Felicity's Winter Outfit

see more of Felicity's outfits on my Etsy Shop  www.etsy.com/shop/prairiewindgirls

I fell in love with this cape pattern, and couldn't wait to make Felicity's Winter outfit out of it!!!!  Then I found this very soft red velvet, and knew I had to do it....This is called a Cardinal Cape, not for the cardinal red color....but because it is similar to the cape that Roman Catholic Cardinals in the 1700's wore, and still wear!  It is a full cape with a beautiful gathered hood, made of red velvet, and lined in red satin.  It closes at the neck with 2 gold buttons.  Then to keep her hands warm, she has white leather mitts, embroidered in red, and a white satin muff, embroidered in blue.  One very stylish colonial girl!!!!  I used a pattern I found on Liberty Jane, called Ivy Cape, by Melodie Valerie. 

Samantha is Having a Fun Winter Vacation!!!!

Finally finished up Smanthas's Hat, Muff and skates to go with her winter cape....she is all set to go skating on the Victorian pond....a proper Victorian Girl....

Lovin' Downton Abbey

Those of you that know me and Steven....know that we LOVE Downton Abbey...we are waiting with baited breath....for the next season to start....I particularly love the fashion....(well, I guess I would!?!?) So, have been thinking of doing a line of clothing in the Downton Abbey fashion.  American girl has the Victorian girls fashion covered...and I am replicating that in Samantha's, Nellie's, and Rebecca's outfits, but Adult Victorian Fashion is so much different....so I have decided to start a line called The Abbey Collection....Steven loves the idea...as he still hasn't quite figured out my Steampunk Collection!!!!  So what do you all think...Stay tuned, as I start collecting for the first outfit!!!! 

Kirsten's Winter Outfit

See more of Kirsten's outfits on my Etsy Shop  www.etsy.com/shop/prairiewindgirls

Kristen’s winter outfit was inspired by a festival costume from the “old country.” The white blouse has full peasant sleeves and a button at the the neckline. Momma, made sure Kirsten had a heavy wool skirt to keep warm, and it has a beautiful braid woven in a pattern at the waist and bands of red and green at the hem. Two hair ribbons woven in bright colors add an enchanting touch.I am almost done all of the 6 start-up Outfits and Accessories for Kirsten....I'm thinkin' some furniture may be in order!!!! 

Quilt Time

I was looking for a good quilt to do for Kaya....As American Girl from 1764, Kaya would not have had anything like this quilt, but, when she's being a modern day girl, I think she would love this quilt. The pattern is Morning Star....and it is a quilt used in the Underground Railroad....to let run-away slaves know where safe houses were. I love the bright colors, and I'm sure Kaya does too.

 As I was working on this...I realized...I totally forgot to post a pic of Kit's quilt.....I was looking for quilts made in the 1930's so that I could do one for Kit. I came across this pieced block that was published in the Chicago Tribune in 1933. The simple Cross Country blocks are set "on point", and in the full quilt, form a basic Irish Chain. The colors are unusual but go together well!
