Step Into Spring Collection Preview - Part 1

Posted in Labels: , , ,
17:13
Initially when I started work on the Step into Spring collection I wondered how the colour scheme would work translated into outfits.   I really enjoyed planning the new styles and thinking about the look of each outfit.
There are 3 swimming costumes as part of this collection.  They are part of the outfits and can be carried in the Sasha dolls shoulder bag when not being worn.   The yellow swimming costume is part of the outfit that Gotz Anna is modelling.
I designed several new items of knitwear for the collection.  One of my favourites is the pretty yellow top worn by Anna knitted in lace weight shetland wool.
Another favourite is the lovely fairisle cardigan with 3/4 length sleeves.  The five colours of lace weight shetland wool blend through each other beautifully.
I found it difficult to find sandals that were right for some of the outfits so made my own.  They are made completely from leather and are based on the style of my Frido white sandals.  The pale blue leather is very soft. 
I shall photograph the outfits over the next few days.

Winter Warmth Collection - Part 3

Posted in Labels: , , , ,
17:35

The Sasha models in this section are Sasha (a blonde fringe girl from 1968), Pip (a pretty brunette "Party" side part girl from 1968) and Pippa (a pretty early 70's brunette girl who I rewigged).

Sasha is wearing a beautiful Kilt outfit. A warm woollen red tartan skirt. The gansey is hand knit using whie lace weight shetland wool. Her hat is knit using 4 ply red wool, the edge and scarf are knitted in seed stitch.



She has white knee socks and fun red shoes with cute little cat faces. An adorable ensemble to keep your Sasha warm and cosy.

Pip is wearing a beautiful smocked dress in rich colours. The smocked dress is made from richly coloured cotton fabric. The background is a pretty peach tone. The pattern is in rich reds, gold and green. The smocking picks out these shades and her pants match the dress.

Her bolero is hand knit using fine 4 ply dark red tweedy wool. I chose a pretty peach lace weight shetland wool for her ankle socks. It matches the background colour of her dress. I used this wool to knit her hair tie. Her boneka t-strap leather shoes finish the outfit beautifully.


Wonderful tunic sweater in the rich colours of a Noro sock wool. Autumnal colours of rusty orange, gold, gren and rich deep reds. The neck fastens with a pretty silver clasp.


She wears dark red bootleg needlecord trousers. Her socks are knitted using 4 ply dark gold wool. Her bag is made using the same gold wool. The flap has a modern style large rust coloured button on the front.


On her feet she wears black leather laced Bonika shoes which complete the look perfectly.
