A Summer Short Set for Effner’s Little Darling Dolls

This set for the Little Darlings reminds me of the little short sets I used to wear when I was young.  I loved how cute they were and how the top and the shorts coordinated so well together.  Gina, my Little Darling, is dressed so smartly in her very own bloomers and top set with hand embroidery, headband, and jewelry.  This outfit is available on my website.  I also have more photos there too, with additional information about “Splendid Summer”.

Just finished for Tonner’s Patsy Doll

Here are some sneak peaks of Patsy’s new outfit.  In keeping with Patsy’s 1920’s style, this very feminine and colorful outfit has lots of hand embroidered details.  Flower motifs to coordinate with the cotton Japanese print line up along the hemline.    Each one is unique.  Chain stitch embroidery and running stitch embroidery are more hand embroidered elements of this dress.  The hand knit cotton bolero has a turned back collar with embroidered roses and light blue scalloped edging.  Patsy’s hat is decorated with chain stitch embroidery along the edge and a crocheted flower and knit bow.  I’d say Patsy is all ready for her next spring weekend adventure.
