Downton Abbey/Mr. Selfridge meet Ethnic Embroidery


It started with the piece of green wool I bought at the Hen and Chicks Studio. Anyone who has ever seen my stash knows the last thing in the world I need is another piece of wool.
Then I embroidered the jacket. The suit started with  pink drawers and a  gathered rusty blue skirt. Mmmmm....it didn't work.


So I decided she needed a spring in her step, a cute cloche hat,
and a walking skirt.
