Outfit Design, Part Two

 (If you haven't seen part one, click here: http://thesaltysadollblog.blogspot.com/2014/02/outfit-design-part-one.html)

Hello, lovely readers!  Late yesterday afternoon, I started sewing my coat and Chrissa's outfit.  Unfortunately, I forgot to take any pictures of the making of Chrissa's tunic, but here are some in-processes pictures of sewing the cape ...

 ... pinning the pattern I made ...

 ... sewing the back and front together ...

 ... cutting excess string off the hood ...

 ... sewing the hood on the cape ...

 ... and last but not least, pinning (which took quite a long time) and sewing the black lining on.

 Here, Chrissa's drawing compared to the result.  Do you think I matched it well?

 She already had a blue belt, I just made the tunic and leggings.

 Again, the product compared to the drawing.

So, that's the finish of our outfit design.

Do you sew?

My Birthday Dress is Done!

 Hello, lovely readers!  As you can see from the title, Mother finally finished the dress she promised me for my birthday.  I am so pleased with it!

 The dainty sleeve, ...

 ... full view...

 ... and the neckline.  What do you think of it?  You know that I am very happy with it.  Chrissa does not understand why I like it so much.

"Maybe if I were playing pretend, or something, I would wear it.  But for every day use? I don't think so." she said.  "Don't get me wrong, it's very pretty and all, but just not my style."

Laughing, I replied "Chrissa, it's my style.  You should just accept that I'm not a 'trendy' girl."

"I know, I know."

Do have any homemade clothes?

P.S. If you don't remember my promised gift, Mother gave it to me in this post: Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!
