Small headbands and furry hats

Maybe it is Christmas time or then just a feeling that there is plenty of things to do.

I am inspired to a certain degree (always the case when there is no time) and would love to try out various dress designs and other things. When I actually have time to do that remains a mystery. I am eagerly waiting for Christmas Holiday to begin (next week!).

As I said in my previous post I have been busy with commissions. I recently got a commission for full MSD dress set and I have visited fabric stores in order to find some suitable fabrics for it. I did do an extensive cleaning in my fabric box and put all my fabrics in the same place so they would be easy to find. There are so many and I still don't have enough!



Of course I do not feel like sewing all the time. So I wanted to make some more of the headbands. Now in smaller size as the previous ones were all for  SD/Super Gem sized. These three were made for Yo-SD/Tiny but also fit small headed MSDs.

Yesterday I finished one commissioned headband similar to the first design shown in these picture but in white / pale orange colors. So yes, these are available to be commissioned in the colors /sizes you wish for provided that I have the flowers around in that particular color / style.




The first design was sold before I had the chance to post it up in the store, but the other two similar designs will be available through the store.

Some quick pictures of the new furry hats I previously mentioned. There are three designs and they fit for heads 8-9 as well as 9-10 inch. Their insides are lined with japanese pattern fabrics. Strangely enough the animals seem to be straight out from Alice in Wonderland without me noticing it while making them. I guess it isn't very hard to figure out what is one of my favourite stories.. And certainly one of those that inspire me a lot.

Hisa made it back to me. She was having a new face-up with her twin sister Himawari ~ Both of them came back to me, Hisa home and Himawari to visit so I can take lovely twin pictures (Himawari just has to borrow someone's body.. ). They make nice models for the hats, don't you think?

I did make three hats out of the furry fabric until it ran out. However, I was left with tiny pieces and I didn't want them to go to waste. Thus I made a furry collar and an armwarmer for SD/Supergem girls. They are offered as a set. Nice for some winter themed pictures, right?

 Now I am off to update the store so that these new furry wintery items will be available. Thank you for reading!

Commissions

Days are dark, but so far snow has not stayed on the ground.
I hardly have any chances to take pictures so that there would be daylight around.
Thus, my apologies, the pictures are rather dark and bad quality at the moment.
I still feel its better to document with something than be completely without pictures.
Pictures give some life to my dull writings, don't you think?

My models at the moment. Hisa and a new cat hat design and a Soom Migma, nameless girl with lacy choker and headpiece.

Commission: A full white satin dress similar to Soft Peony design.

I have been busy with few commissions. Finished one bunny hat in MSD size, Then got a boost to try one new fabric I recently found (I can never have enough fabrics although I keep saying I won't buy anything more until I have used all I have... ). There, I got a new cat hat design you see on Hisa. Also made another with bunny ears, maybe the third and last (the fabric will only be enough for three SD sized ones..) will have yet another set of animal ears.. Which ones I should choose? Maybe mouse ears or something?

Polkodot skirts - light brown in Supergem size, dark brown in Narae/Unoa size

Completed one Narae/Unoa sized polkadot skirt. The biggest thing was that satin dress. It is lovely though, now I see it completed. All shiny and long. Should perhaps do few more longer dress designs for sale as well.Along with the satin dress I completed one black corset top and black Supergem underwear set. I might be able to get some pictures of them later on. No light to do that now.

Next on the table I have Hisa who would need at least something new to wear for Christmas. Thought I would give it a try out of some nice polkadot fabrics. Accepted a commission of MSD dress set as well. So two projects going on even now. Few weeks till Christmas! I was thinking to do a kind of event but in the middle of everything I don't think I have sufficient time to complete that plan, not for Christmas. But! I didn't say I would give up on the idea. Will keep those plans firmly in my mind~
Now to finish some seams and to start off something new.

Yo-SD/Tiny clothing

I believe I promised pictures of the clothing stuffs as well.
Although I had different sized stuff on my list it seems my pictures include only tiny clothing I made.
It seems I have a period to do something for smaller sizes, so I don't think there will be much SD stuff coming in near future. Probably also because I only have my MSD and Tiny around at the moment.

In these pictures you see Nene, Soom Sammi who recently arrived. I was in need of a tiny model and Soom Ai just didn't seem to work for me. Now I have Nene to try out. I have a special head for her as well, but I haven't gotten around doing the face-up for it just yet. It has been raining a lot. Maybe within two weeks time I might be able to do that..


Knee-lengt Yo-SD/Tiny sized dress

 I have no idea what kind of style I would like for her, but she looks nice with this new dress. Button details in front and corset style details with ribbons at the back along with lace. Nice one ~


The same knee-length tiny dress has interesting details at the back..
With ribbon you can adjust it better ~

The color of the fabric suits her pink skin. I believe I have posted this for sale already so please take a look.

I was suppose to proceed and try some patterns I have, but I didn't get there yet. Instead I ended up drawing a new pattern for a simple Yo-SD/Tiny sized yukata. I received some lovely kimono fabrics as well as lots of polkadot fabrics to try out some plans. Now I think I do have enough fabrics to work on for a while. No fabric orders coming to my way. Well, maybe laces and buttons(!), but still.

Other thing I finished already a while ago. A waist high skirt in tiny size. Previously I mentioned something about doing Mix & Match stuff and this was one of those. I also have one simpler one in SD size once I get it fully finished.

Yo-SD/Tiny Mix & Match Macarons fabric skirt

I have various plans to buy wigs and eyes. I want to use them in the pictures as my girls hardly have any extra ones. Its also nice to change the style from time to time. So maybe later there will be pictures with more effort for display purposes. I would love to develop my skills with photographing dolls. I try to take more innovative shots rather than only head/close-ups. Might consider that as one good promise for next year. As for now I am afraid of those many Winter Events coming around... Already have few I need to consider... But enough of that.

As my last thing here I wish to mention that also bunny hats have gained some recognition :3
Received few commissions regarding them and will start working next week.

New creations

It seems I have been very active lately.
Have to make the stuff when you have an inspiration to do so.
At least now I feel I have some lovely dresses and other things to sell.

Selection of bunny hats in varying sizes: Tiny, SD, MSD, Pullip
There will be six of them (red one not pictured) for sale.

 

SD sized dress w/bunny headdress. Matching set in Tiny size.

 I haven't yet been able to decide who to bring as my model alongside some mannequins to display some of the dresses. Hisa (Volks Lorina) would be the obvious candidate though :) Also considering Enne (my Soom R.Picro) for she is small enough not to take up too much space. 



Again more decisions. But those are about display itself and can wait for a while now. As can be seen this post is mainly to update and show some pictures of what is to come. These has been made so far.

 

I have some old stock I will be bringing up as well, attach labels on them.

 

Down below you will also see a Soom top I made today.

Overall I am pretty pleased how it turned out. The fabric was a bit of a challenge. Had all those nice patterns I wanted to bring forth. Love the fabric and I also got to use some of those nice buttons I previously bought.

 

That is all for now, catch you later!
