I am nearing the end of the apple fabric, but not there yet. The remaining pieces are not large enough to cut parts for clothing--well, not for human-size clothing, I did make a(n as yet unphotographed) sweatshirt for a larger doll--but there are accessory possibilities.
So I made a beret.
There's nothing challenging to making this kind of beret: trace around the largest plate we have, cut two layers, cut the center from one side using a lid from a cardboard oatmeal canister, repeat for the lining, figure out how long to cut a strip to be the band, sew them all together.
There was enough of the NYC stretch silk left to make the lining, and I was even able to place the doorman in the most unsettling prominent spot.
It's actually a bit smaller in diameter than I like, but I was limited by the remaining contiguous fabric. I considered making a newsboy hat, but I'm not always happy with how the pattern I have turns out, and that would have been a lot more work for potential disappointment, so a beret it is.
And, so, I get marginally closer to using up all of the apple print.
