Baby Bear Goes to the Ball

This is one of the tiniest Sylvanians, a little baby, so the sewing was a challenge for this.

I used wide gold ribbon and used fray check on all the raw edges.

I cut one strip and doubled it over before threading it with elastic for the skirt; the 2 layers made a nice full skirt.

The bodice was also cut from ribbon, sewing was tricky as it was so very small, so I ended up blanket stitching the edges with gold thread and trimming all the neckline with gold seed beads.

The ribbon bow was a half width of ribbon stitched together and  sewn to the back of the waistband to hide the elastic; the cross over for the bow is also trimmed with camouflage of gold seed beads.

Fairy Tale Outfit

 WOW!


Molly Mouse is modelling Hettie's design 




...which is a full skirted princess dress with an optional hat




The dress is purple and lilac duchesse satin.

It is trimmed with pink binding, lace and hologram-style pink flower beads which swathe the back of the dress...

Underneath the dress Molly 
wears a full lace underskirt 
edged with more pink binding and a pair of very smart peep toe white party shoes

Working that leg at the Oscars - Catgelina in a rich purple Duchesse satin gown...

(Yay I have discovered Prym's fray check; it is magical so no more binding seams - unless I want to!)

Meanwhile, back in the atelier sewing assistant Nana is hard at work on a Duchesse satin dress for Hettie in shades of lilac... it is going to have a very very sticky out skirt...

Chic Spring Tailoring

Sadie Persis wears a tailored coat with a subtle print, double breasted front and gathered sleeves.

It has a flared "skirt" section which is a contrast with the flat front of the coat.
