...1.27...Friday Update...Pocohontas...

...this was one of the Barbies that I'd gotten in that $1 bag of nekkid Barbies...and she's a Pocohontas princess doll...I washed and combed out her long long black hair...you can see her in the first post about the Barbies...

...so I looked up some images of her...and knew that I needed some tan coloured ultrasuede for her dress...so what do you think the universe gave me...right...a really odd tan ultrasuede purse...with royal blue straps...not exactly sure who wanted this or why...but I snatched it right up...

...took off the straps and removed the zipper...put those in my stash...I may need them later...haha...

...put the nice clean Pocohontas on a plain piece of paper...and traced a little pattern...

...then pinned that to the ultrasuede...and cut it out...a little two piece dress pattern...really really simple...

...and then her ultrasuede buckskin dress needed a fringe so I just crocheted a chain of loops...and cut the loops...long for now...I'll trim them in a bit...

...and stitched those to the top and bottom of the dress...

...and then trimmed the fringe to match the image of the original doll...

...and added a little belt...

...I'm really tickled with this simple and quick princess project...the thing that took the longest was combing out her hair...haha...

~Have a lovely day!
