A Work in Progress

 Just a work in progress for Work in Progress Wednesday. I liked the first photo, showing how all the clothes are made first to dress, in this instance a gentleman fox. You can see my trusty Bernina Record in the background. Made in 1964, it is two years older than me! I have three of these and would not be without them.

This gentleman will have a gingham shirt with navy plus fours in a Japanese yarn dye fabric for a tweedy look. An orange silk cravat and a lined Liberty tana lawn and felt waistcoat. His boots are navy leather with his sturdy foraging bag felt and leather with a buckle.
This one of my favourite patterns, a six piece pattern so quite fiddly. I especially love his tail peeping out of his trousers!
As you can see his arms are made separately with frilled cuffs as all mt dolls are button jointed, a style I really like,
