This little ensemble is for the doll that lives at our house and is used when our granddaughter visits. It was originally to be a birthday present for another granddaughter but that birthday has long gone. I had issues when making this outfit and I blogged about it previously. I started this quite some time ago and have only just finished it. (Cricket is on television). The item on the right of the picture is supposed to be a muffler.
I have yet to come up with a way of closing the front of the jacket. I tried stick-on velcro but is just keeps coming off when you undo the velcro so I will need to think of another method. I guess I could sew on the velcro but I don’t think that would look too neat. Maybe I will use press studs. Any ideas are welcome.
The pattern came from the book described in this blog post.
Adorable! So much attention to detail.
Thank you.
Awwww – this is so adorable! What about little silk ribbons to tie it at the front.. x
Silk ribbons sound like a great idea. I will do that. Thank you for the suggestion.
Wonderful… I’m sure it will be beautiful! x
