A Christmas dress for my Mum's favourite childhood doll, Sasha. I think that they are worth quite a bit of money, actually. She always looked very cold without any clothes on, so I made this out of some scraps from a dress that I made for my Theatre Studies Monologue last year.
This is my most recent dress- a birthday dress made from delicious floral cotton. I made it by tracing a shirt onto paper, and then altering it as I sewed. I finished it with some shocking pink velvet ribbon and some buttons that I cut off a couch in the street when I was fifteen.
This is a book-box-bag that I made when I was sixteen? or seventeen? Anyway, it was in year 11. I made it using an old cardboard book of farmyard animals and I punched holes in it and sewed the squares together using blue ribbon.
The lining is some flowers with a black background and the clasp is from a blue vinyl 60s beauty case that was so broken that I couldn't use it anymore.
The handle is from a square bucket that had slugs in it.

ReplyDeleteFirst of all thanks for your commenting on my blog. Yours is verry nice too.
ReplyDeleteAnd your dress is verry cute, i love it!
You sort of look like a doll, very lovely! I adore your hair--it looks so shiny and long.
ReplyDeleteBook Box = genius! You need to track down some Little Golden Books and make some more of these for people to use as storage containers.
ReplyDeletelove the box. what a fun idea. i will have to try it the next time the kids go to a birthday party. it would make for good gift wraping and also be a keepsake.
