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

[kCherry]

Cute stuffs, everyone!!! I can't wait to see more! Salli, do feel better soon, Hunny!!!!
Here, haz a happy!

   I made Carol Anne a chic long-sleeve shirt out of a very distressed shirt that I loved literally to pieces! I kept the fabric to re-purpose as it was sooooo soft. I think she likes it! Larkin needs one, too.. Hopefully I'll have the time to finish his today (I'm cranking up the machine for his shirt! ) But, if not today hopefully tomorrow. I still have one more pair of stockings to make and  some leg warmers for Maji. Who knows if I'll ever get around to them, though! I has wa-aaaay too much to do! LOLz

Crappy pictures, but they do get the point across.
(Oh! Look! A Bunny!!! )

And because we couldn't have too many froggy links even if we posted all of them to this thread, here's a different sweater tutorial that I referenced making this shirt,

[kCherry]

that's adorable Cherry!!

  Thanks! I was pleased with it. You know how confident I am in my sewing skills. I love how this challenge keeps me sewing so I have to get better. LOL
 Soooo Verte, where is your shirt to show mine up, huh?!
*pinches BFFs tail and scampers

[Katgyrl]

cute shirt bewilderness! And those socks look great!

That shirt is really cute, cherry! I'll have to go check out that video.

I attempted to use a pattern to make a shirt for my Barbie yesterday, and I failed. I think I might try again and modify the pattern a big to make it easier to work with. Those 1/4 inch seams are just so tiny!

That shirt is really cute, cherry! I'll have to go check out that video.

 Thanks, Katgyrl!! I should have also mentioned that I took LOTS of creative liberties with that tutorial!!

[Salli]

Bewlid and Cherry: those tops are so amazing!!

Thanks everyone for the warm wishes I think that bunny cured me I am feeling TONS better today. Not 100% yet, but I feel that post-super-sick euphoria that makes me almost feel 100% And my bestie is movin back to where I live, that makes me so over the moon.

I also found my camera! (In my sewing box of course  ) so I will try to get pics of socks today. Also, Bewild: Barbie socks for MH or other small dollies are genius!

[kCherry]

Hooray for fluffy bunnies!!! Glad to hear that you are feeling better, Hunny!

  Should have Larkin's shirt done tomorrow, but I had to share; here is a good example of why I always fear using my sewing machine:

ROTFLMAO
I sooooo prefer to sew by hand!! LOL But, I'm going to start using my machine for at least an hour every week (and straight pins!) until we get used to each other! I've had it for over a decade, and it's a great machine. I just have to get over myself and learn to love it. I can do it.. I can do it. I can do it.

[Vertefae]

that is the COOLEST detail I've seen!

What? I actually like the pink safety pin

[Alicat]

Salli, I hope you are getting better!!
Bewildress, Wow!! Cleo looks HAWT! 
Cherry, Oh my!!! I'm loving that!


Ok, so, I was having issues with my BIG 71 cm boy... finding clothes even in his height that would fit wasn't working, so I had the idea of altering baby clothes... GW fashions for my boy yielded more clothes than I spend for one pair of jeans!!

I posted two in BJD doll thread, but here is a new one:

kcherry:  That is so something I would do too! I have to give you props for not breaking your needle sewing over that much safety pin! Seriously, that's mad skill right there. I'm always paranoid just letting my needle hop over a straight pin. The safety pin really is cute, you should leave it in. 

So I attempted to make the sweater from the froggy video (very cool, thanks for sharing by the way!) and I watched it and thought, "oh, easy, I can make that" and then made a sweater for my Barbie, but it wasn't quite working out at the end, so I went back and watched the video again and apparantly I should have payed closer attention because I did all sorts of things wrong! Dumb things that I already know how to do that I just forgot, like cutting the fabric the right way to give the doll stretch, or making sure my collar piece was long enough to go all the way around.  So now that's two shirts down that look pretty crappy. I really need to step up my game and actually pay attention to what I'm doing! 

[Shaiyeh]

so the challenge now is shirt? I totally missed both skirt and stocking, but I actually made a tank top, cardigan and stockings yesterday evening and this morning. so here are piccies
(also the shorts and leggings are self-made but way older)

So I found some more white fleece (thought I was out) and was able to salvage my sweater! *phew* all that work was not for nothing!  My poor girl still needs hair, but it finally came yesterday so hopefully she won't be bald for too much longer.

Now I just need to make her some leggings to go with her sweater!

[kCherry]

Cute, cute, cute you guys!!
  That print adds so much character to your boy, Ali! I soo feel your pain trying to buy/sew for the big dolls!!! And, of course the big babies would be my favorites!

  Shaiyeh that stylish top is way cool!!! I just love the cut!! Really, really sassy! And that cardigan!!! Very nice job on that ensemble.

Yayy katgyrl!!! Glad you persevered!!! Her sweater looks Fabsome!! LOL She looks so nice and cozy! :3

  I spent wa-aaay more time on Larkin's face today then I did his shirt, but he's uber grateful, so it's cool! Glad I had that nifty scarf to hide the overly wide neckline! I learned bunches with this one, boy! LOL
