Some New Things for Amelia Thimble

Lately I have been very busy knitting and embroidering for tiny Amelia Thimble. She has had quite a busy year modeling for me. Too busy, in fact. Poor Amelia is quite exhausted. I had to do something for her. Last week I hired another model, Izzy, to help out Amelia. Soon you will see Izzy modeling my little dresses too. Not only is Amelia happy to have help with modeling, she is thrilled to have a new friend who is just like her.

The New Girl

I’d like to introduce my new girl, a Fairyland Pukipuki doll named Sugar. She is 11cm tall so is only 1 cm taller than Amelia Thimble, but has a wider body and limbs. She is not as delicate by far. Her hands and feet pop off and on very easily with the help of magnets. This makes it so easy for dressing or even adding a bracelet, no clasp needed. I stuck a metal lid underneath my white fabric that I use for photographing and she stood without any fiddling around. Love her!!!

I just finished this dress for her. I asked Sugar what she would like for her first dress and she told me, “Roses in lots of pretty colors.” I guess it’s because they’re as sweet as she is. I love how her first dress turned out. Because she is a wider doll I found more space for embroidering her special roses.

It didn’t take long for Sugar to find a special friend.

Party Dresses for Amelia Thimble

I was inspired by those cute little party dresses with the poofy feather skirts that you see everywhere these days. I didn’t want to use feathers though for tiny Amelia. This super kid mohair lace weight yarn seemed like it might give the effect I wanted and it did knit in garter stitch. I had matching bamboo and mohair in white and pink so made a party dress out of each. I love how frilly and delicate these dresses are. They are the perfect winter party dresses.

I kept the embroidery colors as delicate as possible while still looking colorful. The little lazy daisy bow adds tiny waistline embellishment.

I felt these dresses were much too fancy for a knit hat so I made embroidered knit headbands to finish off her party ready look. Sweet Amelia Thimble told me that she feels so pretty modeling these dresses. I told her she is always pretty, inside and out.
