REMINDER:
How could 3 days have gone by so quickly? Noel’s pink and green Valentine/Easter Dress (Vision of a Valentine) set ends this evening! Noel gave it up without a fight… (I think she thinks she might be getting another one to model… Sorry sweetheart, not this time!)
If you missed it and would like to see it, click on the picture at the right side bar and it will take you to the auction on Ebay… OR you can click HERE.
Well, I was busy today… IN MY SEWING ROOM! You’ll be able to tell in just a minute! I feel like I got lots accomplished, but wish I had more to show you…
Several of you commented on the little summer dress Lian had on when I showed you the shoes I was working on. It was a dress that came with my other Boneka doll, Holly… It looks fairly decent from the front on Lian, but the back is another story…
I found this fun white blouse at the Thrift shop here in town and loved the texture of it… it was snow white with LOTS of surface area to cut things out of, so I decided to make Lian’s dress with a white bodice and sleeves and the skirt would be the green and blue and white print.
I used my favorite Swiss Batiste lace on the hem of the dress…
I had just enough of the right shade of green micro mini buttons and added the to the front of the bodice. It is lined with a thin white cotton fabric.
The back closes with snaps covered by little white buttons. It’s open all the way to the hem for easy dressing.
A few of you suggested a collar and sleeves with a cuff… WELL… I got part of that right, but I had already started on the square necked bodice.
We were having a major problem with static electricity in Lian’s hair tonight… it would NOT cooperate…
I am going to make a new pair of thigh highs, but these were some I had in a drawer…
I worked a little bit on the green shoes, but they aren’t finished yet… this is the thinnest leather I have ever worked with and it was a bit tricky.
All in all, it was a productive day…
I hope this will keep you happy till tomorrow…
