I made this for a brand new school

    About

    A colleague of my daughter in law has been appointed Head of a brand new school. My dil asked if I could make these dolls to show the range of uniform and to show diversity and inclusivity. This is what we came up with. It took quite some time but I am super pleased with the result. The cardigans were from Little dazzler dolls and the school bags/ back packs were a combination of Pat’s pattern and from a pattern by Rosie’s design store.
    I found this beautiful book which seemed to say it all and decided to gift that to them.

      These are all super! Such a lovely idea and all the little dolls look so smart in their uniforms. Such a special time for children starting school.
