Susan and Amber enjoyed a brief walk in the garden in the weekend, between showers - where has the lovely weather gone? Oh I know, the Cherry Trees have started to blossom and that is ALWAYS the signal for cold wet and often windy weather!
Susan is wearing her fabulous retro dress by Sarah of Vintage-Sasha and Amber is wearing a pretty dress by Petrana which I think suits her perfectly.
Oh, Lorraine
ReplyDeleteYou made me smile again. My friend, Susan, had an almost identical dress to your Susan's in the 60s. I SO envied her as my mother kept me in waist dresses with full skirts to the knee and I was sure Susan looked just like Mary Quant in her navy spot mini dress! Actually she looked more like a Sweater Girl Sasha with her smooth blonde bob and long legs.
Are you going to be able to keep Amber? She is such a sweet girl.
Jenni
So glad I made you smile - that really makes me happy to think I am able to bring a smile to someone's face - that is what it is all about.
DeleteI just love this dress that Susan is wearing Jenni - it suits her so much and has helped me find her 'style'...of course now keeping her in that style might be a challenge!
Yes Amber is staying - I just couldn't part with her.
Both girls looks so lovely in their pretty outfits Lorraine. I love that style of dress that Susan is wearing, I really do need to try making a 70s style dress like this.....so many dolls to sew for, too little time! And Amber looks lovely in her pretty summer dress too.

It is great isn't it?! My sewing has been somewhat halted lately - just hurts too much at the moment, but hopefully will be able to get back to it.
DeleteI'm sorry to hear this Lorraine, I hope that you'll be pain free and back to sewing again soon.

Naughty! Naughty! Looks like we have well and truly fallen off the New Year Resolution Band Wagon now!
ReplyDeleteMind you I think with your last few new outfits temptation was just too much for most to bear... and I'm certain that it would have definitely have been broken in July when you're at the Sasha Festival....even the strongest willed of all the Sasha Collectors couldn't resist not buying an outfit or two there!
The brown/beige based outfits of Petrana's Summer Collection were my favourites of them all.
Continued good luck with your doll sales.
Exactly Kendal! Have to point out that I did allow the Sasha Festival to be an exemption if I made it though! ;--) Funnily enough though, I didn't buy any outfits at the Sasha Festival last year - not that I wasn't tempted!
DeleteTruth is, I am just too (insert naughty word) sore to do any sewing at the moment and thought that dress would suit Amber beautifully - and it does :-) Sometimes rules are made to be broken....ha ha.
