My doll collection may have grown a wee bit since August. Into a new hobby.
But look, here's Kirsten!
At Costume College I picked up someone's rejected dress bodice, which had this light blue silk as one of its two fabrics. After picking it apart, washing the pieces, and ironing them, I turned most of the one fabric into this Regency dress, altering one of the patterns from Josefina's Pretty Clothes. The white and blue trims are silk ribbons; I happened into a lot of them at a thrift store a few months back. For this dress, I just wrapped the ribbons around a line of straight stitches done with a long stitch length. The lace is from... somewhere? Maybe CoCo some years back, maybe a thrift store. The gulf of time separates me from sure knowledge.
