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.
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 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 finished it a while ago, and I really messed up in the back. I need to find a way of closing it that’ll make it tighter around her chest, but for now I’m happy.
I know, like I said the fabric may not have been the right choice for her, but she looks so proud with her first actual fitting piece of clothing 🙂
I’m adding a photo of the work in progress dress too, we’re getting close to finishing the top 🙂
I made socks yesterday. Pattern is still a work in progress, not a perfect fit but does the job of keeping her feet warm 🙂 Also, finally photos of her upgraded lips ;P More color.
I redid Bonnie’s faceup a couple of days ago and I’m much more happy with her now 🙂 There is a weird spot though, by her nose, I’m wondering if for some reason the MSC didn’t take as well and it might flake off.. Not going to poke it too much 😉
Oh, I also made the dress she is wearing, except for the petticoat, that is from the dress set we won from Akara 🙂
I made a dress for the girls, and Luna wanted to show off the outfit we bought earlier:
Just when I thought spring was popping it’s head out, this happened:
In other more fun news, I tried this fun wig on story:
I got this girl in the mail:
And I made this today:
I’m only now realizing I’m going to need tiny buttons 😛
Yaaay!
I ordered another LTF sized christmas present today 😀 I’m afraid that I wont be able to get as much as I had planned, but I know that we’ll have a wonderful Christmas no matter what 🙂
Aaand.. I finally did some sewing! And it completely failed!
The legs are fine, but a little bit tight. The biggest problem is the top part. Its HUGE. And I mean grandma-huge, and baggy. And on top of that, she can’t sit if she’s wearing them.
But she can wear them if she has a long sweater over, to hide the ugly parts ^^
Even if I failed a bit (or misread the pattern, I don’t know) it did feel good to sew a little again.
