wool-blend plaid ftw....

Christmas clothes, with a country bent if you will.
I do love yarn-dyed plaid -- P chose this one from my stash for a shirt for the Christmas show, Christmas in the Country. He had two lines so of course I wanted to make sure he looked presentable...
Sketchbook  (Oliver + s), suspenders, and wool blend pants from the year before.
I'd fully planned to use another pattern for K's dress, but it was nearing dawn and my eyes fell on the Little Lisette pattern i'd gotten at a discount.  So rayon velvet in a great red, and just enough left of the wool blend plaid for a gathered skirt.... 
A little fancy stitching for the neckline instead of a pierrot collar and along the snap back, along with the belt from those long-ago costumes and her new jangly boots, and we have two "country" outfits that match.
