Meet Lady Jane

Here are all four mice on Katie's table on Tuesday when I delivered them. The fourth is a Tudor Lady. I have decided she is called Lady Jane. 

I got quite carried away. I dug out this book, a gift from Steph and Gaz in 2018 [reviewed here] to get some ideas, particularly about 'underpinnings' I wanted to make a full Tudor skirt with a Farthingale petticoat. I used some firm fabric [insulation from a discarded coolbag] to make the shape. Then created a simple drawstring petticoat.

All topped off with a satin dress.[leftover curtain from Rosie's Worst Witch Cape] A pair of sleeves, and an overskirt made from some red and gold curtain fabric [from a sample book] with gold embroidery done on the machine Lace for a ruff - and a necklet made from an orphaned ear-ring.

Mice all dressed in their best for the Museum's Grand Re-Opening.
