Clothes for Jungle

Sometimes Louka likes trying to dress her dolls and bears. And sometimes, Jungle is her favourite doll. So it seemed like a good idea to make her some clothes. But I really didn't know where to begin, so I sent a call for help to Marnie.

Marnie kindly invited us over for a sewing day, saying she had plenty of doll clothes patterns for all kinds and sizes of dolls. So while Marnie made scones, I leafed through her pattern books and came up with a pair of simple pants and a blouse-y top. Then after morning tea, Marnie thought she'd see what she could come up with, and drafted from scratch a very smart dress with matching underpants. Then because the table was too crowded to work on the hat (for herself) that she wanted to make, she started on a smart red jacket for Jungle!


Meanwhile, Louka played with clay, got me to show her the fancy stitches on my sewing machine, and went outside to see the two rabbits (which were not allowed inside because they chew cables). They were very cute though.
