Some Clothes for Rose

Just chillin' in her sleeveless top I made her and her cord jeans.

Working...on what I am not sure, but I have been reassured she was working and not browsing shops!

But then these arrived....

Some gorgeous clothes from Bella's Doll Clothes.

I do agree Rose, that t shirt goes perfectly with your cords.

A lovely fit.

With Rose being her name, she of course had to have a dress with roses on it.

She looks gorgeous in it I think.

A bumblebee dress was also needed as flowers need bees to pollinate.

Such a lovely cheerful dress.

Pretty in yellow on this lovely afternoon.

Sewing for my Smart Doll

Knowing that I'll probably never be able to justify buying original Smart Doll clothing, at least not new, and especially if I am going to have to add custom fees to the purchase, I decided to try and make my own clothes for her with Danny's very generous free patterns that he offers on the Smart Doll website.  Now these patterns don't come with any instructions, so you have to know how to sew and how to put them together!

On a whole I am really pleased with my first attempt at making her some jeans/trousers using needle cord fabric that I had in my stash.  I actually didn't have many fabrics suitable at all to make jeans/trousers with and wasn't sure how this material would work, but actually it worked fine.

Rose looks really pleased with them as well.

They have working front pockets, including an extra little pocket on the left side (right side looking at picture)

The back fits quite nicely for my first attempt at this pattern.

I might not have got the pockets straight...I thought I did, it may be the way she is standing, I'll have to take extra care next time.  

I also knitted her this little top.

 

Bright Orange Hair!

A second Paola Reina doll has joined the Rose Cottage Friends.

She came in plastic package with little shorts and t shirt.

Here she is just let free.

Plastic hair band removed - she has really lovely soft hair.

I knitted a little dress last night with some of the left over sock yarn from the last pair of socks I made.  I was pretty sure the greens would go well with her bright orange hair and I am pleased with the look, although I have in mind to make her a steam-punk type outfit.  Not that I really have any idea how to go about this, but that is my thoughts at the moment, so we will see.

I think she has the same face mold as Oona Faith, I will have to take  a photo of them together at some stage, but I was so excited that she arrived this morning, I wanted to write a short blog post welcoming her straight away.  I've called her Orla Hope

Edited to add photo with Oona Faith.

 

Some more clothes!

A little top to go with the pleated skirt

Pink for Valentines Day!  A new pair of trousers and a little knitted top.

Her Mix n Match Capsule Wardrobe is growing.

 

Mix n Match Capsule Wardrobe for Oona Faith - Some more items.

 

The last couple of days I have added some more clothing to Oona Faith's Mix n Match Capsule Wardrobe.

Another little dress 

A cotton skirt

A little knitted rib top

and a pleated skirt.

Knitting for Oona Faith

What better to do on cold evenings and days but to sit in front of the fire and knit.

I made this fun little dress for Oona Faith with some left over sock yarn I had.

I think she looks really cute in it.

I also knitted her a little cardigan, as it is of course cold here at the moment.

I have another dress almost finished.

I hope to do a post in the next couple of days showing various clothes that fit from other types of dolls.
