My attempts at sewing =)

Hi guys! Ok so this past week I have been attempting to sew doll clothes!! What?!?! I know, I've had a bit of spare time on my hands and I really wanted to jazz up my dolls wardrobe because outfits from  AG are cool but you can tell they are from the store/online. And in some ways they are geared towards the younger audience. Not saying that I don't like their outfits, I love them! But I wanted something a bit different. So I went online and downloaded the trendy t-shirt pattern from Liberty Jane. And here are the 3 results that I got :)
Trying to get multiple dolls looking at the camera is a mission. Lol I didn't quite succeed >.<
 First up! I just want to say thank you to the awesome Maddie from DollsOnMyMind for the tutorial on how to make a skater dress! I've been wanting some for my dolls ever since I saw Maddie's dolls in them! Thanks so much Maddie =)



I made this from a top I bought from a thrift store :) It's not perfect but I'm defiantly gonna make more of these and perfect them! Ah I love this dress so much O_o

Next is this crop top. This was what happened when I totally failed at my first attempt of a skater dress. But I managed to salvage the top half and turn it into a crop top :-) I love the groovy flower pattern.


And finally this is what the actual trendy t-shirt is meant to look like :) I really like it. People think that AG dolls don't have a figure as such but I think this top really accents the slight curve in their waist :) Also does anyone remember when the camouflage pattern was in trend? When I was 7 I had these pink camouflage pants and this marble patter on Casaleah's top reminds me of it ;-) I laugh every time I see it.


So that was also another attempt of indoor photography. I'm trying to get better at it but I think I prefer outdoor photography with my dolls. It's more easier to get fun pics :) Oh well practice makes perfect! Have a good one =)

  1. I LOVE those clothes! They all look so awesome. Especially the tshirt. :)
    And I agree - getting multiple dolls to look at the camera at one time is quite the task.

  2. Those all turned t really well - nice work! It's hard to pick a favourite, but if I had to pick one, I think I'd go with the skater dress. :)

  4. More than one doll in a photo is a mission, one that I fail almost every time! Sometimes instead of posing them to look right at the camera I pose them interacting with o e another, which can be a success! My favorite piece is the yellow skater dress, it looks so cute and Isabelle looks really nice in it. Great job!
