Below, the stuffed legs have started to arrive and when the chief elf is not helping with the stuffing she spends some of her time with these very handsome boys, all of which she adores (who wouldn't ? ). 
My week has been working on a pattern for the overcoats, the style I wanted to get to, was what used to be called a duster coat, a little light coat that went over a dress, with a little time AND interfacing and a peter pan collar, I have managed to get the look I was after, when they are ready I hope you will like them.
