The littlest Fairy

 

Here is Millie as the littlest fairy, Millie is the little Blythe doll that will go to Eve when I have made her some dresses, meanwhile I am including here in the story book photos I am creating.

The Fairy Queen

 Belle was to be the Fairy Queen, I wanted her dress to be more formal, to make her look more regal than the others, here is the first photos, I can see what touch up and  editing is needed for the final photos, the camera often picks up small details the eye misses. Pleased with the backdrop when it first came I was disappointed it seemed so muted but for this story it is working perfectly..

The Next Project

 "Look" said Poppy as she played in the pink net scraps we had been given.   " Can we have fairy dresses? there is so much of it we could all have a dress, maybe Belle could be the fairy queen and Rosie, Millie and me could be her fairy court."

This was not on the plans, but when asked if I would like some fabric scraps I never say no just did not expect so much. and it would make a lovely story to add to Eve's book, so this month project will be fairy dresses. I will try to post weekly the progress.

Someone else likes the pink net too.

The Long and the Short

The slacks have the same pocket as the skirt, it has proved to be an easy style to make, the shorts have a small iron on motif , I would like to add a t shirt with the same motif once I find suitable material. The short sleeve shirt was a fun make using some very small scraps, but the button proved to be a poor choice, they look fine on the blouse but don’t show up in photographs . 

 

 

The sleeveless jerkin was made with the smallest scraps of both fabrics. and the final item id the jacket which is fully lined with the Liberty Fabric. August proved to be a very productive month with this set of garments. Now to decide on stitching for the new month.

More Mix and Match

 Next I made a pinafore, am thrilled with how it turned out  and I still have some scraps of both fabrics left so will be adding to the set. 

The last of the new miniature daffodils pots is in flower, this is Carice the trumpet is more an apricot shade and every bulb planted has two flower stems, the best display of the three different ones I bought this year. The are on the deck right by the door so i get to enjoy them every time I go out.

More flowers the lovely bouquet I was presented with yesterday.
