photos to the Iplekids Yahoo group Homepage in July, and it came all the way
from Spain. Elin immediately wanted to try it on.....
and Elin has already filled it with all her favourite toys.
Yesterday I worked on Tedros' hat. I was making good progress, but when I tried it on him, it was too small. The paper pattern had seemed big enough, but I guess all the layers of fabric and interfacing made the crown too small. It would have fit his bare head, but somehow I can't imagine a bald Musketeer. So I had to start all over again. This morning I finished the new hat. I've also painted the fleur-de-lis motifs on his doublet, and when they dry, I will embroider over them with silver and gold thread. Hopefully I'll have photos tomorrow.
