Every now and then I come across a fabric that is just perfectly suited for dolls' clothes... This linen/cotton blend would make great little pinafore dresses or shorts, and the colour goes so well with Iris' tan skin.
(Iris is an Asai Murphy on a Guard-love 4th gen body.)
Seren, kindergarten Kun-kun on a 2D Doll new body. Was cleaning my cupboard and re-dressed a couple of the tinies. Rompers make easy one-piece outfits!
um... So.... I've gone suspiciously quiet on the Tumblr/ doll front because I've become enamoured of fabric-collecting and sewing for humans, instead of dolls. I've dabbled in collecting fabric since my university days (half a lifetime ago now), but have never dared to sew actual human clothing before. Taking up human-scale sewing has allowed me to indulge in larger patterns, heavier fabrics and nicer quality materials (linen, wool, fancy knit cottons) than doll sewing allows or warrants.
Nico, my Miyadoll Bluebell boy, is lounging on a lovely floral linen, and his head is pillowed on a yummy soft unbleached cotton knit. (His pullover is by Missyodoll.)
That's it for now, I just thought I ought to check back in. XD My Guard-love 4th generation body did arrive some months back, and is adorable and very nice posing-wise, so a comprehensive overview of my various Yo-SD-scale bodies is still on the cards... someday...
I hope everyone is doing well, too!
My knit fabric fixation continues in the form of legging pants. I re-organised my collection just today - one box for solids and pointelle, one box for stripes, one box for prints and patterns like this floral.
[Iris is an ASAI Murphy in light tan. Her eyes are from Toybar, wig by 猪头研究所, clothes by me.]
(Shou is a Volks Yo-SD Rinon. His clothes are by me and his shoes are by Peter Pan.)
Work-from-home companion.
(Sasha is an Asai Mira on a Pettimal body (I'm liking this one more and more! Looking forward to doing a side-by-side review of my Yo-SD-sized bodies). Her outfit is by 暖暖暖薄荷/ Melting Mint and her mohair wig is by Kemper (I think this will be her permanent wig!))
My two sleeping beauties: Laurie, a Volks Yo-SD Anne Sweet Dream from 2006, and Seren, a kindergarten Kun-kun head circa 2020, on a temporary Pettimal body. His open-eyed face-plate, below, is a kindergarten Xing-xing, and his adorable outfit is by 暖暖暖薄荷 (official English name: Melting Mint).
I tried out a simpler version of the overalls pattern I posted before. The chest and trousers are in one piece on both sides, so there's a seam all the way down centre front. No fastenings are needed, but the straps must be sewn very securely, because the bottom part tends to ride down when the doll sits. I want to tweak the pattern again so that the back comes further up, instead of ending at the waist.
