I couldn’t be happier with how Elizabeth’s Spencer turned out. She’s pretty thrilled with it too…
I modified the pattern…
…by leaving off the long tail and adding a short ruffled peplum starting at the side front and going around to the back. I like it this way very much.
The inside bodice is fully lined…the sleeves are not.
I used black snaps to close the front so it mimics the button side if the jacket is left open.
The best way to put the Spencer on your doll is to position both arms behind her and gently slide it on.
I only had a few scraps left…not nearly enough to make a bonnet…
But…my sister, Cindy, brought some straw bonnets the last time she came home and I wanted to use one, however they were slightly large on Elizabeth’s head. The brim was way too long…in my opinion.
I decided to take it apart, then redo it by stitching and gluing it together… for a much nicer look…
You can see the difference in their sizes below…
It will work now…I just have to get it embellished. That will give me something to work on today!!!
I hope you have a terrific Thursday!
See you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
