I was so pleased with my first attempt at a miniature apron. It's only about six inches long. New fabric just wouldn't do for such an old dolly. I was fortunate to have just the right vintage linen in my stash and was able to craft an apron that I felt she would be comfortable in. I think it suits her well, don't you?
She looks so pleased with her new yarn hair and fresh old apron. I sure hope she resembles the doll that my friend remembers as a child. Tomorrow she will be ever so carefully packaged and sent on her way to Mississippi. I wish I could be there when the packaged is opened!
I still have a few more unfinished projects to complete before I let myself begin a new one, but I can't help thinking how pretty a little kitchen Christmas tree would look covered in miniature aprons??? I hope I can make myself wait to begin.
Stay cozy & warm,
Lea

Hi Lea
Nice job on the apron. I think minature anything is cute. The apron looks great on the restord doll. You did a wonderful job. I'm sure your friend will be pleased.
What a great idea for a tree. I see one in youe future. I always take this time of year to rearrage and complete projects. However I'm not as diligent to not start something new.
Good hearing from you. I missed your posts.
