Pattern making and test sewing
Working on a commission Gothloli outfit for Danny’s sweet Saber dollfie dream, have to make a pattern which means test sewings for my own Mirai chan ^^;
First make sketches of some design(s)… Get approval… Finalise some details… Certain details may change depending on the type of lace/trims used, but a basic idea is needed to start :)
The process usually = Start making a pattern (if it’s from scratch) with paper over half of the Dollfie’s body, draw some outlines, use tape to secure some area which needs to be tucked in etc. Cut it out, trace as a flat pattern with seam allowance, cut out the fabric pieces needed then sew an actual test item(or more)… Make some mistakes along the way (doh!), trash the mistakes, make corrections/adjustment and make a 2nd try…
Planting a doll
Having collected a variety of dolls over the last 5 years, I find that Blythe dolls, for some reason always suddenly break my bank. ^^; Took Betsey, my Heather Sky blythe doll out on a Spring-y Saturday! ^^/ I was only casually (like, not gonna try very hard) gonna get her when a friend kindly helped me find a reasonable source (she know who she is haha!), when this particular doll is doubling in price on evilbay even before the doll is released ^^;
So if you like blythe dolls then, this entry is for you :) Read more
Mirai goes Cherryblossom hunting!
Needed to run an errand today and since the weather forecast said it will rain on the weekend I decided to bring Mirai chan with me to do some cherryblossom hunting for a bit and I’m so glad I did! Mirai looks very very moe here no?!
Warm up test sewing
Been rather busy these days, squeezed a little time to do some quick/warm up sewing ^^;
I saw a human size dress on a display (in different fabric) for a while now and wanted to make a doll sized version of it :D I don’t have a set pattern for this one unfortunately as I have to pleat and pin the “bra” part on the bosom of my Mirai to make sure they fit properly ^^;
Cute and Sensual dolly post
I apologize for the lack of updates in a while, have just been a bit busier than the normal busy due to some new arrivals…^^; Got Mirai working hard too, she help me answer phone calls regarding some delays with work which I am working on on and off (oops!)
Otome Asakura Doll in a new dress
When I opened the envelope and saw the lovely dress made by Plastic Fashion (intended for blythe), for some reason the doll which I bought late last year but never really showed pictures of came to mind.
Blythe Manna Energy Dress Drive
Remember my brief mention earlier this month about a charity related sewing I got myself into? I managed to finally pack up the finished items (made little by little over time) and sent them out last week. The sets reached Gina Garan, organizer of this particular dress drive safely today (woot!)
Flowers and Clovers
Only managed to take some quick indoor lighting pictures before I packed up the dress sets (oops) but if you’re interested in viewing my creations…
