It's August, 3rd 2009 and I have witches on the brain. You see, I just posted an article on my Dolls Blog about the handmade witches that we have for sale in our Linda Walsh Originals Dolls website and have been thinking of writing a little history of witches article for my Linda's Blog.

So, I have witches on the brain! LOL LOL

In thinking about the witches I  decided that the "Instant Download E-Pattern" for the month of August for our Twelve Months of Sewing Club should be one of my favorite Halloween witch e-patterns. I decided to select LW167LWOEP "Lady Amanda, The Mannerly Witch." She's a Victorian witch and very mannerly to boot. Which is okay - I guess - as far as witches go!

So, how does the featured pattern deal work? Well, if you buy the "Featured Instant Download E-Pattern" you will get a FREE Linda Walsh Originals E-Pattern* (*of equal or lessor value) emailed to you. So, if you buy "Lady Amanda, The Mannerly Witch" you can choose another e-pattern* for FREE.

I think most witches will tell you that over the hundreds of years that they have gotten a really bad rap!

You see, most people are afraid of witches and afraid that either a spell will be cast on them or they'll be turned into a toad!

That is just NOT so for most witches.

You see, most are gentle and kind. And, most are really very humanitarian. In fact, most are very polite and VERY well mannered.

At least that's what "Lady Amanda, The Mannerly Witch!" tells us. She is anything but mean spirited and doesn't have a nasty bone in her body. Again, that's what she tells us!




In fact she loves life, loves people, kisses babies and loves everything and anything Victorian. So, she commissioned a whole bunch of Victorian outfits to be made for her. She figures that if she's going to be a Victorian witch then at least she should be stylish.

"Lady Amanda, The Mannerly Witch!" is a 14" Victorian witch from our new Holiday Victorian line.

Lady Amanda is a self-standing witch cloth doll. She has an embroidered and watercolor pencil painted face. She is wearing a cotton slip with black fringe trim. Her beautifully coordinated outfit includes a fashionable dress with black lace overskirt and satin skirt, coordinated orange plaid dress bodice, ribbon bow tied at the high waistline, and lace trimmed sleeves. Her short waisted jacket is lined and has gathered and puffy lined sleeves.




Her lined cape is made of black satin and drapes beautifully from her neck. She has a full head of thick and flowing gray mohair hair. Her witches hat is really anything but a true witches hat. It is a rounded black stain and lined bonnet with black lace trim, and 6 black lace and orange plaid bows and coordinated beautifully with her outfit.

Lady Amanda, is the epitome of stylishness. Or, at least she thinks she is. In fact, she'd argue with you that since the Queen made her a "Lady" with full title and benefits that she deserves respect. Of course, she'll never tell us who the "Queen" was that so endowed her with her "lady" title. The Queen of the witches perhaps? Hmmmm......

We hope you enjoy making "Lady Amanda, The Mannerly Witch"
