It has certainly been established that i'm a big fan of Parisian tea salons and pastry shops. One day, i hope to enjoy a magical afternoon at these shops Ladurée Paris and Antoinette Singapore.
It makes me really happy to say that i finished my first 2012 sewing project. It has been quite a while since i made something new, so i'm pretty pleased with this new apron. Don't get me wrong, it has a few flaws, but i really love those parts. It fits well and i think it's super comfortable.
My bakery french maid uniform is inspired by this manga series ~ i had a little trouble with the inset due to my rusty sewing skills. Either way, the apron is done and the whole french maid uniform just falls nicely together, which feels really good. I'm really happy with how it turned out.
This maid uniform will be on it's way to a sweet talented friend, Pei Li, once i'm done with a few final touch ups. I think her Ruki (Lati doll) will look great in it.
My little one had such fun modeling this piece with her new little bakery toys. I will be adding more assorted breads, desserts, cakes and french macarons to her little English Tea Cart collection. I'm sure she will be very pleased.
Happy Tuesday.
Happy sweetest month of the year, February.
Love to you and yours...always.

C'est tres, tres magnifique, Jacqueline! ;o) The adorableness factor here is HUGE, my friend!! Such, perfect, tiny sewing for such a perfect, tiny doll. She has the sweetest face. Thanks so much for the painting love at my place. Of all I'm doing these days (probably too much--LOL!), the painting is really calling me. Happy Week, my friend ((LOVE & HUGS))

Dear Jaqueline your new creations for your sweet little doll are so adorable! I would never have the patience for such sewing project with so many tiny little stitches!
Yes, it's terribly cold here in Munich so I try to wear my warmest clothes, drink a lot of tea and often simply prefer to stay at home :-)
Love to you
Bea
