desertdollranch:Felicity’s best friend, Elizabeth, was waiting for her at the pasture behind the Wythes’ stable. They often met there before lessons to visit the mare and her new colt. When she saw Felicity, Elizabeth smiled. “Oh, good. Here you are, Lissie,” she said. “Do whistle and make the horses come to us.”Felicity whistled. The mare trotted toward her, and the colt followed behind like a little, shy shadow. Elizabeth and Felicity pulled up handful after handful of sweet spring grass and fed it to the horses.Elizabeth is wearing her new summer dress that I made for her this week. I used Flossie Potter’s Betsy Ross Shop Dress pattern with some modification of the sleeves. Instead of buttons down the placket of the bodice, I applied lace and wove some white embroidery thread in a lace-up pattern. I made her straw hat, too, to match Felicity’s. It’s a placemat that I took apart, painted, and sewed on some pretty Rococo-patterned twill tape. Underneath she’s wearing Pemberley Thread’s Antoinette Stays. -- source link
