Tassels at last & a dress for Camille.

Last night I finished another thing on my 'To Do' List for Peggy Sue's Autumn/Winter wardrobe, and that was putting tassels on her poncho.  I also knitted a grey beret to make the outfit complete.

Using a new pattern I had printed off the internet I made a dress for Camille.  I'm not especially happy with the fit, even though it was supposed to fit a KnC doll, it is very tight round the sleeves and across the back.  Still it is change for Camille, so will do for now until I make her something else.  

I made her some tights to go underneath the dress.

I used the existing hem as I used a child's dress for the fabric.

I may well end up making it shorter and hand hemming it, turning it into a tunic to wear over trousers.

Some Knitting & Some Sewing

Friday I knitted a little Kimono cardigan hoping that it would be suitable for Kaya to wear over her long sleeve dress on those cooler days.  The pattern had long sleeves so I thought it would be perfect.  However, while knitting I was a bit concerned that the sleeves weren't going to be long enough, despite following the pattern and the rest of the pattern knitting up okay size wise.  I was right.  The sleeves definitely are not long!  The cardigan wasn't at all suitable for Kaya to wear over her dress so I thought I would see how it looked on Saige as she still has her summer dress on.

It fits fine over this, but as you can see the sleeves are a long way short of being long!  I may try again adding more stitches for the sleeves...or I may try another pattern.  I haven't decided yet.

Today I did some sewing.  I have actually cut out five dresses I think it is, to make, but made this first one for Peggy sue

She is waving hello.

I do love this style of dress on her, it fits so well and can also be worn by Sasha which is a bonus.

Peggy Sue has borrowed Marcia's beret which I think looks very sweet on her.
