Patience & Amelia Thimble Model New Sister Set

Wilde Imagination’s Patience and Amelia Thimble dolls are here to show you their brand new sister set that I just completed for them. I used this corduroy print once last year making an outfit for Helen Kish’s Bethany doll and loved working with these colors so much that I decided to use it again for Patience. Of course if Patience gets a new outfit then Amelia gets a coordinating set too. The embroidery on this set is a different stitch for me. Because the flowers are pastel on a darker yarn I had to make them more solid so they would show up nicely. I put a lazy daisy stitch around straight stitches and was very happy with the end result. Does anyone know if this stitch has a name?

Patience & Amelia Thimble Show Off Their New Outfits

9 Replies

Patience and Amelia Thimble (both from Wilde Imagination) are so very excited to show you their new “sister” outfits.

They love their super soft knitwear that I hand knit out of lace weight kid mohair/silk yarn in a shade of pink that reminds me of cotton candy. I hand embroidered little forget-me-nots in shades of floss to match the print in Patience’s dress. I gave Amelia an extra flower on her dress, my interpretation of the multi-petaled mum like pink flower. They are happy girls, can you tell?

I tucked my delicate new cotton cluny lace between a fold in the skirt. Love this lace!

I think the colors in this print (Hope Chest by Josephine Kimberling) are so pretty for fall. The pinks and turquoise blues are muted just enough for autumn. The terracotta, rust, and green are more typical for this time of year. I love all of these colors together! I am always looking for fall color palettes to have “pretty” colors in them. I typically do not like complete earth tone color palettes.

Amelia says, “Thanks for stopping by!” “Love you guys!”

Both of these OOAK outfits are now available on my website.

It’s Starting to Feel a Bit Like Halloween

I’ve been pulling out my orange fabrics and embroidery threads, mixing up different shades of orange dye for my wool, and buying tiny pumpkins and candy corn for photo shoots. So here in my studio it is “starting to feel a bit like Halloween” even though it is still over a month away.

I made three teeny tiny dresses for Amelia Thimble. I custom mixed and hand dyed all the oranges for these dresses. The embroidery took some thought. It was a challenge figuring out how to embroider pumpkins and candy corn. The first dress coordinates with an outfit I made for Wilde Imagination’s new Patience doll. See pics below Amelia.

Here is Patience in her new outfit. I absolutely love this new doll. I wish there was more time in the day. There are so many things I would like to make for her.
