All the new fabric gave me such a lot of ideas that I hardly know where to start. Kid dresses are always fun to make, so I started with two new summer dresses for the kids and a skirt for Solovet. While Fiona loves girly dresses, Mailin is usually more of a tomboy. But she liked the green Entwined vine fabric from AlwaysknittingandSewing, and it suits her.
And since I just can’t spend as much time on new ideas as I would like, I have to resort to sketching them. I am fascinated by the idea what women would have worn in the past if they had been free to combine as it pleased them. Mom’s Edwardian coat and a flapperdress for example.
The little girls' dresses are adorable. I love Solovet's outfit, too. Pink and gray is one of my favorite color combinations, although it's been years since I made anything in those colors. It takes the right fabric–lucky you for finding it. Your fashion sketches would work wonderfully for a character who is on the Bohemian side. I hope to see you make clothes from some of them.
Thank you. I hope I will find the time. Unfortunately this style in the sketches requires a lot of layers, and I haven't found a way to make it look less bulky yet. Maybe I should make something for the bigger girls. Tabea would love it.
You always sew amazing stuff, but I'm surprise you can also sketch them! My hands turn into fists when I try to draw anything, and I have zero ideas about making outfits from scratch -I always google for outfits to reproduce in doll size.
You have all of my admiration, Mia!
Thank you :). I sometimes do that as well, but sketching them is the safest way to remember an idea. The only problem is that I always have more ideas than I could possibly realise. Oh.. you are too kind :). I guess I have to thank my parents for a lucky genetic mix. Which definitely doesn't include skills like calculating or cooking 😀
