It’s time to move onto new outfits for the dolls, so today will be the last day of showing my Easter dresses from past years. I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing them. It’s been fun for me too, to see them all in one place.
Thank you for your kind comments about our visit to Tennessee. It was long overdue and we just had to find time to get there. Thanks for hanging around and chatting with each other.
Sissy, I pray Peyton’s hand is getting better each day. Infections can be very scary, especially when YOU are the nurse!
Joy, Reuben is SO petrified of the storms…he just wants to be held by my hubby. I suggested a Thunder shirt but that was nixed as he said he knew it wouldn’t work for Reuben. He really needs a soundproof room, I think! The trip to Tennessee was about 5 hours. Not terribly long but still a drive. My hubby was supposed to stop every hour and get out and stretch his legs, but that didn’t happen… we may have stopped 2 times. He has his last surgery this week. YAY! No more trips to Mount Vernon, although I have found a few thrift shops that are REALLY nice! Oh well..
We better get started on the last of my Easter dresses.
This is a sweet lavender dress made back in 2010 for Janie. I wanted her to wear a blonde wig for this and this was the only blonde wig I had… it was pretty short and little for her, but we managed with pigtails. :o)
Sara is modeling another Easter dress… this time in 2023 and in blue and white. Oh, and the purse and matching shoes! :o)
Next is a sweet, sweet dress on Emmie. It was made from a blue and white floral print fabric and was pretty with her blue eyes!
Next is Emmie in another dress that was so pretty on her….turquoise and a touch of pink… She is ONE gorgeous doll!!!
Eden has a pretty Easter dress from 2016 to show you… I loved this color on her…periwinkle!
I found another one for Ten Ping…
Ellowyne even has one to show you…
Here’s Emmie again in a blue Liberty of London floral print dress! This fabric was MADE FOR HER! Isn’t she pretty?
Here is Emmie in another blue dress for Easter. She’s a blonde in this set from 2020.
I hope I didn’t show this one already… it’s about as Eastery as you can get… Eden wore this so well!
Well, I know I could find more, but I would be up all night, and I really should get to bed! I hope you enjoyed all these sweet Easter dresses from the past. I didn’t even include the latest ones I made… Thanks for letting me share my love of sewing with you! I truly do love it when I’m in my sewing room!
See you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
First of all, Rosemary, before I forget: you Should try smocking! It’s basically embroidery over pleats. The fabric can be pleated on a smocking pleater, or you can get iron-on dots, and then pick up the dots with a hand-sewing needle and thread, and pull up the pleats. I believe SAGA (Smocking Arts Guild of America) has some tutorials and such on their website (smocking.org), and may have some links to places that carry smocking supplies and perhaps offer classes, too. (I am a member of SAGA.)
Sissy, I’ll continue to keep Peyton (and you) in prayer. That red and peeling look is pretty normal, I think, when healing from something like that, but if you’re concerned, don’t be afraid to contact the doctor’s office and ask.
Jeanne, I am wondering how George “knows” a thunder shirt won’t work for Ruben!!
I’m so glad to hear that George’s last surgery is almost upon him and will soon be over!! It’s been quite a spring for you two!
I love Janie’s outfit, and I don’t remember seeing it before. Maybe that was before I joined the blog? Or I may just be getting old…..
Emmie is certainly photogenic, and blue is definitely “her” color! I think I like that last outfit of hers the best; it’s old-fashioned and just lovely.
Oh, I did love those shoes and purse of Sarah’s! I remember when you made them. So cute, as is Ten Ping’s outfit. Love that lilac jacket and hat!
I had forgotten you’d had an Ellowyne. Definitely a good style on her.
And Eden’s outfit….I am not sure if I saw that one before or not. I especially love her purse with the silk ribbon embroidery.
