon as the sash.
And I finally
got around to making a Regency dress for one of my 23” dolls. I used a heavily modified Morrissey pattern
and some leftover coordinated fabric I had used for bedroom curtains in the
80s! So, here is one of my favorite dolls
posing as Marianne Dashwood from Jane Austen’s SENSE AND SENSIBILITY. I was so pleased with the results that I added
it to my Etsy store. I intend to create
a couple more of these. At the very least,
I need to make an outfit for Marianne’s sister, Elinor.
