READY FOR AN OUTING

 

It's winter here so of course I needed to make some suitable clothes for Rosie. I bought some pieces of wool fabric from Plume art + stitch, its always hard to decide exactly what a colour is when looking at it on line, I love when I am ordering from the Felt Factory all her shades of felt have been matched to the closes DMC shade, so I bought two pieces of the wool fabric planning to use the one I like best.

 I am pleased with how the cape turned out, it is lined with a piece of Liberty print and there was enough  left over to make the hat. Fiona knitted the scarf ( more on this later) and boots and bag completed the outfit  and she was ready for an outing.

I plan to make a coat sometime , so with the other piece of fabric I made a jacket . This gave me the chance  to see how the pattern I drafted fitted and what I needed to adapt when making something small. Rosie is 11 1/2 inches tall and the rest of the fabric was used for a pinafore. the pinafore photo is more true to colour.

Fiona got busy with her knitting needles... I have to admit I cant knit, I have tried and I am hopeless

Two hat and scarf set have been added to Rosie's wardrobe . Thank you Fiona.

And material is here for a coat to be made when I have time, Thanks to Mary

A new embroidery project started no photos as the computer refuses to upload them its nice to be stitch count thread work again and I plan to post work in progress, that will have to be in my next post, which I will try and not leave it so long before I do. Oh where do the days go !
