Dollfie Dream make up test 1

Lookie! Nao Mirai has a sister (maybe?) :3!

The husband got me a blank head as a late birthday present and I finally got around messing with it. It’s a tricky process as I needed to spray a coat as a base to protect the vinyl from being stained permanently, let that dry before I can paint on it etc etc. Had to remove my attempts a few times before I finally got this.  Not sure if she’s gonna keep the look but it’s good for now :)  Her eyes are temporarily stuck on, I need to find some kneadable eraser or white bluetac soon ^^;

Dollfie Dream Tee-shirt

I made blythe size teeshirts with iron ons before, and I finally got reminded that I should try to make a Dollfie Dream teeshirt ^^; I wanted to bring Mirai Yukino chan to the Anime Evolution 2009 at the Vancouver Convention Center one of the days, and felt it is only appropriate if I at least dress Mirai in something which I made ^^;/

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 ^^;

Catching up

I think Danny was talking to me about a white blouse for his Dollfie dream girls possibly since last year(or early this year), and I only got to finishing it up recently and got it out to him ^^; I really wish I have clones too =_=;/ You can spy it on Saber chan in the 2nd last photo of his article :3 I took a few pix before packing it and really like some of them :)

I’m posting more progress of the gothloli outfit near the end so if you’re interested… Read more

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…

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 ^^;
