The Magic Trunk


Oh my word this must be a magic trunk, there is another new dress hanging up in it today!  Peggy Sue says to herself as she looks inside.


She takes off her blue dress and reaches up to get down the new dress.


She puts it on.


I must hang my pretty dress back up.  She says as she hangs it back up.


There...all hanging up nicely.  


Oh look a sun hat to match.


Peggy Sue puts the sun hat on.


Ta da!  My new dress and sun hat!

Sitting and waiting.

Now what shall I wear today?

Peggy Sue had a surprise when she went to her clothes trunk today...


A new dress!  She gasps.


A pretty blue, isn't it just lovely?  Oh wait before I take it down I better take my current dress off.  She says to herself.


She takes off her dress....


....and puts on her new dress.


Do I look pretty in this?  She asks


Of course you do Peggy Sue.

Don't I have such lovely clothes?  She looks up at her Sailor Dress.


Striking a pose...


Out in the garden Peggy Sue admires the flowers.


Smells the roses...


Hmm....and stands in the pot!

Preparing Peggy Sue's Wardrobe for Autumn/Winter


In February of this year I wrote a post on Peggy Sue's wardrobe and what she has to wear.

While her summer clothes has been added to, her winter wardrobe remains much the same.


Essential for the cold days this purple winter hat and coat is just perfect and a favourite of Peggy Sue's.  I think it might be quite nice to add mittens and a scarf to this.


A purple knit dress which looks great under the coat.


A favourite of Peggy Sue's (and mine!) is this lovely knitted dress.  I would quite like to make another of these in another colour scheme.


Blue & Grey striped linen dress which matches one that Anne-Marie has.


Floral dress - Peggy Sue and I have both reached the same conclusion that we don't like this one on her so it will go.


Laura Ashley Needle cord dress (originally made for Sasha) A dress for 'good' with its little matching broach.


Hooded cardigan that can be used with the dress above.


Grey dress - can change the ribbons on this.


Poncho to go with the grey dress - must add tassels to this,


Two cardigans.  The blue goes with her school uniform and would also go with her grey dress.  

The red will go with her grey dress.

Not photographed are her tights - black, white and multicoloured stripes.  
Three pairs of shoes, black, cream and purple.

I think Peggy Sue is almost set for the colder months that seem to be upon us already!

What I would like to make to complete her Autumn/Winter wardrobe is:

Scarf & Mittens
Undergarments - panties and vest
Play clothes - trousers or dungarees with a long sleeve top.
A long sleeve knitted dress
A long sleeve cotton dress to replace the brown floral dress
Add tassels to poncho.

Peggy Sue's Wardrobe, a work in progress.

I started working on Peggy Sue's wardrobe today.  I don't want to do too much at the moment in case I change my mind, so just trying a few things out.  I have lined the back with a pretty floral paper.  Eventually I will do the whole inside if I like the look.  I have added four hooks on the top for the coat hangers to hang from.  I have cleaned the mirror, but only with a rag as I couldn't find out glass cleaner.  I am hoping once I find it, it will clean up better, if not I might see if I can find something different to use in there.


It is a perfect size for her clothes.



Oh dear, my hair!


That's better!

Purple Coat, Hat & Dress by Request

As requested, Peggy Sue in her purple coat, hat and dress.  


Going for a quick walk before the weather changes!


I wonder what she has seen?
