The Story Of This Outfit
I thought I might share the inspiration for this sewing project and the story I wrote to go with it. Some of you might remember that over the summer, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. About a week ago I completed my treatment (yay!) and am starting to return to my old self. Along the way I had been sent a package in the mail from a support group with a handmade bag. I was cranky about the kind gesture because the box clearly indicated my diagnosis which I hadn’t shared with anyone. I almost dumped the whole thing in the trash until I noticed that the bag was made of vintage 1980’s fabric and the inside…well the inside was a perfect match for Sari’s dress! I squirreled it away for a time when I was less frightened and cranky. That time was this weekend.
I thought I might reproduce some Saris but after I took apart the bag and saw how much fabric I had, I thought I might be able to make a dress for Kirsten. Wait no, I could make a whole dress like your doll outfit for Kirsten! So, I found some additional vintage 80's fabric online for the boots and shawl and went to work.
I used Flossie Potters 1800's Simple Stitches pattern, which I love, for the dress and designed my own apron and shawl. But the boots, what to do about the boots? I remembered that a while back I'd gotten a big lot of Kirsten items with handmade grey felt boots. I found them and they were perfect. I just had to totally dismantle them. I used the deconstructed felt pieces as my pattern, pinned them to the cotton which I'd applied fusible interfacing to and cut them out. I'll probably make a pattern and upload it here for everyone to use because it worked really well all things considered.
The story just kind of tumbled out of me so I figured I'd put it alongside the photos. My holy grail Kirsten really is my muse.

Finally finished patching up these old thrifted jeans! This is some fabric my mom gifted me. The local shop that sells these fat quarters claims they're from depression era flour sacks! No way to be sure but the colors and little vehicles on them are so cute.
