Sunday Summary - Knitting and Sewing over the last week.

The productive theme continues.

Emily is modelling a Christmas dress 

The back does up with three buttons.

A Christmas Jumper/Sweater modelled by Susan.

It sparkles in the sun!

Does up at the back with a half opening and three buttons.

Maddison says this dress is a keeper for sure!

It goes perfectly with her pink boots.  

Next up some sewing.... 

Emily models this fun Christmas dress - can't believe how fast this time of year is!

Sophia looks pretty in the blue snowman dress.

Maddison is modelling the Christmas Village dress - this is already sold.

Again she is modelling another dress (yes I know the pink boots don't go with the dress, but try telling Maddison that!)

Emily in green snowflakes.

Some non-Sasha knitting..

Matilda (who I think will become Tilly) is wearing a dress knitted for her just in time for Peggy Sue's birthday party.   She has been in a box for a whole year so was very pleased to be let out, although was rather tentative...

There is much excitement here at Rose Cottage as we approach December and the annual opening of the Advent Calendar...I wonder what it will be this year?!

Sunday Summary - Knitting & Sewing

 Another busy week knitting with a bit of sewing thrown in.

Rainbow cardigan.

Lovely soft yarn and a fun bright and cheery colour for winter.

I made this mini skirt

Which looks great with the rainbow cardigan.

I can see I will have to make another of these cardigans so Maddison can keep one for herself to go with the skirt.

I've made some new waistcoats and finished three that needed completing.

I have also got two pairs of trousers and four dresses almost finished,

Continuing on with the knitting

This purple dress is something a little different and I think it looks great.

Maddison just refuses to take off her pink boots!

This dress was knitted for an order and is now on its way to the lucky Sasha.

Another dress (photo taken in poor light!)

It also fits Peggy Sue (16-17 inch Schoenhut Miss Dolly)

A yellow dress for Peggy Sue

I knitted a cardigan to go with the dress as it is too cold at this time of year to just wear a sleeveless dress, but the bright and cheery colours will remind her of summer time.

This time a winter dress for Peggy Sue.  As I had sold the other apricot dress I promised her I would knit her another one and thought I would knit long sleeves.

I added a beret, and I think Peggy Sue is pretty pleased with it.

Most of the clothes I show on here are available to purchase either directly from me, on my Muriel Makes Facebook page, or in my Etsy shop

Sunday Summary - Knitting & Sewing

I have done quite a lot of knitting and sewing over the last couple of weeks.  Mostly for dolls other than Sasha, but also some for Sasha/Gregor.

I will show the Sasha/Gregor items first.

Blue hues, a pretty variegated cardigan, perfect with jeans or over a dress, and just in time for the cold weather! 

I love this wool and colour, I knitted a cardigan with it that I sold with a patchwork skirt and wished I'd kept it, so knitted a sweater with what I had left over.

This pretty dress was snapped up instantly!  They are such pretty colours and something a little different for Sasha.

I designed this simple 'Night Owl' sweater and can see me making some more of these.  Probably better for the more petite Sasha/Gregor, but Susan thinks it is great with jeans.

Knitted with lovely NZ 100%  Merino wool.

Getting ready for Christmas this is a really soft variegated yarn.

The dress that Maddison was modelling above also fitted Peggy Sue who is now disappointed to learn that it won't be hers!

Some pretty Christmas/Party dresses for American Girl dolls.

Lovely long cardigan for Peggy Sue

Which was eventually teamed with a skirt...

...and a knitted short sleeve top

Complete outfit.

I did quite a bit of 'tiny' knitting.

I made a few things for Mini American Girl Melody

This is one

This is another.

I knitted a little wardrobe for my childhood Perfekta doll who had been um, rather neglected for quite a few years and had no clothes!

I also did a little sewing...

This dress is probably going to be for Peggy Sue's birthday...

I also made some Hitty clothes.

A dress for Christmas (I have so far made two of these, one of which was an order)

Knitted a cardigan and made a skirt for Hitty Madge

Another dress (two made like this)

A dress for spring/summer (Two made)

Stripes!

I have also ventured into doll making.

Lucy, and as yet un-named.

Three little dolls for dolls (I want to make at least another two)

A little 6 1/2 inch doll  'Beth Ann' 

and finally my favourite so far, a Raggedy Ann style doll whom I have named Esme.  She is 10 inches tall.
