New batch. This time we’re doing Middle Eastern people. I don’t really like how this girl turned out. I’ve got her head too far forward and it looks awkward, I think.

A girl, aged 4-6, stands with one hand up, pointing into the distance. She has a long-sleeved t-shirt with a cat printed on the front. She's also wearing jeans and sneakers. Her hair is medium-dark brown. She is Middle Eastern.

Moving on to ages 10-12. This one was fun. Her shirt pattern was a scatter brush of simple flower stamps. I squished the ones on the elastic portion sideways to make them look like smocking. The original version showed her belly a little, but the client wanted that covered to make it a little more conservative. I think she’s our first one with braces, also.

A girl, aged 10-12 stands with one hand on her hip and the other raised as if gesturing. She is smiling with braces. She has flower earrings. Her hair is black, long, and wavy. She is wearing light purple capri jeans and slip-on sneakers. Her shirt has a small floral pattern with short, puffed sleeves, a wide elastic neck, and an elastic smocked section around the belly. She is Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander.

I gave this girl a traditional floral print on her dress. I took way longer than I should have to get the print just right, but I’m really pleased with how it turned out.

Woops, skipped a day. Should have posted this yesterday.

We’re moving on to the second batch of this large project. This batch contains 15 different Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. They’re all in warm-weather clothing.

This one is a girl, aged 4-6. She looks happy, doesn’t she?

This is the first of three age 9-12 in this batch. I like the pleated skirt on her dress. I had a little trouble getting the angle right on her glasses.
