Temporary photo just because I’m so incredibly in love with these overalls.
Medium weight linen, tons of embroidery, running stitch, pleats, patch pocket, hand made button loops and leather straps. Somehow those words are not enough to describe this.

I adore making tiny clothes. Tomorrow I will post a proper photo of Octavia Rose wearing them. #figandme #dollclothing

In today’s newsletter we announced this little beauty, doesn’t she look oh! so comfy amongst the double-gauze, the cashmere and that gathered tulle?

Once I covered her wooly head with the cotton fabric, and once I #sculpted her lips, I just couldn’t wait to make her a big #fabricrose for her headband. I giggled thinking of my messed up priorities, making accessories before putting her all together but sometimes that’s just how it goes.

A day or two spent assembling her and then it’s wardrobe-making-time! I can’t wait to start sewing her clothes, definitely having way too much fun with this pink bonanza!
Are you a super pink person? I like it but I regularly use it here or there. I seem to have lost all pink self-control and letting my pink freak come out. It’s all pink or nothing for her. Octavia Rose knows what she wants. #figandme #workinprocess #figandmestudio

I try to stay strong in my commitment to always have a doll in process when the time comes to say goodbye to another. Having an empty studio is both terrifying and sad to me.

Luckily, this time I succeeded. Octavia Rose is in the works which means I can finally let Bernadette go. It makes me sad to no longer have her with me, we shared so much, but I know she will make her Mom happy.
Today on the blog: reminiscing with Bernadette. Thank you for reading. #figandme #storytellingwithdolls #knittingismylovelanguage
