Emma has clothes...

...They are kinda tatty...supposed to be.  But, they do the job.  There was choosing....then cutting...then... hesitating...then.... finally after watching the tutorial a few more times because I had to make sure which side I put the waist band on for about the third time.. (Maggi ...stop laughing over there !!) ..  I had plenty of fabric.  What difference would it really make if I screwed it up? ...but, that's me with sewing...I hesitated still.














Finally ..got a skirt made.  Coffee dyed it.   I don't think you can really tell..but, there is plenty of colour and some crease stains..etc.  Smells great too...I added some vanilla. She smells good enough to eat. 





























Ta Da !!


















At first I was afraid to do any distressing or put on any staining colours...but, I left off the finishing varnish...because somehow I knew I might have to make it a bit darker still.  She is in dim light here to show how it looks...but, in the real light daytime..it might not be enough colour yet.  Funny how it goes....



















So, little lady.... been through some rough times 'av ya?



















Never mind....yer among friends now....

Thanks boys....  it's good to find new friends....
