I really liked Lawrence and Monica in contemporary clothes, and decided to make Lawrence an overcoat. I also made him a shirt and knit him a sweater and scarf. Then the two of them went out shopping together....  They went to the Courtyard Square in Pickering Village...
Its wasn't very busy there...  Lawrence bought her some flowers...      Today I'm releasing all the patterns for my recent House Elf outfits.
It also includes the patterns for Willie's ragged and Christmas Elf outfits...
For such small characters there certainly are a LOT of patterns. Seven pages in all. To download the pdf click on the button below....  The patterns are also at the bottom of the House Elf Costume Gallery 2022 page, where you can get a better look at all the individual outfits. There's also some under construction photos and tips there. However, there are no detailed instructions, so you are on your own. Because they are so small, many of the 'patterns' are actually templates, intended to be traced onto the wrong side of the fabrics. Then they become the stitching lines. Making such tiny outfits was a major challenge so is best undertaken by someone with considerable sewing experience. Good Luck!Finally dinner was ready, and everyone sat down to enjoy a delicious meal....  ...and as tasty as that was, everyone's favourite was always the desserts...     
    It was still a little while until dinner, and the men relaxed in frony of the fire...  ...while Phairby and Fodder joined the twins in a game of Sorry!     "Your turn!"    Putting together Christmas dinner for a crowd, is a lot of work, so Winston and Willie were helping Daisy in the kitchen...  Winston loved baking, and was only too happy to help make the desserts....  ...while Daisy supervised...   With the tree finished, and the popcorn gone, Fodder went over to join the others in some 'adult' libation.  Saphira was having fun with the twins, offering them 'piggy back' rides....  As Archibald kept the suds flowing...   ...but Winston preferred a non-alcoholic beverage...  'Wow! This is good stuff!!"   "It's my turn for a ride now!"  "Okay. Just one more run around the room!"  Meanwhile Gino just sat relaxing off by himself, catching up on his reading, while ignoring all the hustle and bustle around him.  Gino was up on the ladder, ready to hang Emily's popcorn chain...  Saphira handed it up to him...  ...while Avery and Fodder helped themselves to the leftover popcorn...  "It looks good up there."     Meanwhile, the older folks were helping themselves to the wine.  A little something to help warm up their old bones....     The men and dragons had arrived back home nicely in time to help with the final tree decorating...  Emily was busy finishing the popcorn string...  ..before Avery ate all the popcorn...   Gino was up on the ladder dealing with the last lights....   Fodder had finally arrived, and was trying to help as well...   ...while Winston and Saphira added ornaments to the very top...
