I've started my next four outfits. They will be two sets of my "peasant/fantasy/Hobbit" style outfits - one set for my Narin and KID Lonnie, and the other set for Kaye Wiggs MSD boy and girl. I spent all day yesterday going through boxes of fabrics, and finally settled on a turquoise-blue combination for the girls, and a blue-purple and black combination for the boys. I made some turquoise-green tights for the girls, and some purple-striped socks for the guys. But then when going to check-out at Walmart last night, I spotted some men's T-shirts on sale - and they were in all kinds of different muted stripes. So, I picked an extra-large (more fabric) in a nice dull blue stripe and another in a tawny brown. The blue stripe was a perfect match to the shirt fabric I'd chosen for the boy's outfits, so today I had to remake the guy's socks.
I always work from the "inside out", so next step is to make pants for the boys, and pantaloons and slips for the girls. Then they can have their shoes back on.
