My new girl - Mini Layla Elf
Posted: Wed Nov 28, 2018 9:19 pm
My new little girl arrived Monday so I whipped up a Christmasy outfit for her to wear. She came with brown eyes so I swapped those out for a pair I had in pale purple altho they look more blue. Messed up trimming her silver wig so I will need to fix that a bit more...or get her some new hair LOL! (Yes, I was trying to make her look like your avatar, Kirahfaye!)
I wanted a more modern look rather than traditional elf, so I made her tights, boot toppers and arm warmers from a Christmas patterned pair of women's socks. The dress is from a Martha Boers free pattern, using just the bodice extended into a tunic. I fudged up the crop tank on top by myself. The hat was swiped and cut down from a stuffed kitty I got from the local Sally Ann. (That's Salvation Army resale shop for those who don't know.) She stole the boots from her Patsy cousins. I'm planning on a more traditional fairy look for her in the future, but this will do for now.

She still needs a new name. I was thinking Silverfrost, but maybe not.
