Doll clothing self-challenge: Clothing Storage (pg. 21)

[jennovazombie]

I actually just got some Monster High dolls last night, and I'm itching to make clothes for them! I'll join!

[Angellove]

I would love to be in on this.

[Loona]

I love the idea, and I would so love to join this! but only after Christmas - the reason is somewhat the same as that of Dawn, except I won't actually be getting a sewing machine but I will get my mother's old sewing machine repaired and brought here. I can't wait, I have a Moxie Teen and a Girl who are in serious need of clothes, and since the latter arrived (just two days ago) I have been thinking of possible outfits to (try to) sew her once the sewing machine will be here.

I think it would be awesome to do an interpretive challenge.  Say the project is a trenchcoat, and then all the Pullip owners show theirs as well as the Barbie peeps and the Puki peeps and the AG folks and whatever else.

[Gingerbread]

I'll be following Is it OK to alter clothes to fit rather than make from scratch?

[lolaandbean]

I love this idea. Anything to get me motivated to make clothes for my Blythes/MHs.

Not only is it okay to alter clothes but like in the furniture challenge, you don't have to make them at all, you can make or acquire (trade/buy/etc) the clothes. It's just to help us focus and get things one by one instead of feeling overwhelmed by all the stuff we need.

Anyway, I think I will get the ball rolling but give a week and a half for the first challenge.

Okay, skirt time! I am going to use a modified version of this pattern

Spoiler

on this page, scroll down until you see the thumbnail of the pattern http://www.monsterhighdolls.com/forum/topics/monster-high-doll-clothes-patterns

for my MH girls and a self-made pattern for my Tonner girl.

I may also try to make my poodle skirt I have the stuff for for my Bee girl and my Sea Monster's pleated skirt. We'll see if that's biting off more than I can chew while I have ponies I am working on. My bare-minimum plan is to do at least one basic black skirt for both sizes.

Feel free to use a sock, they make great skirts. Or for a full skirt some ruffled fabric is fun

[lovesbabysquirmy]

So any style of skirt?  We're not going to specify a cut or details that must be added (pockets, waistband)?

[NovelNerd]

I'm so all over this! I've actually been trying to do a skirt anyway. Are there any decent tutorials for attaching a skirt to a top or sleeves to a top? I'm having issues.

[Maniah]

I'm really happy to join in on this also as time allows! Especially if it means sharing patterns and tips and I have been working on a skirt pattern of my own too. It's super simple but for me it's a first.

[skyrocketneko]

I want to too!  I've been thinking about making something new for one of my ladies!

Any kind of skirt you want, it's a self-challenge, so feel free to post whatever you are challenging yourself to do.

Maddie: I just ladder stitch them together, but I am awful at describing things as you well know anyone else know of one?

[NovelNerd]

Hehe I'm probably going to pm you some questions when I do get home anyway Salli. Poor Dorrie has been trying to help me, but I know she is under the weather.

[jennovazombie]

Well here's my skirt so far, I had started one the other day and did the main sewing today. It has an elastic top, I'll probably make some ruffles for it too. It seems kind of plain right now.

I think my camera's focus thing broke when I dropped it the other day, sorry it's blurry.

Also, Home Sew sells packs of underwear elastics, they are perfect for dolls! I made a little tube bra out of some for this pic.

[Repulsive333]

oooo okay i am so joining this... I will have the skirt done by tomorrow.

Thanks Salli for this challenge.


Umm that took way less time than i thought... Here is a photo of the skirt i just made! <3
