I've finished three commission outfits and made Gallery pages for them, so now am taking a short break to make my Nelly something new. It's her turn for an 'up-cycled' baby dress, and I've chosen a bright yellow sundress with chickies embroidered on it - for Easter. The hardest part - after taking that first cut - is finding enough fabric to cut the various doll outfit pieces out of. I really like the 'hatching chick' motif on the original bodice front but it's way too big for a doll dress. I thought about cross-stitching a smaller one, but I'd rather keep the integrity of the original, so am going to piece a single chick on the bodice instead.
The original baby dress was just a simple jumper which was worn over a separate blouse, but I'm going to combine the two into one outfit with white lace-edged collar and puffy sleeves.
