<p>I would be very interested to see more of your sketches. I love Tudor fashion. Olga Watkins from Swish and Swirl has developed some beautiful patterns for American Girl dolls and A Girl for All Time dolls based on the Tudor and Elizabethan era. She has a Facebook page - Swish &amp; Swirl.</p>

<p>I just found your wonderful sketches again, Elaine. I am very interested in history of fashion. I have enrolled in your Doll and Bear Hat Making course and while I was thinking about outfits to go with the hats I am dreaming about, I remembered seeing your lovely sketches. Have you thought if scanning some of the others. I would love to see them.</p>

<p>In the 60s Copyright was not a legal issue as it is today &amp; we actually had to do research in library and they allowed us to trace the shapes then we had to fill in detail for home work with a horrid fine pointed Black ink pen called a repitograph. There is a complete set of 20 pics. At the time I could not see the value of so much work ...would sooner have been making hats!!  E xx  </p>
