Tiny tiny yukata time

I was travelling during the weekend.
Therefore was not able to complete much, but at least I got something done.
One evening I got a boost to test those new japanese fabrics I previously mentioned. What would be a better way to try them out than to make something useful? Nene was indirectly in need of a Kimono/Yukata so that she would have something for the teaparty shoot I have been planning to do at some point. So, the idea developed into this: 
Yukata and Yo-SD/Tiny headpiece photographed together
The lovely picture here is taken by my friend Idaheika. I cannot take many of my own at the moment since I go home too late for there to be any daylight. But! Isn't it lovely how well the yukata goes with the flowery headpiece? New headpieces will be posted for sale at later stage when I get proper pictures of them. They are more simpler in design than those I made out of roses before. So, something new again.

Currently I am working on one commission - An MSD Bunny hat. Other possible commissions include a long satin dress, bra set for supergem and a corset top all in black. As I usually use bright and flowery fabrics (that is what these japanese fabrics are..) it feels different to use dark colors for a change. Previously I used to make a lot of dark clothing for Aya [CP DES], but currently as said, I have moved to these bright flowery fabrics. So, will see how those pieces will turn out. I promise more pictures once these new pieces have been completed. Also, I have been lazy with that SD macarons skirt. Having some issues with Hisa's style although that shouldn't prevent me from finishing that one...

Fabric news

Just when I made a decision not to buy any new fabrics..
Apparently as soon as you decide not to do something the temptation increases considerably.
So, I ended up ordering some fabrics from Japan just to have a proper stock from which to do stuffs.
Now I cannot really justify any more. Have to start using all the lovely stuff I have gathered.
Some of the new fabrics that are coming...

I cannot quite believe its November already.
Christmas is coming soon. I have been wishing to buy some Christmas theme laces and ribbons, but their usage time is so short in comparison. Although I don't mean to say that Christmas themed clothing shouldn't be used on other times as well, especially when they are lovely.

My point is that I think I will try to keep away from totally Christmas themed clothing (keep such things on commission base only.. So you may ask if interested of course :3) and instead offer new stuffs for Mix & Match.

About my models (my own dolls). MNF Siean Elf face-up is completed and now she would need a body. Then I will have a model for MNF/Unoa sized clothing and hopefully will be able to offer such things at the beginning of next year.

I also feel I have been able to find a tiny that seems to work for me. Soom Sammi she is. Named Nene just recently. Probably will post few pictures of her modelling the tiny skirt + an underskirt I plan to make. Baby pink skin color is interestingly different, which is why I think she might stick around at least longer than other tinies. I admit I do have a difficulty with tiny sized dolls. Small as they are.. and I prefer more mature girls.. So lets keep fingers crossed for Nene.

For the coming weekend I have plans to complete / make this and that so I hope I have some pictures to share after those few days of intensive sewing. So please keep checking back.

HINT: There might also be a small giveaway of some of the old clothing stock I have around but as I have not done giveaways before this still needs some planning. There is no guarantee such will happen in time for Christmas but that will be seen. Other possible option is a random clothing gift for all those who buy during December...
Oh the plans! And I have to get some nice paper...
