Laundry Day

And we are back to Bianca in the 18th century.....
Picture
She had spent the morning washing, and was headed out to hang everything up.

"Sorry guys, I already fed you..."
Picture
She headed out the gate....
Picture
"Looks like a good day for drying."

Hi Martha, Do you have a sewing pattern or tutorial to make this for our dolls? I absolutely love this. I love peasant women that work in the fields as well, dirndls and costumed dolls. So pretty.

No I don't. At some point I will release just the patterns in the 'Just Patterns' section, but there will not be any instructions. It's just too much work to stop and take photos of every single step.

I also plan on doing a 'Creative Journey' on the making of the 'Outlander' style costumes. Again with no instructions. But it might still be helpful.

Bianca looks adorable even doing the laundry.

Everyone should look that beautiful doing the laundry!

The ducks and geese are a nice addition to the realism of the scene.

I love these pictures so much. Love her outfit and wig! You make the best wigs! I'm curious as to how Bianca is able to hold the basket? Do you have some secret way to make dolls hold things?

Ok, off to look at more pretty pictures!

She actually has a Monique Ellowyn Rose wig. Most of theme I just use some eye putty, but for this basket I used tiny elastics around the handles of the basket, and put them around her hands, hiding them in her wrist joints.
