Lots of pictures this time. First of all, a little wrapover dress to please a little girl who is learning to recognise numerals. It is Tana lawn which I have been saving just for this time. I think she will love it.

 Now we come to the project that has been keeping me innocently occupied for some time.  I didn't go into the shop to get a pattern but just hought I would look - when I saw it , I knew I had to get it. That was a superb wedding dress, and I so wanted to find out how that train was made!  It has been great fun tracking down the bits and bobs needed to make it right, and in scale.
 The doll is one I found a few years ago. They were a series called "Get Real Girls" - made in America and deliberately made as an antidote to Barbie, with natural looking faces and figures and flat feet to fit into climbing boots and swimming flippers and the like. Sadly, I can't find any indication that they are being made any more, so the ones I have got squirrelled away are doubly precious.
