Hi from New Zealand!
I have just begun collecting Sindy and Patch dolls and their gear, mostly 60's and early 70's after wanting to do so since age 6, in 1966!
I turned 50 this week and deciced this year was a good one for making some dreams come true...it's never too late.
I have been buying from ebay UK and Trademe NZ. I feel I have been quite lucky in finding some items already,icluding a mint conditon blonde 60's NZ "put together" doll wearing a complete set of "Sleepy time" from the same era.
Some items, however, are going to be beyond my reach and purse!
I would love to have a go at making Patch's Easter Parade items.
I would like to make them as repro as possible.
Would anyone have the time to answer a few questions about this outfit, please?
I would like to know if the inside of the hat is lined, and if the brim is broderie anglaise fabric underneath. Is the small collar area of the dress white bias binding or a "fold over" of the same broderie anglaise?
I am a confident sewer because I had to sew and knit for myself because I never owned a true Sindy or her clothes!
I would be willing to try and help some one else in return. Perhaps I have something I can repro in return? I believe "sharing" is the key to many good things in life!
Thanks for reading and have a good day ....Sue X

The Social area is just for talking about things non-doll related such as birthdays and everyday stuff. 
I do have two 60s Sindys and two Patch dolls though ;D
