So, I watched A&E's production of Jane Austen's "Emma" with my Mom recently, which I think we both enjoyed, and I totally fell in love with the yellow on yellow damask wallpaper in this room in their stately old manor house where Emma was always hanging out with her Dad, or entertaining friends. So I bought this pretty fabric that reminded me of it (looks a bit wrinkled in this pic, but, be assured, it is very pretty!)...
...and I just decided to try to make a dress out of it. I am a beginning sewer, and I've only made one thing so far that I actually wear regularly (a super simple, elastic waist, A-line skirt), but I'm going to give it a go! I really love yellow and gray together, so I made this fancy paper doll of myself wearing the dress as I envision it...
Wish me luck :)
Yes! Make me a paper doll of ME too!! Aw man, that's awesome...
ReplyDeletei don't think i've ever understood the concept of a paper doll until now! what a brillant idea! paper dolls of yourself to try on new projects, of course!!
