We are happy that you like our patterns, and hope they will knit up well for you. The jackets for Michael are on earlier posts. I am not sure which jacket you mean, but if it is the coat pattern with the hood, it can be found here: http://smalldolladventures.ca/2021/09/12/michael-gets-his-coat/
Nous sommes ravis que nos patrons vous plaisent et espérons qu’ils vous conviendront bien. Les vestes pour Michael sont sur les messages précédents. Je ne sais pas de quelle veste vous parlez, mais si c’est le patron du manteau avec la capuche, vous pouvez le trouver ici : http://smalldolladventures.ca/2021/09/12/michael-gets-his-coat/
Lovely clothes ! I have some Krusellings too and I really enjoy to play with them. Your knits really suit them. And thanks for the explanations of the little dress. If it’s possible, I would love to have the pattern of Michael’s coat and cap. Mine need one, it’s so cold outside ! 🙂 Thanks by advance.
Thank you. It is a lot of fun making clothes for them. Their size means it never takes too long, and they look cute in just about everything.
Bonjour,
C’est toujours un réel bonheur de voir vos petites poupées revêtues avec de nouvelles tenues.
J’adore découvrir vos post.
Est ce que vous ferez un tuto pour la petite veste ???
J’adorerais en réaliser une pour la kruseling de ma petite fille.
Merci d’avance

Please see your e-mail.
Love the car coats! They look fabulous! I want one too!
My grandmother used to make us sweaters just like them when we were young. They were very popular in style, which is why the patterns were reproduced in doll size, I am sure.
merci ! c’est bien amusant ! et le modèle de la robe… me plait beaucoup ! je suis en train de leur faire… un vraie, grande maison…
Oh, how happy they are going to be! We want a big house, too, but it is going to have to wait until our big sister finishes university.
J’ai fait votre petite robe !!!! comment puis-je vous envoyer une photo ?
Anne-Vera est enchantée… mais elle veut la veste… Avez-vous le modèle ?
merci de toutes vos jolies petites filles…
bien amicalement !
Please see your e-mail.
love your patterns, and these dolls, please keep them coming, they are so much fun!
So glad you enjoy them! We’ve no plans to quit in the foreseeable future, so please stick with us. We are having fun, too.
