Ciao, le belle signore!! I am soooooo happy to introduce Ms Autumn! the fourth and final doll in my little set of four seasonal girlies…
I’m rather rapt with this young lady… her colour scheme is fab – u – lous!!! and very much right up my alley. Well, I suppose since I identify as an autumn girl myself, so yeah! This rich warm collection of tomato red, gold, rusty orange, teal blue, forest green is totally one I would choose for myself… well haha, obviously I’ve chosen all the girl’s colour schemes myself, but well you know what I mean! I’ve so much enjoyed choosing all the girl’s colours to co-ordinate nicely and I thoroughly loved choosing this one too
Like her friends, Ms Autumn has a range of clothes to choose from, so she is ready and prepared for ANY situation:
a winter ensemble with leggings, a tunic dress and knitted beanie… I gave her a kangaroo pocket on her tunic! because it’s rather lovely to have a warm kangaroo pocket you can stow your hands in to keep them warm in winter…
… little lace knickers, embroidered with a tiny, rich orange-y red rosebud…
a twirly summer dress… I only had the tiniest portion of this gorgeous rusty orange/gold print, and was so glad I managed to squeeze the little dress from out of it, because I think it’s just absolutely perfect for her!
… a sequinned cocktail dress, naturally in bright sunshine-y gold! This particular fabric is a little sheer so I lined it with cream coloured jersey knit. Well, modesty is a virtue, si?
Want to hear something a bit funny… ? I think my favourite favourite thing about her entiiiiiire ensemble is actually this little necklace?!
Up until now I’ve ade the girls’ necklaces using a simple, single loop of wire. I had some gold wire for Ms Autumn, but frustratingly it was just a little too flimsy to use by itself. This stumped me for a little bit… should I use one of the other coloured wires I had? but I really had my heart set on gold. Finally I thought about making a twisted gold necklace. It took me a few attempts of painstakingly careful twisting to get the twist nice and even all the way along! but finally I had a necklace I was satisfied with. The little catch closure was little tricky, but I’m in love with how it worked out in the end! Though I thought the little necklace was pretty cute by itself, it looked just a touch spare without a pendant, so I decided at the last minute to add a gold-apricot pearl to nestle against her décolletage…
She also a zippered forest green duffle bag, which is roomy enough to store all her things, should she wish to go off for a weekend trip, or something, and need all her stuff.
… and her dust bag, in a deep raspberry shade which also goes quite nicely with all her things, imo
peekaboo!
Ms Autumn is available for purchase here in our shop right now…
My friend Meggipeg asked me recently… isn’t it hard to part with “my” girls? and yes, it’s little bit scary! but it really does make me truly happy to think they are going to homes where they can be played with; and Ms Autumn may be the last in this set, however I’m still enjoying myself so I haven’t ruled out making more? hmmm, I’ll see how I go, got so much on my plate at the mo…!
Also I guess it’s probably pretty obvious by now; all the girls, Ms’ Winter, Spring, Summer, and Ms Autumn here too, and all their wardrobes are of course made with the same patterns, one that Cassie and I have been working hard at developing as a new pattern to put in our shop! It’s going to be available very very soon… stay tuned!
I LOVE these dolls. They are so amazing!
thank you Andrea! 🙂
These dolls are so charming! I’m sure you knitted that little hat, too. I love that you’ll be doing a pattern out of this. Maybe one of these days I’ll know a little girl to sew it for!
thank you Becky! yes, I knitted the little hat too 🙂
I love these dolls. You have done amazing work on them. So clever, artistic, and well done. But…don’t they need a Clara?
hehe, I think you’re right, Jean! Maybe a Clara would be a nice idea some day 🙂
Her wardrobe could be mine ! The colors and this type of printed fabric are what I usually go to. My favorite piece is the mustard hat. Yummy !
thank you Sizun! Yes, I rather fancy a mustard beanie now too! 🙂
She is gorgeous, as her friends are. Congratulations! I love these autumn shades too, teal is my favorite color.
thank you very much miss agnes! 🙂
Another absolutely amazing young lady! Your dolls bring about a magical nostalgia within, as one wonders and admires their creation and your amazing attention to detail. Love her! 🙂
thank you so much Lisa! that’s such lovely kind thing to say 🙂
These dolls are so much fun! Can we have a fashion show?
thank you Sam! I did a new post with all the girls in it together; I hope you enjoy it! 🙂
