This new two-piece ensemble is handmade, and stitched in leather. The vest back is black snakeskin, and the front and side gussets are brown suede. The vest has a chain closure, a la steam-punk, there is a metal fleur-de-lis charm hanging from the chain. The handbag is tan leather with black leather side gussets, and a flap closure. Check them out at the shop Craftique Redux!
Sometimes you've just got to 'make it yourself', because what you'll find on the shelf is not to your taste, or you have an idea for a unique creation. Here's a pattern to create a tiny leather doll purse; you can substitute vinyl if you prefer. The pattern is available at the Craftique Redux shop in the Etsy online marketplace, as an instant PDF download.
Despite the fact that I have to wear magnifiers (just to ensure I don't split a stitch), I really do enjoy knitting these tiny dresses for dolls. Working with Size 1 and Size 0 knitting needles is a bit easier than I thought it would be; I thought it would be like knitting with two pieces of wire, and uncomfortable.
