“Patsy in Pink”

Well, finally… Patsy gets some attention around here. Her last outfit was a Christmas ensemble! Poor girl! She is so patient though, not a peep or a complaint out of her.

Since Patsy has waited so long and shown such patience, I picked out one of my favorite (and hers too, I think) pink fabrics for her. I used this fabric last year for Gina here.

As you can see, this girl loves pink. Look, she’s wearing Penny’s Boneka white leather shoes. They fit perfectly with this outfit, and look oh, so cute! I love it when the girls share.

Patsy’s hand knit mohair/silk sweater shows off two mirrored image rose motifs in soft colors to coordinate with the dress.

The sweater can be worn open or buttoned up with the little pink bead buttons.

Patsy’s crocheted wide brimmed hat is made with three different fibers: bamboo pink, a finer warm white cotton, and a pure white cotton. The brim is edged with the bamboo pink to give a ruffly effect. I happened to have another print from the same fabric collection, so I used it to make a band for the hat. The mohair rose is crocheted as is the bamboo green leaf.

On Instagram I show this bracelet being made using my iPhone and the time lapse effect (wish it really went this fast!). Click here if you’d like to see my video. Also click here to see a time lapse video of Patsy being posed for her photo shoot. FYI, I don’t think you need to have an Instagram account to view my photos and videos on Instagram.

Patsy in “Holiday Holly”

10 Replies

Here is my Patsy modeling her first ever Christmas ensemble made for her by me! This Christmas ensemble will also fit 10″ Ann Estelle and her friends.

Patsy is wearing a long sleeved mohair/silk hand knit sweater in a warm white. Six hand embroidered motifs decorate the sweater with the right and left sides mirroring each other.

The dress is made out of a bright red and green festive yet delicate pin dot cotton. A bright red hand embroidered organza ribbon ties around the waistline with a row of fine English cotton Cluny lace slid underneath a tuck on the skirt.

Will you let Patsy hang her Christmas ornament on your Christmas tree?

What I’m Working on Today

Hello and, depending on where you live, good morning or good evening!

I took a photo of my desk this morning and wanted to show you the progress on Patsy’s Christmas outfit. I think that this is the last I can make out of this simple red/green pin dot. I made two dresses for the Little Darlings out of this 1/2 yard piece of fabric last year and didn’t think there was enough for another dress, but Patsy is small, so there was just enough width and length to cut out her skirt. Here is a link to Gina’s ensemble from last year. (Both dresses for Gina were the same.)

I made a quick little drawing of how I want to embroider Patsy’s sweater. I’ll also need to run to the store for red ribbon; the shade I have is too blue, and I’d like to use organza. I’m not sure yet what kind of beads I’ll use for the sweater buttons, maybe pearls. The tiny green buttons are for the dress. I’m thinking a bow or headband for her hair, but I will see.

That’s all for now my dear readers.

Thank you sooo much for all of your comments; I love them!!!
