Another One Done

I continue to work on the teensie Forest Dweller outfits. I chose a salt-dye turquoise for the Chipmunk girl's dress, and a gray floral, striped, print for the apron...

The pieces are so small that many things need to be sewn by hand, and everything has to be basted by hand first before it can be run under the sewing machine....

But I finished it....

So that's two done....and three more to go....

Two well dressed little critters indeed!

Seeing the bodice under the presser foot gives a good idea of just how tiny these little outfits actually are. I really like the colour and print combinations you've used.

Thanks. They are TINY! The mouse and Chipmunk are just 10 cm tall (including their ears). The absolute hardest thing is setting in the sleeves - first by hand, and then by machine. Usually at least one needs the machine stitching picked out, and done over.

And to think that I ordered the very first of these mice dreaming of making the fancy little Rococo outfits in Beatrix Potter's Tailer of Gloucester. Ummmm....not going to happen....
