This fabulous hand-dyed wool is called Black Purl from Lorna's Laces...

Gorgeous shades of purple, lavender and mauve...  Love the colours in this dress...

Sasha of course grumbled about having bare legs... Haven't decided what to put with the outfit yet... probably leggings and planning a earflap style hat...

The colours are very dark, deep and rich...
The dress has long sleeves, polo neck, and a little pocket at the front...

Modern and fun...

Evergreen Collection - Part 1

Posted in Labels: , , ,

The models in this group are 3 gorgeous girls. Sasha is my 1968 blonde fringe girl with beautiful grey blue eyes, Katie is a 1969 Kilt girl and loves to wear her hair in plaits. Emilie is a beautiful Kelly Wenarsky repaint who wears a real hair wig in a lovely auburn shade.


Sasha is wearing a beautiful traditional style dress outfit. The dress has a very dainty leafy tendril pattern with dainty red flowers on a two toned ivory and cream background. I chose an ivory and cream patterned cotton for her collar, cuffs and pantalettes.

I chose a lovely greyish green polka dot fabric for her slip which perfectly matches the colour of the leafy tendrils on her dress.
Her socks are handknit using ivory lace weight shetland wool. She is wearing cream leather Boneka shoes.


Katie is wearing a beautiful sweater dress with a polo neck collar and a pocket at the front. It is hand dyed merino wool. There are many shades of green, aqua and grey in the dress. It is truly beautiful.








I teamed this dress with grey leggings and a beanie hat. This mid grey just seemed to make the colours in the dress glow. Beautiful combination.
It looks particularly stunning on my early blonde girl Katie. I think that is why I chose to put the cream coloured ugg boots with the outfit. I had been thinking of the chestnut coloured uggs but decided that the cream ones were the best choice.

Emilie is wearing a beautiful green flecked sweater and hat. They are knit using sock wool where the shades just seem to drift through each other from light to dark.
The green is ivy coloured and had a bluish tone which I used in the scarf which is knit using an ivy green, a blue and a very dark forest green lace weight wool. I have finished the scarf with a little tassel fringe.



Her trousers are a lovely shade of dark green needlecord.
Her hand knit socks match her hat and sweater and the outfit is completed with a pair of laced ankle boots.


The duffle coat is made from the very dark forest green with a toning lining fabric. It looks beautiful with the sweater outfit.
The duffle fastens with brown suede loops and darker toned wooden toggles.
The duffle is fully lined.

Winter Warmth Collection - Part 2

Posted in Labels: , , , , ,

The models are Annett (Gotz Sasha), her sister Anna (also by Gotz) and Matthew (my early 1968 Frido Gregor with beautiful eyes).


Annett is wearing a fun dark red tweedy knit ear flap hat with plaited ties.






Her gorgeous richly coloured polo neck alpaca sweater dress with long sleeves and a pocket on the front. Beautiful shades of red, gold, gren and chocolate brown.

This modern dress teams perfectly with the chocolate brown leggings.
To complete the outfit she is wearing chocolate Ugg boots.


Beautiful russet needlecord duffle coat fully lined with russet lining fabric. The coat fastens with suede loops and wooden toggles.
This coat also looks beautiful with the other outfits in the collection

Stunning floral cotton dress with a golden ochre background with a pattern of deep red roses and olive green foliage.
Gathered skirt.

Dark red peter pan collar. Short puffed sleeves with dark red piping accent and cuffs.

Hand knit lace weight ankle socks which tone with the background colour of the dress. The same wool was used to make the hair tie. To complete the outfit she has lovely dark red Mary Jane shoes which match the roses beautifully.


The warm brown cashmere yarn used for Matthew's hat and scarf is wonderfully soft to the touch. I used the sweater yarn for the stripes.


The warm brown draws out the lovely brown colour of his eyes.



His sweater is knit using a lovely sock yarn in many shades of russet and warm brown drifting into each other. The needlecord trousers are straight leg with pockets at the front. His socks match his sweater. The outfit is completed with a pair of laced black leather Bonika shoes.
