I didn't have the time or the funds to make myself a Nancy inspired vintage outfit so instead I made one for someone else...
Inspired by the first Nancy Drew book, The Secret of the Old Clock, (which someone returned to the library, oh well) and this lovely vintage suit pattern I made a new outfit for my dolly Paige.
I used muslin for the little blouse and a linen/cotton blend from Jo-Ann's for the skirt and jacket. I used patterns from the book The Doll's Dressmaker by Venus A. Dodge for the blouse and jacket though I altered them quite a bit. I did not use a pattern for the skirt.
Hopefully I will see you all tomorrow!
