Sterling silver box pendant with a Mother.of.Pearl button. Wire balled on both sides through the button, square tube bail.
Using one men's shirt, I first made a little dress for Edison from the bottom of the men's shirt. I used the placket as the straps at the front, the buttons on one side and the buttonholes on the other. They button together at the back and form a Y shape. I added piping between the bodice and the skirt, the skirt is the full bottom of the shirt, taking it in just a tiny bit at the back. It keeps the shirt's original curved hem. The back is shirred at the waist, making it easy on & off and also cute! The bodice was cut on the cross-grain of the shirt, making the checks go in a different direction to the rest of the dress and the lining is some pretty orange and purple lotus blossom cotton. I paired the dress with a little pair of bloomers made in the lotus blossom fabric. They have a shirred waist, orange bias-binding {I made the bias-binding and the piping all myself!} around the legs and are lined with the sleeves of the men's shirt. I made it so the bloomers are reversible! Amelia's little outfit used the top part of the men's shirt, utilising the collar and the top of the placket. I made bieas-binding from the lotus blossom fabric and bound the armholes. I added piping between the top of the shirt and the little peplum skirt. I switched out the buttons on both outfits from the shirt buttons to some more colour-popping purple buttons. Amelia's shorts are self-drafted, with front pockets and back welt pockets bound in the lotus blossom cotton. They have a flat front and elasticated back. I added some little tabs from the shirt scraps to the pocket and the four buttons on the shorts are the men's shirt buttons.
The moccasins are made from my old fake-suede curtains and lined in felt. I used the Charlie boots pattern for Edison's Moc boots and added the fringing and a little fold over band at the top. For Amelia's moccasin slippers I used the Micky Moccasin pattern and added the fringe around the sides and back. Their little headbands are made using vanilla-coloured lingerie elastic. Edison's I twisted strips of fabric scraps and glued them to felt, gluing it to the headband. Amelia's used an old beaded and sequined scrap I have been hoarding forever, stitched onto a doily.

This button is from the now defunct Western Welsh Bus Company. It is stamped on the back "Manclare & Son Edinburgh".
Button decided Lisa's bag was a great alternative to clothes. Especially since hers aren't finished.
She sports an egg warmer hat, and handmade merino wool felt shoes.
20 years old... today she was running and playing in the yard and would go part way up a tree just to scurry back down and pounce on some leaves. Some days... she barely moves and when she does it's like a 100 year old person creeping around! :-)
