Tutorial and Pattern: Doll Accoutrement (and July Toy Society Drop)

I made this little lovely from Emily's Black Apple sweet as hell doll pattern (find the link on her blog, Inside a Black Apple) for my July Toy Society Drop ( read more about the Toy Society and its random acts of plushie kindness here and if you are bored, you can see all my drops over the past year here). Of course, I made some modifications--knee socks and a bib detail I added to her dress. But then I also decided she should have some accoutrement--because shouldn't all dolls have a little accoutrement? So, I made the capelet, beret and little mary jane shoes. And then I thought, well, why shouldn't I share these simple little patterns with you to either embellish your own Black Apple doll, or that you could use for your own doll design? These little pieces take like an hour to whip up and add so much je ne sais quoi to your doll (not to mention how much adoration you may inspire in any small children who would be so lucky as to receive a doll with said accoutrement). So, go ahead, find my simple, easy-peasy pattern with instructions here:

And so the doll was dropped on behalf of the Toy Society last Friday, just outside Java Train in Saint Paul, Minnesota (yeah, I am little delayed in this post--been camping on Lake Superior the past few days...more on that later...). Makes for drop number 7 in my year long commitment. I've already got plans to make a weiner dog plushie for my August drop...hope you'll stop back to see that one too.
