Audrey Brooch







While tidying the workroom, I always happen to stumble upon projects that were once lost and not finished.

Rita Mae

                                        My latest lady








                             Rita Mae stands at 21 inches in height 
              Has a light wire frame body to give some structure & bend
  A rayon 1930s hanky makes up her blouse with hidden poppers down the front. Her jeans were made out of a pair of jeans kindly donated by my other half' & also have hidden poppers down the back seam. Red wool, hessian and leather make up her wedges...and a red felt handbag completes her look.






       
                            Of course no outfit is complete without underwear...

Treasures of last week

The other week I was rather lucky to find a haul of treasures.. two pairs of rather grand 1940s chestnut brown walking shoes ( will be perfect for winter)... also in the same lot a collection of stunning patterns and pattern magazines  -



















I also have say the free patterns were intact...unheard of really.

Lilli



This is dear Lilli... She stands at 65cm in height. Made from a cream piece of felt and embroidered details. Her platform shoes are made out of green snake leather...her blouse an old silk scarf and her skirt is made out of red wool skirt I used to wear.  


After journeys here and there (and perhaps too many late nights...she is a bit of a stopout) she's laddered her stockings. 




Standing in her satin smalls... and looking quite haughty. 




Lilli has the tiniest of waists and wonderful hips... She is certainly a perfect hourglass, the lucky gal. 

Perhaps, you may want a doll like our Lilli? It would be lovely to take requests...
