My Miki was standing around with nothing to wear, so I decided to start remaking some of the old baby clothes that I'd saved. No one is ever going to wear them again, and I sure don't want to give them to Goodwill, so why not re-make them into special doll clothes for some of my cutest dolls to wear? Then they don't have to stand around waiting in their underwear while I'm working on someone else - like the fairy commissions that I'm starting to get inquiries for.
This little blue dress was made entirely from a dress I made for Mary for her first birthday. I picked the entire original dress apart, made all the ruffles narrower, and even cut the new collar from the old collar (from the back, where it wasn't stained), and re-used the snap fasteners. The blue ribbon is original too.
I'm also in the process of painting all the edges of the velour strips for Cuprit's Spring Goddess outfit. The gold paint enhances the edges of the strips and prevents any unravelling at the same time. It's just a very tedious, monotonous job, which will probably take a few days.
In the meantime, it's starting to look like spring outside! My early crocuses are even showing their colour. In a day or two they will actually bloom!
