Last night Susette sent me a picture from facebook of a young girl in the 1900’s. She was apparently on her way to school because she was carrying a chalkboard and some books. It looked like she had a leather backpack on her back and it appears to be a purse on one shoulder. It’s an intriguing picture for me.
You see, earlier in the evening I had set Nellie on my cutting table and thought it was time to do a dress for her. I was looking at fabrics when the email from Susette with the school girls picture came. Well, it just so happens Susette sent that picture to Linda and Marilyn. Marilyn responded to me and said, “Okay, Jeanne, it’s time to get to work on this one!” I guess I was up for the challenge because my mind started thinking of how I could make it when I could barely see how it was made in the first place. I guess this is where my imagination will come into play.
So I started on it and have the sleeves finished and a few other pieces cut out…I guess we’ll see if they work…
I suppose I should show you that picture…study it and see how you think it is put together…
Since it’s black and white, and we have no idea what the actual color of the dress was, I had to just use something in my stash that would drape well and be lightweight for the tucks in the bodice. I would like to have used a pretty light blue, but this will do I think. I’ll try to make it pretty! :o)
Here are the sleeves so far… I know they look kind of big and balloon like, but they aren’t sewn in yet…they also look like they have some kind of tiny print for the cuff…so I added what I thought looked right…
Well, that’s it for today… I’ll try to do some more on the dress today…
See you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
