Orla and Owen, A Sweet Pair of Gentlemice

 

Wanting to make another matching pair, I went ahead and made Orla in the reverse of the fabrics I used to make Owen.
Orla has Owen's waistcoat has her skirt and his knickerbockers as her waistcoat giving her a pretty checked full skirt with tonal underskirts in cotton and lace.
Both have matching sampler sachets and scarves in forest green dupion silk from remnants. Tiny buttons, tiny leather ears and tail with little leather shoes finish their outfits. Each an exercise in the subtle tones of sage green, natural linen and forest green silk. 
I have thoroughly enjoyed all my mice and will return to them later in the year for now it is time to make bunnies with a new pattern for Summer.
