A Handful of Amelia Thimble Dresses

Half a dozen Amelia Thimble knit dress sets are hot off my knitting needles. They are so tiny that all 12 pieces fit in the palm of my hand. I thought they looked cute all bunched together and wanted to share a picture. Now for the time consuming part, making them all extra special with hand embroidery.

Here are the dresses and hats on my blocking board. They get dampened with water and then pinned down to get rid of that curling you see in the picture above. Once they are dry the dresses and hat are nice and curl free.

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.
