Easter dresses


Here are the dresses I made for my DGD and her 18 inch doll for Easter.

I used Butterick B6201 and made the drop waist version of the pattern.


                          This close up of the fabric shows the actual colour of the fabric better than the
                                                      dresses does. Its a light green.


Although DGD got lots of clothes for her 18 inch doll for Christmas I could not help but make her doll another matching Easter dress.

Easter gift bags, boxes and tags




              These are the gift tags that will go on the matching 
gift bags posted right below.




              Below is some little gift boxes filled with some chocolates and one of the bag toppers.
             The bag is covered with little colour dots so I thought it would be best to keep the topper        
              simple.



One of our daughter loves unicorns and so when we came across this rubber duck we picked it up for her. We decided to give it to her for Easter. It is sitting in the gift box I made for it. The box closed up can be seen in the picture right below it.




The cardstock for the box above is pink and gold.

The gift tags on the little boxes came from glenda-jsworld.blogspot.com. I found them while looking at another tag on pinterest  but forgot to save so I can't say what the date of the blog was for them.

The tag on the box for the rubber duck came from shabbyartboutique.com March 21, 2016

The bunny on the gift bags came from findinghomefarms.com 03/07/2017

The stamps used for the bag toppers and on the bag tags came from Feb 2019 make special cards magazine. 

The die used on the bag tags is from spellbinder.








Easter banner



I made myself a Easter banner to put across my mirror by the front door. I used med purple yardstick for the backing and two different shades of pink paper although the one doesn't look pink. Than a rose print paper for the circle.
And finally for the letters I used a lighter purple cardstock. After cutting them out and glueing them to the banner I took a metallic purple colouring pencil to the outer edge of the letters to outline them and make them a little darker.
Right now the banner is attached to some pink yarn but will stitch it out with some pink cotton yarn once I get a dishcloth made.
