New year sewing

Haven’t sewn properly during the holiday festive season, had to do some “warm up sewing” before some actual work related sewing… so who benefits from it? ^^;

Taiga said it’s the year of the Tiger, she’s entitled to get something new from me…  It’s not perfect, but she got a Yukata from me by twisting my pinky (still gotta make a proper obi and maybe a proper under garment of sorts^^;).

Managed to dig out tiny PVC tenori tiger from the boxes and boxes of stuffs ^^; A bit hard to remember what is where sometimes, especially when I try to pack them safely ^^;

Just before opening the surprise bear from Romina of ihavewings! Tiger on top of Taiga’s head fell over a few times ^^;

This part kinda reminded me of a certain scene in Toradora! with some differences of course :P

Awwwww she loves the surprise bear :)

Also finally finished up a test “winter jacket” for the big girls, but it’s not well fitted (grrr) I almost did not compete it ^^;  Sometimes things just don’t fit the way I like, and it stalls my sewing progress =_=; I have to Ganbarimasu x_x!!!

Below, the collar can be better, the front part is a bit misaligned and the snaps shows a bit too much for my liking *bangs head on wall* :P

omake LOL

Thanks for coming back to check out dolly photos :)

Anyone of you guys use etsy to buy stuff? Or ebay? ^^;
