KNITWEAR

All the sweaters are designed to slip over Sasha's head easily.  They have been designed specially for Sasha and fit perfectly.  When putting a fair isle style sweater onto Sasha I slip a little sock over each hand before putting the sweater on this prevents her thumb catching on any strands of yarn.  The majority of the knit wear that I make has been designed by me.  The main exception to this is the sock pattern that I like to use which was designed by my friend Robyn and the lovely mitten pattern that was designed by Betsymay.

Knitting Yarn

Where possible I like to use natural fibres - shetland wool, 4 ply tweed wool, sock yarn (wool and cotton), baby alpaca, 4 ply cotton and cashmere.  On occasion, if I find the perfect colour that I am looking for in a 4 ply acrylic yarn I will use it.

Care of Knitwear

Because the knitwear is made from natural and luxury yarn, if it needs washed it should be gently washed in luke warm water using a detergent specially for wool such as woolite or lux.  I rinse well giving it a final cold rinse.  I try not to wring out the sweater usually I put it inside a hand towel to remove excess water.  Then I lay the sweater flat on a towel, shaping it and allow to dry.

SEWN CLOTHING

Fabrics

Again when choosing fabrics for making garments, my preference is for natural fabrics.  I love the look and feel of fine cotton corduroy, pretty cotton prints and soft faded denim.  All of the fabric that I use for making the clothes is new.

Choosing Colours

I always choose my Sasha model, for each outfit that I make, first.  Then I spend some time choosing fabrics that look beautiful on the model, enhancing her beauty. 

I like to drape the fabrics across her and choose knitting yarn that co-ordinates with the fabrics to create a complete and individual style for the outfits. 

Finishing

I overlock all raw seams to give a neat finish.  Lined bodices are hand finished inside.  I like to fully line duffle coats and jackets.  My aim is to make lovely, beautifully styled, classic, well made clothes for Sasha, that will look gorgeous on your doll.

PRICING STRUCTURE FOR OUTFITS

The outfits are all priced depending on what garments have been made, the cost of the materials, time and design factors. The list below is a guide to allow you to see how the price for the complete outfit has been worked out.
