    Lovely Hmo, the clothes look really pretty, nice fabric you have used. Did you make up the pattern all yourself?

    No it's a book I've had a few years and never used I made the first one in pink about 6 weeks ago to go in my daughters newly decorated room, it's about six pages back details are on my blog.

    I fancied having another go, it's made from calico and I used some left over cotton I did the apron in recently.

    I found the hat template on the net so added that to this one.

    I think I will keep this one she is sat in my kitchen cabinet at the moment
