frualeydisYesterday the mum for the dolls house arrived in package from Germany. The maker, Caco, is German and I got her from German eBay. As you can see her outfit is slightly 1930s. The clothes were, however, not that important, but I wanted a doll in the same style as the kids. And as the dad, but finiding him in a second hand shop was a real fluke, otherwise a dad would also have been ordered from Germany.
I removed her clothes carefully and then I made her a vest from my old panties, just like the dad doll's vest and longjohns. I have also hemmed and overstitched the raw edges on her original clothes and as soon as I have sewn a small snap button in them she can wear them again if she wants to.
Majken, that's her name, needed clothes more fitting for work, so I made her a house dress from printed cotton. It is very hard to find fabrics with small enough print, even if you look outside your own fabric stash. In the photo I have pinned a puff sleeves to the shoulder and sides. Since everythign is so small you must hem sleeves (and trousers) before attaching them to the body and you must also sew the sleeves to the main pieces before sewing the sides, which you sew from cuff to hem.
A few photos, where you also see some other new stuff, such as the milk pot and two new chairs that I ordered as a kit from Kotte Toys. Really easy to put together and they're just the right styl
Finally the whole family is gathered together. But now the kids need new clothes (especially Bengt, who doesn't have any trousers)
