A Little Bit of “Vintage Flair”

Patience has a cozy and sweet ensemble to show you today. It is made with a fabric that I HAD to order when I saw it. (Once in a while I find a fabric that I love this much.) Everything about it appealed to me from the way it reminded me of a Liberty of London print with a 1970s vibe to the beautiful pink and blue colors in my favorite shades.

I incorporated the print into a band for the crocheted hat.

I loved embroidering this sweater as I got to use yummy colors.

After Patience and I were finished with the photo shoot Izzy wanted to pose for a couple of pictures with her twin big sis. They are both Wilde Imagination’s girls and they both have long red hair. Aren’t they cute together?

My Kaye Wiggs Millie has a bouquet of summer flowers just for you. She is all ready for summer and all the fun it brings. Her new ensemble is filled with red, white, and blue flowers on a background of light reddish pink. Her blonde hair, blue eyes and sunkissed skin tone complete the summery look.

Will you accept Millie’s bouquet of flowers?

Millie’s cropped cardigan sweater is knit with pure white bamboo and embroidered to coordinate with the flowers and colors in her dress.

Another Springtime Sweater Dress for the Little Darlings

7 Replies

I loved the last sweater dress that I made for the Little Darlings so much that I immediately started on another one. This one is in pink and also has 10,000+ stitches.

As I was working on the embroidery for this dress I felt as if I were drawing (or painting) with a needle and thread. The first half of the top motif and the first half of the waistline motif (the second half is mirrored) went bit by bit as I was trying to achieve good color balance and a pleasing floral composition. Sometimes my motifs take longer to work out and this one did indeed take longer.

The embroidery may have been painstaking, but I am very pleased with the end result. The motifs are feminine, colorful, balanced and flow smoothly along the waistline, so mission accomplished.
