Today is day 1 of the Wicked blog hop. Thanks to Carol from Just let me quilt for organising the hop.
I had an idea in my mind about the project I wanted to make, but I wasn't sure how to make it. My brain would decide 'yes' this is the project and then the next day I would change my mind. Then two weeks ago I was talking to one of my neighbours who has a little girl of 6 (or could be 7) . She was telling me that her daughter and friends wanted to have a Halloween party for themselves and their favourite dolls. I thought that sounded like fun. A few days later I met my neighbour and her daughter. The daughter had her Luna Lapin toy rabbit and she asked me if I'd make her toy a witches black dress. Of course I said yes.
I used the pattern from the Luna Lapin book. This makes a smock style dress with pockets. It was a little fiddly to make and I was able to try it on the Luna Lapin I made for myself. I still need to embroider the face on my rabbit. I added some black velvet ribbon for a scarf but I want to add some fringing to it. I also made a witches hat from some black card stock. Thank goodness for double sided tape. Finally I made a Halloween doll quilt in black and white with a lot of skulls on it.
Now you need to go and visits the other people sharing what they have made today. Here's the schedule.
I can't Wait to see what everyone has made.
Take care

Really cute witch's dress. I made one for my granddaughter's doll years ago. Then table topper is really cute also.
ReplyDeleteWhat a kind neighbor you are to make so many things for her doll. She and her doll will be the talk of the Halloween Party!
ReplyDeleteOh, my, the rabbit and witch's dress with the doll quilt are amazing! We all have our own ideas about how things should be, and it is neat your neighbor girl is letting you know exactly what she wants. Ha! I like that pumpkin table mat too--very seasonal! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour young customer knew just who to go to, to get the witch outfit of her dreams. I know she is going to be delighted with all the little extras you add to it. Love your table mat, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative little mind you have associated with for this amazing project. The witch outfit was great but adding that creepy quilt to the look is wonderful. My favorite part are the holes for the ears, just perfect.
ReplyDeleteYour little customer certainly knew what she wanted and you are just the nicest lady to meet her demands. The ears sticking out of the hat are so fun and it looks great! I need to make a Luna Lapin rabbit with a witch outfit for my granddaughter. She loves Halloween and she's only two (obviously, she takes after her grandmother.) The table topper is the perfect way to show off a black cat...cute! Thank you for always giving me a good dose of Halloween inspiration, Lyndsey! xo
ReplyDeleteI love how the little girl knew exactly what she wanted!
ReplyDeleteThe little rabbit-witch is wickedly adorable! It seems that you had fun making it to your customer's specifications. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour little witch is darling. I love how specific your “customer” is!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. Absolutely adorable.
ReplyDeleteAdorable, both of them! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute witch outfit! Love the ears poking out.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the doll and accessories. Love the table topper.
ReplyDeleteLove your witch!
ReplyDeleteToo cute.
ReplyDeleteLJ here. What a neat story you tell about your neighbor and her doll. Perfect idea. The hexie pumpkin was sweet and it's always good to have something to remind yourself of Picasso.
