It was my older sister's birthday last week and as always I had the dilemna... what do you buy someone who has everything?? With my newfound sewing powers and crafty ways, I soon came up with the perfect solution. While you may have noticed that I am a huge believer in the "Ways of the Co-ordinated", I learnt absolutely everything I know off my sister, the Matching Master. So without further ado, may I present the Divine Miss Marie! She wears gorgeous gold necklace with leaf detail, complimented perfectly by her ribbon trim belt. And a girl can never wear too much gold! Gold trim on both shoes and handbag and of course no outfit is complete without a touch of "M" bling!
The pattern is based on the one from here but with a few little tweaks. I'm really happy with the finished result and think my sewing is finally improving (I've even let you sneak a peek up close!).

Wow, she is lovely - a definite style icon! Your sewing is beautiful.
A personal doll? What a wonderful gift, bling and all!
I loved that martha stewart episode where the Black Apple gal made the dolls.
She looks great, I'm sure she will be loved
OMG the shoes, I love the shoes!!! Everything about her is define! What a beautiful present for your sis : )
This is so cute, I lvoe the tweeks but you can still tell she is a black apple baby. The face is so sweet. I am sure she will love it.
I love her matchy matchiness. She's got style.

A lovely, lovely gift.
She could give style lessons that girl!
Miss Matchy Marie really is divine! Does the handbag come in large?

She's a stunner!

gorgeous! :-) I am not good at making arms...too narrow for me!! :)
She is divine. I'm most impressed with your sewing.
How is your crochet coming along? We must be about due for an update.
Oh she's lovely! I love her little purse.
I LOVE the shoe detail! Gorgeous!
And very brave of you to show us up close - I'm still working on that one. I think it's definitely the sign of a good seamstress - my sewing is still too wobbly to show up close yet!
I bet she'll LOVE it.
