Monday was work-at-Mariadenmark-day so I was at the computer doing patternmaking stuff all morning, then at the post office and then had lunch with my husband at a café. Then I went home and the sun was out and it was lovely (20 degrees C (68 F)) so I went to work in the garden.
I had planned to do some sewing later, but instead we made a bonfire to get rid of all the twigs and ended up cooking dinner on the bonfire.
last night, after a particularly annoying day at work, I did a little patternmaking therapy and wig experimentation.
I came up with a decent pattern for a t-shirt, socks, and this little ruffle dress.
The wig is more "hacked" than "made" but it came out nice and snug, so I will probably do a tutorial in the future. it is really hard to find nice 3/4 wigs that are not too poofy.
She's wearing mame's shoes (made by Min Lee) which are too big for her but are the best I have at the moment. Plus she seems to really like sparkly things.
She'll get her face this weekend! Yay!
