Socks as Doll Clothes
I think using socks for doll clothes is a pretty universal experience when you're first starting out creating a wardrobe. I personally love pushing the boundaries working within the medium to evoke knit fabrics in a doll scale to create more sophisticated pieces, make items not normally associated with doll sock fashion such as pants, and getting meta with dolls wearing effigies of themselves or creating socks... out of socks.
Too often the sock dress is sometimes relegated to the realm of the beginner, unable to achive a more sophisticated look that most adult collectors are drawn to. I feel socks can be one of the most versatile weapon in a doll sewist's arsenal:
I'd make me really happy if others would reblog this with the the doll clothes they've made! I've seen some really amazing work in the 10 years I've been on dollblr and I'd love to see how other interpret a good sock!
Some tiny, exquisite doll lingerie.
i had some hand-me-down blank fabric dolls gathering dust, and i wanted to do something fun for myself & my friend to commemorate us finally moving in together, so i decorated these two guys out of stuff i had lying around. the grace is for me & the simon is for them!
i primed the doll bodies (probably muslin fabric? not sure but they're a couple decades old) with mod podge and painted them with some ordinary acrylic paint. the hair is embroidery thread knotted at the scalp. in simon's case, i knotted the hair again at the end of each thread; his hair took two whole skeins of black thread. grace's hair was "gelled" using very dilute mod podge. clothes are fully removable with snaps/zippers etc.
grace's jumpsuit is fully wearable and has embroidered patches! simon's left arm is removable and his necklace is adjustable! and they both have heart-print boxers painted onto the doll bodies (cut a stamp myself)
they're definitely not going to be winning any beauty contests, but they were fun and thrifty to make, and they've already made my friend and me smile and laugh so much ^_^
