Carissima



Snatching a few minutes here and there, I’ve cooked up some fun items for Berry. Seeing that they were rather fun to make, I thought I’d cast my bread upon the water so to speak, and see if there is any outside interest in my products. As I make more little creations, the colors and fabrics will vary of course. 
Apron
$10
This colorful apron was made with on-hand fabrics and bits of rick rack. It is easy to put over the head with elastic in the strap. Berry’s sash is designed for fastening with a bow, but Velcro would be a happy option as well. Snickerdoodles sold separately.


Dolly Blanket
$10
This toasty warm doll quilt with miniature pillow is made from lovely soft micro fleece. They will keep your little girl’s babies from ever getting cold. Fun appliqués add a bit of personal character.


Dresses



$20

Having fallen in love with this pattern dating from 1974, I’ve tried a few variations on the theme already. This one piece dress with inverted ‘v’ bodice is one of the styles, especially charming coupled with cotton tights. I hope to expand my dress selection, using vintage patterns from the ‘50’s through the early ‘80’s and showing a tendency for the "Eloise Wilkin" look.
