I’m getting back into making things for dolls and the reasons I quit are all coming back to me, lol! It’s been a frustrating few projects, but I think things are turning out pretty okay! Here are my recent projects:
A denim jacket based on a vintage Skipper pattern. I also made the skirt (terribly - the fabric was way too thick), based on a pattern from Beth Ramsden.
A corset and skirt. The corset pattern is also from Beth Ramsden (though I didn’t follow the instructions completely), and the skirt is just a circle skirt with no pattern.
Fun stuff!
I love the “seams” on the denim jacket. Faux, right? Great idea and neat execution.

Yes, they’re faux seams. They were part of the original pattern and I thought it was such a cute idea. It certainly made construction a lot easier! Though it still took way longer than I expected to make.
Goodness, I tried my hand at some small dolls clothes (Monster High) and its more difficult that I thought it would be,. So fiddly and tiny! I LOVE that jean jacket! And the corset fits perfectly. The coffin skirt is cool too. The sequence dress is very pretty.
Making clothes for my Blythe is on the backburner in my mind. I eventually want to take her geocaching with me and pose her next to some of the fun caches I find.
My fav of yours is the rainbow summer dress! The colors, the um… ruffley thingies… I can’t think of what they’re called, and the teensy belt make for a great dress. I would wear it.
These all look so great! I love how the jacket turned out, and the rainbow dress looks so cute with the little white belt and checkered shoes. Your dolls are lovely too, I love the poofy blue hair!

Oh my gosh, thanks for all the kindness, everyone!
I’m planning some more outfits. My mom got a few dolls, too, and now we’re both making stuff. As my cycle goes, it’s quickly becoming my new craft problem!

Oooh, definitely share pics if you take her geocaching! That would be so fun and has so much epic photo potential! I’m figuring out my photo situation. I was too tired and impatient to set up scenes this time, but hope to do that when it’s not literally 8 degrees outside.
