      inset lower right is the back of the jumpsuit.

      Composite:
      [​IMG]
      Upper left is the pile of rejected wigs. Reasons: Magenta - "not curly enough"; Green - "can't see my headband"; Orange - "my gym bag is orange"; Blue - "my warmup jacket is blue". So we went with the red. I should have made a black one. She wouldn't wear her white wig since the outfit didn't have any white in it (what looks like white in some shots is actually lime green).
      Upper right is the yarn and crochet hook (steel 12) used to make the gym bag.
      Lower left is the yarn and needles (000) that I used to make the jacket.
      Both yarns are 75% angora/25% silk. I had to hide both pieces from my cat.
      EDIT: Yarns are 75% alpaca/25% silk. Duh!
      Lower right shows all the accessory pieces that went into this set. She stole the shoes from my Ginny doll.

      Glamour shot:
      [​IMG]
      She surprised me by actually trying to do some exercises! I hope it was all right to do it as landscape. Trying to make it portrait lost a lot of detail.

      Extra:
      [​IMG]
      Unfortunately the exercising didn't last very long. She decided a nice long rest in her lounge chair with a few bottles of wine were more the order of the day.

      I hope you like - I had fun doing this one. It isn't often that I put this much detail into an outfit, especially this size.
      The colors are way off in some of the shots and the red wig didn't want to photograph well at all - I even switched cameras, but it didn't help.

    21. So quick question just because Miss Emily brought up a good point. For the workout or jogging outfit..do you mean specifically like working out Yoga, weights etc...or in Miss Emily's case if she is a trapeze artist would what ever outfit the doll uses to workout or practice in would that be acceptable? though I assume most workout or pratice outfits would be similar regardless of what you do to workout?

    30. I'm ahead of schedule too, but Barb is undecided about her wig. She has four more choices for me to get for her. Sigh!
      The basic suit is done, all hand-stitched, but there is a list of accessories that have to be made and gathered. Some I have finished and others are still in the planning stage.

      [​IMG]

      She's in the mockup - the actual suit is on the bottom left, corrections made, already cut out. The pattern is upper right. The thread she is sitting on is silk, the only color I own but perfect for this outfit. And this has to be one of the cheapest outfits I've ever done. The print is actually a stretch book cover I paid two dollars for at Staples and the green is the neck ribbing and facing piece off of a lightweight knit sweatshirt I got for a dollar last year. The rest of the shirt has made leotards, sweaters, and slacks for various sized dolls, and I still have lots left for more things.

    56. LadyFeather ~ I actually like the red wig the best. The white kind of washes her out?

    57. LadyFeather: so darned cute! Only thing that might possibly just send it over the moon rather than out of the ballpark would be cutting the fabric so she had a nice big peace sign on her other round little rump! :D Adorable.

      PoeticSoul: Cute and imaginative. Love that little skirt.

    58. I'm afraid I'll have to drop out, even with an extension I still won't have time to finish :( I've just been way too busy...
