Basic Long Knitted Sweater

Hello, doll friends!

Mama has been very busy over the past weeks to add to our wardrobe for the colder months, and she knitted several sweaters and tops for us. The one I want to show you today is a basic long sweater, which you can make in any color or color combination imaginable.

* You can find the link to the pattern and pdf file at the end of this entry *

Let's check out some pictures:


Isn't this beautiful? And the best part about it: it's in our favorite colors



Here is a view of the back with the button closure

Photo Shoot With The Gorgeous Josefina

Hello, everyone!

This is my first time posting in this blog since my arrival at home last month. Maria wanted to do a photo shoot with me, and I simply couldn't tell her no 😊

The first three pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago already, after I changed out of my meet dress into modern clothes. You can see my hair was still in its original braid at that time:







The rest of the pictures were taken today. We thought the styling chair would make a fun prop. I'm wearing a new top Mama made. She will have a pattern up for it soon 😉











Here I pulled little sister Luciana into the picture with me, who is also wearing a new sweater Mama recently made. A pattern for this one will be coming soon as well.

By the way, did you know I'm the oldest of all of us?

Until next time!

❤ Josefina

Knitted & Crochet Flamenco Dress

Hello, doll friends!

I'm back today with another of Mama's creations. We dolly girls think that she outdid herself with this one because she made us a Flamenco dress! We absolutely love it! Mama said it looks a lot harder to make than it actually is, and that anyone who can can knit and crochet can make this dress without any problems.

Let's see our beautiful sister Luciana modeling it for us:



This is what it looks like from the front....



....as well as from the back. It simply closes with two buttons

And in the following pictures we will see Luciana showing a few dance poses:

Knitted Star-Shaped Christmas Tree Skirt

Hello everyone!

Christmas and the holiday season have been over for more than a month, but I didn't want to wait all year to show you the tree skirt Mama made for our beautiful pink tree.

* You can find the link to the pattern and pdf file at the end of this entry *

Take a look at it:


This is what it looks like when the tree skirt is around the base of the tree



And here we have the tree skirt by itself. I forgot to block it before taking the picture 😞


This tree skirt was made to fit spaciously around a 2 foot tall Christmas tree. It measures 22 3/4 inches across from one point to the point on the opposite side.
