Traveling Clothes

We are planning a road trip through New England this fall, and I thought I'd better be prepared and make some new outfits for dolls to take along. I'm taking my Narae and Doll Leaves Maya - it will be his first adventure. I had thought maybe something "Anne of Green Gables", or 18th century peasant fisherfolk, but finally have it nailed down, and am well on the way through both outfits.  Narae is getting a costume similar to one I did years ago for a Scottish legend heroine, with tartan underskirt and shawl, with a wine-red over-skirt and red velvet lace-up vest over a white flouncy blouse. Maya will get something similar to a 'Hobbit", with 3/4 length pants, a full shirt, vest, and hooded cloak. I ordered some nice brown 'hiking boots' for both of them, and I think they could both use nice leather bags.  I figure if I get the trip clothes out of the way I'll be free to make whatever I want right up until it's time to leave.

If you come down through Vermont, I highly reccommend the Shelburne Museum just south of Burlington. Its historic buildings come from all over New England, and it provides acres of photo ops. Shelburne Farms, just down the road on Lake Champlain, also provides great scenery for doll photos.

Thanks Lorraine Jean! I'll make note of the Shelburne Museum - we love those kinds of historic village museums. Vermont is supposed to be spectacular in the fall and we'll be passing through on the way to Maine.

Thanks Charie! I can't wait to see them done as well. It will be Maya's first outfit.
