Keely as Anne of Greene Gables

We had a great weekend with the kids and I got to see Keely in her Anne of Green Gables outfit.  It fits great.

And here is the finished dress with the pinafore - and the bow buttons.  To go with this outfit, I am including spats (to make high button boots), an amethyst brooch, a hat, the set of books, a carpet bag, and a doll!  Can't wait for her to open it all.

Woo Hoo!  Finished the 3 bonnets.  They were puzzling but turned out great.

Finally finished the dress to go with the pinafore.

 I hope it isn't too long1  I have such a hard time with buttonholes.  I found out I could order an attachement for my machine and did that.  the Anne outfit is for Keely's 8th birthday.  Also I ordered her a gondolier hat, green ribbon to replace the red, an amethyst brooch, and spats to wear with black shoes.  I'll give her a carpet bag too!  The entire set of books is part of the gift and will be wrapped tonight.

Finally I finished Keely's pinafore for her Anne of Green Gables outfit (a surprise birthday gift).  Now am making the dress to go under it (backwards, as usual).  I ordered the skimmer hat to be sent to her.

I got my sweet Keely to pose in her new outfit I made her.  She is so lovely and just recovering from pneumonia!

I made grandson Riley a toucan hood.  It was a lot harder than I thought but I think it turned out well.  My sewing machine does not like sewing on foam!  I did get pics.  Can't wait to see it on him tomorrow.

I made Keely an entire Little House on the Prairie costume and took it to her last week.  Maybe I can get a photo of her in it.

I got photos of both kids in it - looks much cuter on1  I hope they enjoy it.
