Decided to walk to work as I missed my bus — would be later than late if I waited for the next bus so I thought okay might as well bring a doll with me and make the best of it all! Ginny is the lucky grab at the last minute pick of the day ^o^;!
So glad I brought her out as I managed to take some pictures which I am rather happy with :D
Lemonbuttercup looking like a vase holding some tulips ;P
Feels like I haven’t sewn in a long time ^^; Sometimes before I sew an actual item I want to make, I need some “warm up” sewing ^^; I picked a friend’s pattern she generously shared on flickr to try out :) Warm up sewing usually means it’s not perfect lol!
I wish! Doesn’t she look so cute like this? If my dolls/toys really know how to knit and sew I’ll probably work them to death :P (bad owner!)
Bunch more pix of Mirai in a yellow knitted sweater ;)
As promised, here it is! A photographic documentation of the making of the Mirai Seifuku ^^!
I’m a big fan of Danny Choo’s Mascot(s) – Mirai Suenaga and sister Haruka Suenaga. Heck, I even named my Yukino Dollfie Dream after Mirai! When I was influenced by Danny and fell in love with Yukino – a Dollfie Dream, I knew I had to eventually make my own Mirai Seifuku! ^^; I guess Danny had a same idea for his Dollfie Dream, so he commissioned me to make a set for his lovely Dollfie Dream girls :)
It was quite challenging, as I needed to create a pattern from scratch, and make sure the pattern match closely to the actual Seifuku design by Azami Yuko Sensei. Thru researching various links, I found this particular japanese tutorial particularly helpful. (Domo Arigato!) Link broken :(
Welcome to the “soft launch” of puppy52doll.com blog style :D
Hope you like our new look so far!
This is still a “soft launch” meaning that there could be more changes/revisions in future, if you had linked to us prior to this new look, please do not re-direct your links from puppy52doll.com!
The newest feature of the contents on site is a step by step tutorial, the first one for a Blythe Doll Camisole as seen after this post. I hope to add more in future, feedback are welcome!
The coming weekend from the 5th to 8th is a long weekend for us in Canada, so I’ll be mostly away from my desk, unable to sew, so please bear with me!
