A Mix n Match Wardrobe - Part Two.

Clipper's new mix n match wardrobe is growing and transforming.  I am thinking that some of the original clothing I made her (with the purple hues) might be going to another doll and she will stick with greens and browns, and now reds which she insisted were added most recently.  I am having a lot of fun with her wardrobe, and loving how it is evolving.

While I had a few days off from knitting I made her a red jacket which I showed in my Creative Week Summary post on Sunday.   I added a little red gingham skirt with a trim that brings in the greens.  I think I will make her a pair of red boots as well. 

This is her wardrobe to date.  

I can see at a glance what I need to add:

A couple of bags, some shoes and some boots for the colder weather.  Perhaps a long sleeve cardigan or two would be nice additions too.

Yesterday while she was out with me on my walk she wore her new skirt made with fabric I had dyed with marigolds from my garden.  She posed for some of the people in the group as they wanted to take a photo of her.

The fabrics above show the before and after photos of the fabrics I dyed.  The shades of greens to the right were dyed in Marigolds and the fabric bottom left was dyed with beetroot grown in our garden, which was a surprise as it dyes your hands red, yet the fabric went almost a beige colour.  

Difficult to see that this is a green shade in this photo.

I put a little button at the back and the skirt is tightened with a little drawstring.  This works really well with these tiny skirts.

I knitted an olive green tee, hat and shawl with the very last of that colour of gorgeous NZ Merino wool I bought last year.  I had just enough to make the ties - with one inch left over!

A friend started doing a chart for me - I love this!
