Black Friday Dress for Thankful

The dress fabric is some sort of vintage cotton that I found at a doll show several years ago.  It's been waiting to be worn by Thankful.

For Christmas, I am going to sew her a pelisse from a design that was recently in "Antique Doll Collector" magazine.

Thankful

Since she was completed on Thanksgiving, her name is Thankful.

Thankful's first Thanksgiving is warm and sunny.

She is contemplating her dress.

She is made from Dixie Redmond's Izannah Walker pattern, enlarged to 150%.  Tomorrow, I will spend Black Friday sewing her a dress instead of shopping.  I am thankful that I don't have to leave the house tomorrow!
