Dress Sets From My Tinies Closet

A giant hello to you all from my tiniest girls, Amelia Thimble and Izzy.

They have some news for you today. Amelia and Izzy will be offering their new dress sets up for sale tonight. They’ve had fun modeling them for you, and now would like to share them with their tiny friends.

We’ve been busy little bees working on these for quite a while now. It’s been almost a year since I’ve made these tiny dresses, and I must say I enjoyed working on them once again. Below are some in progress photos.

Another New Knitting Pattern!

1 Reply

Wow! Two in a month! Not a lot of new ensembles made this month, but hey, two new patterns! I’d say I’ve had a busy month.

My newest pattern is for dear, sweet Patience! It’s her first, and she’s very excited!

I included Patience’s measurements on the for sale page as well as in the pattern in case you have a doll that might be close to her in size. I’ve always thought she is about like Barbie’s boyfriend, Ken, not including her head, of course.

I hope you all are having a great day today! It’s a crystal clear sunny, yet cool day here in northern Illinois.

“A Springtime Garden Stroll”

9 Replies

As soon as the gardens start blooming (or maybe yours already is blooming, lucky you) Gracie will be ready for a leisurely garden stroll with Theodora Bear to keep her company.

Gracie’s floral print dress is made from the same print, but in the warm colorway, as Lucy’s here. The roses on this print are in mauve-y shades and blush pink. The green is a lovely shade, and the background is a very light warm off white. There are tiny bits of straw colored blossoms which go nicely with the ecru English cotton Cluny lace used on the skirt.

I used two strands of baby alpaca/silk lace weight yarn to knit the sweater. The natural color and blush pink are very close in value, but still create a subtle marled effect. The sleeves are a true 3/4 length which I don’t think I’ve made before. Scattered rose bouquets and motifs are embroidered on the front of the sweater. It looks equally cute either buttoned or unbuttoned.

Theodora bear sits perfectly in Gracie’s wicker basket of blossoms. She has been embellished with a teeny tiny hand made bow and a “Made with Love” heart charm.

Gracie’s delicate headband has been crocheted with pink bamboo and tiny pearls, and is decorated with a hand made bow. The bow on the headband and the bow on the skirt visually line up with each other.
