and her dolls
I decided to take an old pattern I had, and adapt it for my kitties. It’s an extremely simple pattern, but I’m still proud of it!
Yes, my sleepy Ringo with the weird faceup is the model for these, simply because she looks the best in them for some reason!
I hope to make more dresses, I even finished the edges with my overlock, so they look nice on the inside too!
I am also looking for fabrics to make my incoming Mint kitten something nice, but I haven’t found the right matches yet.
Hello!
Unfortunately I had to delete my entire blog today, and it was looking like I couldn’t get my old stuff back, but by some miracle it seems that my old posts are back.
Im in the process of adding the photos again so some images may be broken, perhaps for ever, I’m not entirely sure yet.
You can probably tell that the blog looks very different, the themes I was using was incredibly outdated and not supported any more. I will probably change the look a few times until I find something that works for me.
Instead of just boring news, I want to share a photo of my pukifee Litja, in a new overall I made for her:
I found a pattern for leggings on Etsy (QTDolls on Etsy) and I tried printing a pattern I had for MSD sweater at 133%, just to see if it would fit.
The first pair of leggings are a tiny bit short for her, probably because I used a fairly thick fabric, and the first sweater was made with a fabric I got on sale ages ago, I have so much of it and since it was so cheap it wont matter as much if I mess up 🙂
The funny thing is that I think the first sweater and tights turned out pretty good!
I used my serger on the sweater because that fabric is a real pain to work with.
I made a pair of white leggings as well, I used a skirt I got on sale and they turned out pretty good 🙂
Next I made a sweater using some gorgeous fabric I got on Etsy a few years ago, it has the most adorable little strawberries on it, and I used the same pink fabric from the previous sweater for cuffs and stuff. I think I’m going to make a pair of leggings from the pink fabric as well, I think it’ll go really well with the sweater 🙂
I actually made this all by hand :O I’m not good at hand sewing, but I’m sure I’ll get better with practice 🙂 Still, it was fun to finally make something for my darling little puki 🙂 I made some more stuff I’ll get better pics of later.
Tiny sweater:
It’s hard to show off my dolls sometimes, since it’s always so messy around here.
I have my three MSD’s and some Monster High dolls on one of my shelves, and I decided to do a tinsy bit of cleaning. I’m planning on fixing the entire shelf, my pukifee and puki also need a little spot to call their own 🙂 I also have a ton of blank MH dolls that’ll need some space once I get around to painting them 😛
Anyway, I took a couple of pics. I used flash, so they aren’t particularly warm 😛 Still, I thought it would be fun to show how it looks.
Lets see.. In the “back row” is Caterine Demew, Twyla, Frankie, Draculaura, my obitsu hybrid, and another Draculaura. The two on the left front are Rochelle and Jane Boolittle. To the far right I also have my two Sonny Angels, and in the middle there is a Fluttershy Funko Pop.
Phew! So many. I apologize for the paper things in the photo on the far right, I had nowhere else to put them yet 😛
They do sort of hide Fluttershy and my nice little boxes, I’ll have to get them another spot to sit later.
Celine, Lexi and Kira close up 🙂
And lastly I wanted to show off some goods I got from my good friend ages ago, I’m so sorry I haven’t taken proper pics of them yet! They are some beautifully made clay foods for my dollies! 🙂
She even made the little plates (they have some gold around the edges that don’t show up here) and everything is so well made. There are spiderweb cakes (the big one on the right is for the MSD girls to enjoy) and little brownies with halloween themed toppings (ghosts, pumpkins and bats!)
I’m kind of hording things to put in my dollhouse when it is complete (have a feeling it’ll take 10 years) so everything like this just makes me so happy. The little rug that my girls are sitting on in the pics above was made for the dollhouse 🙂 Weaved it myself and everything 😛
Aren’t the little cakes amazing though? I hope to make some halloween decorations and stuff so one day I can take halloween pics inside the dollhouse 😀
Well, maybe I am a little lazy.
I just don’t have time for everything that I want to have time for, so my blog keeps getting neglected.
My dollies however, they are still with me, and I made a wig for a little lady:
The “dress” she is wearing is a failed experiment of mine, but I haven’t completely given up on it yet 😛 I just love that pink skull lace so much <3
I’m still waiting on some hair that I ordered, hopefully it isn’t lost, just taking it’s sweet time getting to me.
I still have major issues with the part on the wigs I make, it really doesn’t look good :S I’m hoping I’ll get better with practise, but I am planning on ordering modpodge because I have a feeling I’m not using the best glue. Only problem is, shipping from the states have become so expensive, I can hardly buy anything from there anymore, which is a shame because US sellers have so many gorgeous things that I just can’t find anywhere.
You may also remember I had a post on this blog where I was looking to trade Lünn for a minifee nanuri, I have since taken it down because I just can’t bring myself to sell/trade her. I’m so glad no one contacted me while I had her up for sale, because I’m pretty sure I would’ve cried my heart out packing her up:P
I still want the Nanuri so bad, but she is wildly popular right now, and I just wasn’t willing to sacrifice one doll for another.
Also, I haven’t done much with my tan Ruby! My problem is that I cant find eyes for her, and my money have been going elsewhere for a while (photography supplies amongst others!) so she is patiently waiting. She does have eyes right now, but one pupil is bigger than the other so it looks really weird :/ But she is still here!
I need a white background that doesn’t need to be ironed 😛
I’m really happy with it, even if I did mess up a little in the back.
Chloe’s tracking number is working, and the latest status is “Package has arrived at the export terminal” 😀
I’ve wanted to try and make wigs for ages, though I know I wont be very good at it, I decided to start trying. I’m hoping I’ll get better with practice, but I think I may need some other glue. Here is what I have so far:
And since I haven’t added any proper photos of Twyla’s face, here are some detail shots:
And extras of Ruby for fun:
I decided to try and make a sweater for Lünn, since the only clothing items she has that is fitted to her are socks 😛 Instead of spending 10 hours working on a pattern that in the end turns out terribly wrong, I decided to try draping.
I wanted a roomy, comfy and long sweater with big long arms. What I got was a crooked, huge and pajama-looking dress. Sort of. I still need to add some sort of fastener in the back, and maybe embellish with buttons or something.
Despite the many, many errors on this sweater-dress, I love it. And I think Lünn does too.
Potato photo for you:
I’d still like to actually make a pattern and a better fitting sweater one day. The black fabric is very forgiving so you cant see too much of how crooked it is 😛
I can’t believe it’s been so long since I last posted something, whoops.
I made this little origami crane yesterday 🙂 Always wanted to learn how to make those things 😛
