Clothes for those cute dollies

Sat, 31 Jan 2009 19:23:00 -0500

I've so enjoyed making these little outfits for the Blythe and Pullip Girls. Resizing the Barbie//Gene or Lil Miss Revlon Patterns work well for them, and produce great results. There sooooo cute! I love a real challenge when sewing, so using those japanese pattern books, with all the information in japanese, was like putting together one of those tiny 50 peice puzzles. You can't believe you actually did it when you're done.

This is from one of the pattern books. Don't you just love the little bow! So Cute.

This pattern is here in the library - it's a lil miss revlon pattern resized to fit Blythe, or should I say Violet.

What's Your Favorite Doll Pattern

Gather round the table, and tell us- what's YOUR favorite Doll pattern? Tell us, tell us!

Me first, me first. I've used many patterns, and I actually like non-commercial patterns the best. One of my favorites was found in an old book; I made quite a few dolls from the book, some were sent with a missionary to Africa. Here's 2, a pigtail doll, and a costume doll.

Her tunic was draped on her. Tiny stitches were used to make her face.

And my pigtail doll, was made for my daughters; when they got older, she came back to me.

So add your comments, and let us know - what your favorite pattern is, was!

African Doll

Wanna learn to make this doll? Send me an email, and I'll tell you how! She's a beautiful African Queen. My sister commissioned this one as an award that was given at a Women's dinner. It was quite a while ago.

I chopped the recipient out, because the doll is important!! View the another version of this doll in my gallery. She's quite a unique doll, her body is a wood block, and she even has sandals made of cardboard.

So that's it for today. If you'd like to learn how to make her, pop me an email for instructions.
