Hello my friends! It's me, Baxter, your roving rover reporter, reporting to you about the latest in springtoberfest fashion, fresh off my mom's sewing machine. These happy duds are for my friends
Quintin and Jewel, who ordered their duds way back when. Lucky for mom and for Quintin and Jewel, their patience paid off because looky - here are their duds.
This time Jewel and Quintin wanted to celebrate their German heritage in true Octoberfest style. So first up, a peek at Jewel's dirndl dud, a vision in oranges and green complete with a buckled ruffle edged bodice and removable skirt/apron and yup your eyes are not fooling u, folk badger trim!
Now what's a boy to wear when his sister is wearing a dirndl? Why, lederhosen of course! Only just like me, Quintin is a mover and a shaker so u know, who needs pants? So, to keep things nice and lederhoseny, mom made sure to piece in the seamlines and pipe them, and she made a reversible suspender placket featuring acorns and oak leaves, because Quintin and Jewel live very near the city of oaks. This lederhosen look is made from super soft pinwale corduroy and bound in bottomweight twill so Quintin can jump and bump with the mountain billy goats if he wants to, while Jewel collects edelweiss in the mountains. Unfortunately for me, I am much bigger than Quintin otherwise I would model it for you. But maybe one day mom will make one for me, maybe even with suede or leather!
So that is it for this week in makey my friends! And I don't know about your plans for the weekend, but I think I've got some yodeling to do! This is Baxter your roving rover reporter wishing you a wonderful yoldel-eh-eee-poooooooooo! :)
