Hi everyone,
I’m still not able to push the foot pedal on my sewing machine, so I’m going to continue to finish up the pictures from archived “October” dresses! I hope you won’t mind…
Oh, I did receive my “London Fog Raincoat” from Susette. When I was talking about being out the rain the other night taking care of the chickens, without owning a raincoat, Susette took note and I received one she used to own and it fit me perfectly! It has a zip out lining too! I’m not the greatest at taking selfies, but here’s what I got in the mirror…
I didn’t buckle the belt, but just looped it over, but it’s a really nice raincoat. Thank you SO much Susette! :o) Bring on the rain! Well, not really!
Okay, so let’s see, where were we? (In case you are just joining us, I have been showing dresses I made for dolls only in the month of October… from 2014 until the present. I am showing 2019 dresses now and working backward.)
Here is little Navi, 6″ tall and looking perfect for Fall!
Here is Kirsten in a pretty blue and tan dirndl back in October, 2019! This was called “Charming in Blue” and she WAS!!
Here is Kirsten in “Prairie Rose” in October, 2018! Yep, more blue for her!
Her is Ten Ping in “Picture Day” in her sweet turquoise and black dress in October 2018!
Here is Felicity in “Fall Favorite!” She was a dream in this October dress!
Now we are in October 2017 and Felicity was still showing she had the modeling thing down pat. Here she is in “Fall Fancy”… (not totally finished, but enough, I wanted to show it.) The skirt was versatile and could be turned around to the back, so the print fabric looked like a one piece dress.
Here is Molly in “Autumn Lace” back in October 2017. She really should wear purple more often! :o)
No new dresses in October 2016… we were dealing with my hubby’s bladder cancer…
Here is Ten Ping in “Fall Fever” back in 2015…
Here is Josefina in an October 2015 dress… I think I called in “Muy Bonita!” but not positive!
This is Janie, one of my 13″ Dianna Effner, Little Darlings… in “Little Bit Country!” (2015) I even made her boots… see I’ve had “cobblering fever” for a LONG Time!
Here is my sweet Eden (#41) in “A Vision in Velvet, from October 2014… I had just been writing my blog for 2 months…
Eden closed out my Dresses from past Octobers… I hope you enjoyed seeing all of them…
Was anyone keeping track of them and have a favorite October dress? I have to admit, seeing Eden again in that long Regency dress makes me wish I had never sold her. I might never find another one as pretty as she was. She truly was remarkable.
Well, I’ll see you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
That raincoat is just right for you, Jeanne! So thoughtful of Susette to send it. I used to have a similar one, also with a zip-out lining. That was Many years ago now. My current raincoat is more of a “swing” style, but doesn’t have the zip-out lining, so if it’s cold, I have to wear one of my heavier coats.
Interesting that you put Molly in lavender. I tried to do that with my Molly–the first thing I made her after I got her was a lavender dress with a white collar. She wore it once, and then informed me that “lavender is Your favorite color, mom, not mine!” It eventually got passed to April Eleanore, who loves all pastel colors. (My Molly loves red!!)
I really like “Fall Favorite” on Felicity–I don’t know why but I don’t particularly remember that one. But it’s certainly lovely.
My favorite, though, is Eden’s dress, and yes, you did have a beautiful Eden. The dress is just perfect for her.
