Regular visitors to my blog (all one of you, lol), may remember Florence Dollington, the doll I made from the Japanese Una-Na doll book.
A few weeks ago I finished some ponchos for her and started sewing little skirts and things to go with them. Here are the results.
Firstly, a very pink outfit :)

The poncho is made from some handspun wool/silk that I spun a couple of years ago. I wasn't sure what to make with the rest of it but it's so incredibly light and soft that it needs to be something special. The skirt is made from a hot pink printed acrylic felt fashion fabric sample from Reverse Garbage. All the clothes are made from discarded fabric samples (so is the doll).
Next are a skirt and top. I really like the way the top looks but it gets all screwed up when you put it on so any future ones will be slit down the front with buttons or ties of some sort.

Next is the same skirt with a matching buttoned stole. The stole is made from a scrap of alpaca bouclé from Rare Yarns

I added little embellishments to the ponchos and capelets that I had made previously. Here's the orange one. I added a little crochet flower and button and a matching edge.

The turquoise one has a new ribbon and flower

and the beige one has the little silver ribbon that was on my Easter chocolate rabbit :)

I also made a few more ponchos and scarves.
A little brown one with a vintage button closure and matching hand bag

A pink handspun one with a crocheted edge made with embroidery cotton.

A handspun green one with contrast purple edge and tie.

And all the scarves :)
The first one was knit from a lot of yarn colour card samples. I tied them together to make a fashion scrappy scarf.

A scarf made from the same handspun wool/silk as one of the ponchos

These are all crocheted by the way :)
This one is made from some Bendigo Mills 4 ply baby wool that I dyed

And finally three little handspun scarves

I have fabric all picked out to sew several little outfits and shoes to match each scarf or poncho. They're very addictive.

Hi there Sarah,
Well I must be the one of many readers of your blog.
I must ask though what size is Dollington
Also have Received my PDF version of the book. All 146 pgs. Will have to buy a nice new display folder. Will print out pages as I do the hats. :-)
Thank you for all your hard work.
Regards
