Patterns for Unders

The little Googly doll is being fitted for her underclothing...  I tried a pattern from "The Dolls Dressmaker" by Venus Dodge. 



Since I had never used this book before, I cut the pattern out first using striped scrap fabric.  Batiste intimidates me somewhat.... I have a hoard of it, because I put off using it.  

Anyway the pattern worked well for the knickers as it turned out.  I had her hair on, to show a friend, but have to take it off again as it's something you put on last.  But she looked cute here so I had to take a picture.

I have been making patterns by tracing on artist's palette paper, finding that is a good paper to use for a pattern piece... coated on one side and writeable on both sides....


Garden Grows (with some effort every day)

The echinaceas are starting to bloom.  I had never grown them before, the blooms last for weeks.



The roses are on their second surge.   This year, we discovered grape vines.  They have a nice "aura."  


The hydrangeas are starting to bloom.  The one in the middle is an oak leaf and the one on the right is lace cap.
