Evergreen Collection - Part 2



The models in this group are Keira (a rerooted brunette from 1969 - beautifully rerooted as a sidepart redhead by Lisa Hartley), an early 70's Sasha waif wearing a light ginger Peggy Sue wig, my beautiful and as yet unnamed puddle eyed brunette reroot (again by Lisa Hartley), and Greg my blonde gregor from 1970.



Keira is wearing a beautiful dark green leaf print cotton dress. The dress is drop waisted with a gathered two tiered skirt. Her contrasting belt is decorated at the front with a lovely white enamelled flat bead. Her pants are made using the same contrasting cotton fabric used in her belt.

Her socks and hair tie are knit using a pale green lace weight shetland wool.

The shoes are dark green leather Mary Jane shoes that I bought on ebay a few years ago but which I thought were perfect with this outfit. I felt she needed dark green shoes.



This sweater was based on a sweater pattern that I saw in a knitting magazine.

I loved the style of the cable detail and the rib detail at the neck that became her collar.


Her dark green leggings are a lovely contrast to the colour of her sweater.



Her sweater is knit using a loving sock yarn in sage, grey and a spring green. The colours drift through each other.



She has chestnut uggs which are perfect with the outfit.


Her earflap hat is knitted in a striped fairisle pattern using the same sock wool as her sweater, a plain dark green wool and an ivory wool. Plaited ties.



A beautiful traditional style dress outfit with peach/pink coloured flowers with darker sage green leafy tendrils set against a pale green background colour.


I chose a lovely contrast cotton fabric for her slip and pantalettes. It is a peachy/pink fabric with ivory polka dots.

White ribbed socks and cream leather laced Boneka boots.

She has a lovely matching fine ribbon tying her hair.




















Greg is wearing a cute hoody, another new sweater pattern. I used a lovely sock wool. There are 3 different shades of green in his sweater.
His trousers are a forest green needlecord. They are a new straight leg style.
His track shoes are black and white.

His mittens and socks are hand knit using pale green shetland lace weight wool.

Winter Frost Collection: Part 2


In this group of Sashas are: Sasha (1968 Frido fringe girl); Katie (late 60's Kilt girl); Esther (my brunette version Gotz toddler).


Sasha is wearing an elegant outfit. Her party dress is made using a fine floral cotton fabric and features a tiered skirt.

I thought the longer style shaped jacket looked elegant with the belt.

She is wearing matching pants and little white socks with navy leather boneka shoes.


Beside Sasha is my little brunette Esther. When I bought her her hair had already been coloured but in night light it looked salmon pink instead of ginger so I took the plunge and coloured her hair again.

Her smock is made using the same lovely bamboo sock yarn as Sasha's jacket. It is a new toddler outfit and the smock features a pretty textural bramble pattern and little turned up cuffs.

Her trousers are made using the same floral fabric as the dress sasha is wearing.

I completed the outfit with little shetland wool lace weight bootees tied with I-cord made from the same wool as her smock.

Sasha's knitted jacket is made using a beautiful bamboo sock yarn which has a fabulous sheen and drape when knitted with a lovely silky feel.

The colour of this outfit draws out the blue tones in her eyes.
I love this outfit on Katie.

The drop waist dress has a gathered skirt, v-neck and the short sleeves have a little pleat at the cuff. I matched the buttons to the beautiful green colour of the leaves. The buttons took a while to find but are really gorgeous.

The blue lace weight shetland wool cardigan has a v-neck style that fits perfectly beneath the collar of her dress. The blue is exactly the same colour as the blue flower on her floral dress and her blue shoes.

Her socks were knit using natural white lace weight shetland wool with a fine blue stripe.

As usual her pants match her dress fabric.
