Tilly

 When I gave the middie Blythe doll to Eve, I found if I was going to make more dresses for her I needed a doll to fit the, on so Tilly joined my Blythe doll family. The Wellington family spent a few days with me during the school holidays and Eve brought Millie with her and took home two new dress for Millie, I had been given some lovely scraps of a soft blue fabric and  had no plans for it till I found on Pinterest a cape pattern for Blythe. The pattern was a free one and easily downloaded as a pdf. 

I adapted the pattern and made a lined cape with matching hat.

 

Dresses for Christmas

 I’m planning to add to The Party book a Christmas Eve Supper Party, recently bought some lovely dark green velvet fabric, it’s a bigger piece than I intended to get but was the end of the roll and marked down as a special, so who could pass that by. Result each of the girls will have a different style  dress made from the green velvet to wear to the Christmas Supper Party.

 First dress made is Poppy’s , don’t you love the Christmas cracker she is holding, it’s made from beads, Diane has lent me some for the photos, 

School holidays are over so Fiona is free from taking care of grandchildren and we were back at our Wednesday mornings stitching together, plans for stitching projects for this term have been made and Fiona and Diane are going to stitch the little mouse needle roll that I designed for Stitching friends group in 2013, while I completed the red rose project for the guild 40 th Anniversary later in the year. Then a small white work pocket so our needles will be kept busy. And I need two more velvet dresses the second one is started so hope to share it when I next post.

This weeks photo and another Etui

 This past week The photo challenge was Blythe and flowers I posted one of my favourite photos…

This week it’s dark, black, and goth Blythe and I haven’t anything that fits that.m

Fiona has finished her third Etui one for each granddaughter , here is her latest finish.

Off to the ball

 Some time back I made some masks with the idea of doing some photos on the theme of a Masked Ball, this week Blythe Doll Australia face book group photo challenge theme was Sparkles and glitter. I decide the masks would fit the theme perfectly and dressed Rosie up for the ball, this is the result.

Then I dressed Belle with the other mask and completed my photo story. 

Another Etui

Another Finish from Fiona, this etui has a ladybird theme.

 And I have finished another dress for the dolls, this one is smocked, the blue and white gingham fabric looks lovely but not easy to work with, as it frays badly. I plan to do another smocked dress hope to show it soon.
