The Nancy Drew Project

I've been working on turning a Midge doll into Nancy Drew. 


I started out by giving her a haircut and knitting her a silk and cotton dress. I had to combining three vintage patterns to get the look that I wanted and I'm pleased with the result. I also made her some suede gloves (the tiniest I've ever made) and some glass pearl earrings and a matching necklace. Now she needs a flashlight, magnifying glass, and perhaps a pair of binoculars.




The Angora Bros are Back...

...and I've made them little papers so they can read up on current events and 
amuse themselves looking at the ads. 




They are fond of taking selfies. 


Olivia Bear

This is Olivia 


She's a little velvet bear with leather paws and is my first hand stitched bear. Here, she's wearing an alpaca sweater and a pair of purchased boots. 


I've put together several little outfits for her over the years. Here is her sailor suit,


Her plaid dress and velvet sash.


And last but not least, her party dress made from a vintage silk scarf.
