Blythe and Strawberry Shortcake


Clair (my Blythe doll) looks a bit peevish, as though she was a big sister made to dress like a little sister; well, guess what?
In this case, the Blythe sweater was made first, then modified for Strawberry Shortcake.
The sweaters have back snap closures. Strawberry's sweater has minimal shaping, but I gave quite a bit of waist and neckline shaping to Blythe's sweater. The yarn is a "bamboo from rayon" blended with wool and nylon... maybe it's a bamboo yarn, and maybe it isn't, but it's lovely to work with, and soft with a sheen.
The skirts are rayon; elastic waist with pink tulle underskirts attached; rickrack trim at the hem.
I'm not going to post the sweater pattern as I am not totally satisfied... it needs a bit of rework which I will save for another day.
