New Pukipuki Dress Style

I'm really having a blast creating clothing for 11cm Pukipuki sized dolls. This morning I was able to work on a new Pukipuki dress style and the first attempt at it was not what I had in mind. The style of the bodice was too long and the skirt portion was too short. :(

After a bit of tweaking of the pattern, I'm almost happy with the pattern. The bodice is fully lined and the shape is what I envisioned for this dress.

 

Tomorrow I'll work out the final kinks in the skirt portion and it'll be perfect! Thank goodness for muslin! :)

New Found Happiness

Yesterday while watching my daughter sew for her dolls, I was so happy to see how she LOVED what she created and I'm glad I was able to help her achieve success sewing for them. It gave me time to work on my own patterns for a few of my tiniest girls... Penelope (my PukiPuki Cupid) and Miyumi (Little Dal+ Cinnamoroll/11cm Obitsu Hybrid). I was able to sew up a few of the pieces from my patterns and they look super cute on my girls plus the happiness I felt creating for my smallest girls was inexplicable. I did find out PukiPuki dolls are actually shorter and slimmer than 11cm Obitsu bodies. The clothing fits both girls but I'm partial to the look on my PukiPuki because Penelope is too adorable for words. I'm happy I have all this fabric to make clothing for these little ladies. I plan on listing some of the clothing sets for the tiniest ladies (11cm) in our dollie collections in my shop.



Couldn't resist taking a photo of Miyumi & Penelope in these matching outfits I finished making. Miyumi has on a dress and Penelope is wearing a graphic t-shirt and skirt. Time to get some more transfer paper. :) Penelope insisted on having hair to match Miyumi, good thing I already made a wig in her size. (^.^)

Penelope: "But why not? It's so much more fun this way!"

Exploring New Horizons

Farewell corporate America and hello handmade indie business creative. Since I am no longer employed by a big major retailer anymore, I still need money to purchase my dollies plus goodies for them. :) So I'll be putting all of my creative skills to work and open up an etsy shop. I mean I actually opened one up in Sept. 2012 to de-stash some craft supplies as it was taking over my home BUT never did get around to taking the photos or listing anything but that's all going to change now. I think I'll list mostly goodies for American Girl Dolls and maybe a few things for Dals and Pullips.

Here is what's currently listed in the etsy shop.

I plan to eventually have my own shop right here on Among the Dolls but it'll involve some coding and will take some time to get right, so in the meantime I'll use etsy to list new items and post here when new stuff is listed on etsy as well as announce sales, giveaways, contests, etc. I'm really excited about opening up my own shop.

Here to exploring new horizons. :)

Doesn't this hair look amazing on my Reagan (MNF Chloe). It's the perfect color BUT not to jazzed about the cut. I may have to change it. This is SOOC with editing except for cropping. I just love her hair color!

Oh I think it's time for me to make her some new clothes as this top is spent. xD
