Hi Ladies - I hope you don't mind me sharing these pictures?
I decided it was time to make a start on my Christmas Dresses for my "Special" little girls! - They are all finished and I decided to take the following photo's BUT the heat here today is HOT!,HOT,HOT and is in the 80Degrees outside! phew!
This is Lotta and this is the first Dress I made - I was so very pleased with it - what do you think?
With the sucess of the first dress I then moved on to "Darling" - I fell in love with this doll all over again in this - this is my favourite so far:-
Then it was "Henrike" turn - she's a little smaller so I altered my pattern slightly - I chose pink as she's such a cutie pie and so like my Grand daughter - it came out really nice, would you agree?
Then my "sitter" was the last one to be made - I had to alter my pattern much more for this little girl as her body is alot more chunky and the dress bodice had to be shorter and so had the sleeves - This is the snow flake version of the Red Organza that you saw on the second girl.
A Group Photo
Right, back indoors to cool off - I think I will change my Gunzels BACK into their summer clothes and put these outfits away for later - Hope you enjoyed my pictures ladies.
Abientot! Minnie in Sunny France! XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
