1930's Outfit Completed

 It is time to post again. I am finished the 1930's outfit and am excited to show it to you.

This outfit took longer than I had anticipated due to yard work and not feeling well. I see the doctor on Saturday to see if I need a medication change. 

This outfit had its challenges. I had .5 meter of each fabric and wanted to make an outfit. The yellow bee fabric sold out and the black honey comb fabric was available. I ended up with just a piece of the black fabric which is not large enough for anything. 

The trim on the hat presented problems as mentioned in the last post. I had to move it more towards the back and play with the placement. It took quite a bit of time to get it where I wanted it to be. I am now happy with the results. 

The shoes had me laughing my head off. The first cut of them on the Cricut had them tiny. I don't know where I went wrong on sizing them but I did size them wrong. I knew the shoes had to be in black when I discovered that as I didn't have any pieces big enough to line them in the yellow fabric. 

The wristlet is tiny but ever so cute. It was hard to handle when hand sewing the opening together and adding a snap and button. But so worth the fiddling to get it done. 

I know I will be using the patterns again in different outfits. They are all great patterns. 

I have decided to make a modern summer outfit next. My inspiration is from this picture I found on Pinterest. 

I need to dig in the doll's stash to find the fabrics. I may even make a purse to go with this outfit and will be making a pair of shoes. Maybe my challenge will be sewing the shoes and purse in silver leather.
