Category: Sewing

For: Other

Style: Whimsical, Retro / Vintage, Victorian / Steampunk


Materials

Purple Polyester silk look lining in 2 layers, mustard dyed polyester lace for outer garment. White cotton, white polyester lace for inner garment straw hat=polyester lace, metal butterflies, paper flowers.

What was your inspiration?

Again with the Steampunk Genre. Mostly with the Howels Moving Castle!

What are you most proud of?

The Jacket! The pattern for the jacket was the First pattern that I ever put together for Emmaline and it was the Hardest! It was before I made the DTBD and I was so worried that I would scratch her with the pins that I often made mistakes with the muslin patterns and had to make it over and over again until I got it right.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

The Pins, My precious, watch out for the Piiiiiiins!

your doll has a marvelous designer. I have just started making doll clothes for great granddaughters with matching outfits for Christmas. These are very encouraging

Why thank you, eventually I will gather up my patterns and see if they are publish worthy, but for now these are my prototypes.
