Thought it would be fun to make Josephine and her doll dresses for her birthday. The doll made it there in time, the dresses were a bit late 😦

Used a pattern called “Easy Peazy Pleats” by Olive Ann Designs.
The base fabric (cotton/hemp blend) was dyed with kamala, then overdyed with madder. I used mainly used guava leaves with some flowers in the ‘circles’ (the flowers did NOT turn out well) for the eco prints.
Originally I was going to stamp some bees on it too, with earth pigments….but ran out of time. So will save that idea for some bandanas I want to make.

Hi Beth!!
Thanks! I think Jo is precious too 🙂
I truly admire your skills and aesthetic–and matching leggings no less than i’d expect from you 🙂
Thank you Arlee!
Can’t take credit for the leggings matching, Lilly did that!
they are so perfect, Jullie… i just saw something online that speaks to your weaving supplies
how can i share a photo with you? or maybe i don’t need to… it involves yarn wrapped walking sticks… so cool and colorful
I would love to see them! My e-mail address is jschubertdesigns@gmail.com …..perhaps you could send me a link?
Just gorgeous color and prints.
