More test sewing!
Took some time to do some test sewing between errands and appointments ^^; I have plenty of stuff/ideas I’d like to make, just not enough arms at the moment ^^;/
Yoshi (one of our furry kids) was very curious what was going on when I was taking photos ^^; Had to stop him from coming too close — Normally keep cats far away from my dolls as cats tend to like to do naughty stuff like try to lick/chew on the wig or clothes ^^; Currently the cats are not allowed in our office where we have wires and materials around ^^;
The top Mirai is wearing still need some adjustments as I do not like how the armhole area is looking a little strange still ^^; Non related note, Yoshi looks like a cat in doll size? lol
Nosy Ginko (the grey girl kitty) decided to come into the shot too … I ended up moving Mirai to the table near by, but lighting was less ideal unfortunately ^^;
I’m kinda picky about how my sewing fits so often it takes a few tries before I finalise a pattern ^^; There are times where I have to make notes on the pattern to remind myself that certain patterns work for cotton may not work for say, tee-shirt knit fabrics ^^;
Below is my first try to make the top, unfortunately this one is meant to fit M-bust better ^^; You can see some strange folds on the side between the sleeves and the shirt part as Mirai currently uses the L-bust.
Gotta take a better photo of the top sometime ^^; (Picture below was taken a bit too quickly at night)
Omake picture taken by my husband when I was sewing ^o^
Danny preferred the pants for his daughters to have a bit more flare on the pant leg, and I wanted to try out a lower waistband style so I merge it into yet another test pants, below are some photos ^^/ (Mirai is probably gonna keep this pair for her hard work ;P)
With a lower waistline, Mirai can actually sit down like in the photo below, but the opening at the back opens up as the fabric used to make her pants are not stretchy. I will be looking into a different way to close the back. And oh, chibinezumi commented that the material I used is called chambray (thank you!) :D
Due to the construction and hardness of the doll body, the groin area does not fill out the pants like human flesh so there is some wrinkles in the pants around that said area, especially after she sits down.
When she stands straight it is still possible to adjust such that the wrinkles around the groin area are minimised.
Want to try adding side pockets and such eventually :3
Thanks for following my slow progress in making an outfit from scratch! :3
Good work there. Hope to open both nanoha and fate together. ( They are a nice yuri pair :D )

I love those T shirts. I wear shirts like that in real life, it’s such a cute casual style and sooo comfy. The doll version looks adorable. You don’t get enough life like casuals for dolls. The pants are looking great too, really shows off those killer dd legs!
[Reply]
@Arayden thanks! and Oh…. LOL
@Aquilla thanks too! I myself need more of those style of tops ^^; maybe I should try to make 1-2 for myself in future ^^;
[Reply]
Looks fantastic!!!
I am amazed at the perfect stitching from the t-shirt!
[Reply]
hiya chun! I have a question could you show how you get the dresses on of what you use cause I’m working on sewing for my new doll nina and don’t know how to get the dresses on ^^;
[Reply]
@Romina you know when the doll is 60cm tall it’s easier to make than blythe’s lol!
@whyiloveacting you can have the top or dress open at the back and close it with metal snaps or velcro ^^; If you have say a barbie doll, check how they close their clothing?
[Reply]
Chun, you totally should try making your own clothes, that would be super adorable and super cool.
[Reply]
@Aquilla lol I tried before :P but with human clothes, I’m impatient I either loose interest if I don’t finish it at one sitting or do a bad job if I rush ^^;
[Reply]
aww chun your daughter is soo~ cute with those pants and btw hows the gothloli style can’t wait to see it done by you ^_^
[Reply]
@yamada lol saying she’s my daughter is so misleading :P And which gothloli style are you talking about? ^^; I already sent in the one Danny commissioned to him and is working on something else at the moment ^^;
[Reply]
Your welcome :) Yoshi has that lolcat look like “hmm that hooman is awful small” its adorable! The test t-shirts shape is so realistic to stuff in the stores and the grey one reminds me of Missoni patterns. The wrinkles in the pants seem more real. Real women have wrinkles when they sit down (scientific fact). Keep up the good work Chun’s husband! love the omake pics they are cute ;)
[Reply]
p.s. thank you for the pic of Mirai in glasses Kawaiii!
[Reply]
the pink and black one, not forcing you to do it XD just take your time ^^
[Reply]
@chibinezumi lol Hooman LOL! I think with dolls the joints and stuff is just less soft compared to human flesh :3 Glad you enjoyed the pix!
@yamada lol sometimes there seriously is too many things I want to make and not enough time =_=;;
[Reply]
Wow!!! I love those tops! With the slightly puffy sleeves! So cute! And long in the body. Have got a top of two in real life that resemble that design. So cool. Dollfies look so great in the tight pants. And the pant-shirt combo. So awesome.
Nice plain white heels. Match well.
[Reply]
@meimi132 thanks! I want to try to make a shorter version which shows a little of her sexy belly sometime lol! Dollfies have wonderful bodies ^^;!Mirai has a pair of those heels in black too ^^ gotta love basics :3
[Reply]
Lol. Sexy bellies eh? Seems like only DD Dynamite bodies can go all the way to bikinis and hide the joint well :D.
[Reply]
@Arayden yah I know! But the torso on the regular DD bodies are still pretty nice ^o^
[Reply]
Great job! she is lovely, i love the first shirt :)
[Reply]
@Sevastra thank you! :D
[Reply]

[Reply]
@namo san thank you for your kind words! I linked to your DD blog ^^/!
[Reply]
Yoshi does indeed look like a miniature cat~ So cute though~ x3
I love the first shirt, looks like something I’d wear xD [not sure about the dogs on the fabric... why not cats? ;3]
And the pants look divine~ I need flares to even out my shape, and finding pants that suit me is so hard~ If only these came in my size, lol.
Lovely work Puppy~
[Reply]
@Koshiko XD I got that fabric when I was in Japan lol! Didn’t see cats one ^^; I find it hard to find pants too ^^; thanks!
[Reply]
Wow chun, the clothes look great! I’m looking forward to get a DD so much. All I need to do is wait a little longer…
[Reply]

Nah, we call it poison (Induces people to hunt for collection items. The term “Poison” being promoted heavily in vr-zone.com.sg XD).
May09 has been the most expensive month for me, ever. LOL. Why, that’s when the intuos4 came out too. Instant-grab.
I put up a sizable illustration on the “physical” manifestation of the said condition ( using wriggle as a test bug :p )
