A New Waistcoat

 Mini Jamie got a package from Period Threads today containing 2 new waistcoats! Poor guy...........All I had for him was a black one. I thought it was about time he got a change of clothes (or waistcoats anyway).

I've loved the pattern of this silk fabric since I first saw pictures of it in Robyn's fabric stash. The pattern is pretty perfect in size for the smaller dolls, which is not an easy feat.

Next up on the clothing wishlist I think will be a pair of black fall front breeches. I'd love to get him a jacket too. This beautiful new waistcoat is certainly a wonderful addition to the wardrobe though!

An Older Mr. Fraser

I asked Chewin to make a queued wig for my mini Jamie back in the spring. I wanted to give him an older look more reminiscent of season 5 in the show. Due to all the parcel travel issues it was a while before Chewin was even able to mail it out of Thailand, and then once he did mail it it took quite a while to catch a flight. After 2 months and a few days, my package finally arrived today!!

I have to say it was worth the wait! It really does give Jamie a much older look than his curly wig (based on his look from the first season, shown on him in previous blog installments)

In the photos taken in the shade, the color looks more brown.

But in this profile photo, taken in sun, you can see the rich auburn color........just gorgeous, and perfect! I couldn't be more pleased. Now I'm going to work on getting a few more clothing pieces for him.

Some blue for Bree

I got a new package in the mail from my friend Robyn. She made a few skirts and vests for Bree. LOVE this blue on her. It really makes her eyes pop.

Robyn tweaked the vest pattern too to give a bit nicer fit at the waist. It turned out really lovely!
