Petra’s Christmassy shirt got some longer sleeves this morning: And I’m in the process of figuring out how I want these aprons for Fierro’s to come together: I also want to make Hazel a Christmassy shirt or dress, and Sarah and her friends want to decorate the stores for the season. However, it’s been raining…… Continue reading Project Roundup

Summer Skirt
Summer has decided to arrive in my area, and as such, summery clothes are required! Petra’s style has changed a little since last summer in favour of long skirts like this one. I’ve been going back and forth about whether the volume is something I want to keep, but at the moment the hypothetical pendulum…… Continue reading Summer Skirt
Project Roundup
Well, firstly, I decided to re-make the white chairs in Fierro’s, because the ones I originally made were not stable at all. These new ones are waiting for a few more support toothpicks and then they will be painted to match the pieces I salvaged from the old ones. My second pair of Simplicity 8457’s…… Continue reading Project Roundup
What’s Cooking in Fierro’s
Things have been happening in Fierro’s Bakery recently, and Hazel wanted to show you all. Come on, there’s two things I want to show you! First, we’ve got new plates and trays for the glass display case! The wooden trays will also hold things like cupcakes, and the plates at the bottom are for cakes.…… Continue reading What’s Cooking in Fierro’s
Project Roundup
I gave some of Petra’s short-sleeved shirts long sleeves, mostly to try out different sorts of sleeves and keep practicing setting them in at this scale. I really like these puffy ones, especially how neat the cuff at the wrists is. This is the other shirt I did – I always thought it looked a…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Pink Backpack
As Hazel’s wardrobe/possessions expand in number, she will need something to carry them in – therefore, I made her a backpack! The bag opens, so Hazel can carry stuff around if she needs to. It’s a lot like Petra’s backpack, though I’m not sure the fabric around the opening of Hazel’s bag is quite wide…… Continue reading Pink Backpack
Fierro’s Furnishings
Well, the first few furnishings, at least. I’ve made two sets of these tables and chairs for seating in the bakery. In lieu of thin enough wood, I’ve used strips of cardboard to make the chairs (apart from the seats and backrests, which are wood.). The tables have this really cool pink terrazzo top on…… Continue reading Fierro’s Furnishings
A Dress in Bloom
Spring is well and truly here, and with a change in seasons comes a change in wardrobe! Yes, Hazel now has a new dress, as I felt that her wool skirt was a little too hot for summer. The Swoosh Factor is a very important test for all skirts to undergo, and Hazel assures me…… Continue reading A Dress in Bloom
Fierro’s Front Counter
The front counter at Fierro’s is complete! We also got a chalkboard menu hung behind the counter, which is fantastic. The plan is to fill the three shelves in the glass cabinet with breads, cakes, and smaller treats at the top. Under the counter has shelves for wayward cash registers and anything else that might…… Continue reading Fierro’s Front Counter
Pink & White Walls
The interior walls of Fierro’s have just been painted with their final coat! Isn’t this shade of pink beautiful? Hazel picked it out herself. I’m quite pleased with how the panelling has turned out – it took a little while, but I definitely think it was worth the effort. We also have the curtain mounted…… Continue reading Pink & White Walls
