Still working on Ruby Red Fashion Friend, Sara’s outfit…

Hi everyone,
I DO have some things to show you, but not as much as I would have liked… I had interruptions today! UGH!

I wanted to make her a purse to match her boots… and I had to hunt for the piece of leather I cut them from… found it and got this much done… the leather has been wet molded and has some paper towel pieces stuffed inside to keep its shape. I’m hoping it’s dry by morning so I can finish adding the straps…

While it was drying some, I decided to try and figure out what kind of hat Sara needed for her jumper set. I decided on a beret… the kind that sort of flops over to one side. I looked at some pictures online and thought it would look cute. I didn’t have a pattern for her so I took one I had made for a skinny little Kaye Wiggs doll I used to have, Millie. I enlarged the pattern and gave it a try from brown corduroy. It would look something like this… (only finished)

After I took a few pictures of it I wondered if I had any darker corduroy and I did… It goes better, but my pictures make it look dark… it’s the right color for the brown in her jumper.

Before I could do anymore on it, my phone dinged and I had sold a doll slip for the Little Darlings… a Patriotic slip! :o) So I went in the guest bedroom where I have ALL my listed things and things I “want” to list on the bed. NO SLIP! I put some things away on the bed and still NO SLIP! I had some doll boxes out and put them back up on the closet… still NO SLIP! I began to panic a little as I wasn’t sure I still had this fabric… but I found it in my “tulle” drawer and so I had to stop and make the slip… and then it was too late to keep sewing on the hat… but there’s tomorrow…

Well, that’s it for today. I’m really hoping there will be some leaves left on the trees by the time I get ready to list it. The wind has been blowing like crazy this evening… We’ll see…

Thanks everyone,
See you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
