A new skirt





Last night, I whipped up a pleated skirt to fit Tonner's 16" fashion dolls. I'd seen another doll seamstress offer these for sale, but she stopped offering them before I ever got around to purchasing one. Luckily, a friend bought several, and shared a description of their construction. I found some woven plaid fabric in my stash, and came up with the following "school girl" style pleated skirt. In this prototype, I left the hem as a fringe; next time I'll sew a proper hem. My model wears a sweater I made from a sock, and the boots are by Kingstate. The pictures were taken during a brief sunbreak today, so they are slightly less than perfect.

A shirt for the guys







Not only do I sew for female fashion dolls and BJDs, I made this shirt that came from a pattern sized to fit Matt O'Neill from Tonner. It also fits some BJDs, such as Lucien from RDG, who models the lavender shirt. Lucien belongs to Baris, who also took the fabulous photos (and gave me permission to post them here).

LBD


I have made this classic sheath from Perfect Patterns many, many times for Tyler and her friends, but never in black. I finally finished my first Little Black Dress! I actually made 4 of them. The one pictured is the first one completed; the rest are awaiting snaps. Of the 4 dresses, one will be available for sale; please contact me if interested! Ultra Basic Tyler from Tonner is my model.

Mod Dresses








Here are some mod dresses I made recently using a pattern from gracefaerie. Miss Turry (Lady Di) by Goodreau models the floral version; SoulKid Yewon (Amy) by Soul Doll models the other. If anybody knows where I can find mod boots for these ladies, please let me know! (Names in parenthesis are what I've renamed my models.)








Welcome!

Welcome to my first ever blog and blog post! My hopes for this blog are to share the doll clothes I sew. I sew for a variety of dolls, which you'll see as time goes by. If you see a doll outfit you like and wish to add to your own collection, feel free to contact me and make an offer.
