More Sewing...

Found another dress pattern online and made this dress...

The dress looks good on my wine bottle model Spinelly, but I really wish she had legs to show it off properly. Can't wait to see it on an actual doll :D

The first picture is the dress from the front. It's strapless, and about knee length. Now keep in mind these dolls are not quite as unrealistic as "Little Barbara" and all (you KNOW who I'm talking about), but they are still not the average girl. They have really lean bodies, with really long legs, that show off the short dresses and big boots really well.

Now the second picture is the back view of the dress, and as you can see, it has metal eyelets and it's laced with ribbon :o)

I am really happy with how this dress turned out, considering it was my first attempt at the pattern, and my first attempt at drafting a simple pattern with just the measurements of the doll.

Which reminds me, I should get a shipping notice for my doll somewhere between the 14th and the 21st of May!!!! So another 6-13 days approximately!!! Ohmygawd! I can't wait :o) I don't even have a name for her yet. I should take a poll on Facebook or something :oD

Sewing and Crafts....

Ok so it's been a little while again. I've been busy though!
Lets see. I've listed a lot of stuff on my Etsy since last time I was here. I've also been working on some patterns and things.

Things all started with this bustier. I love that fabric, but for some reason no one knows the name of it or who makes it :o) If you do, PLEASE email me and tell me :o) PLEASE :o) I'm begging :o)
Anyway, I love the shape of the bustier, and my Metallica Needle did a great job adding detail with that double stitching... and yes... the needle IS called a Metallica needle. That's the name of it lol If you don't believe me I could post a picture sometime lol

Ok now keep in mind both of my digital cameras have been acting up lately, and I don't have the means to buy my Cannon DSLR at this time :o) so I have to work with what I have.

Now having said that, here's a picture of the bustier, along with matching BLACK skirt (not green), being modeled on Spinelli, my faithful model (a bottle of wine I got for my birthday, which is now empty, and very useful!).

As you can see, I put metal eyelets on the bustier, and laced it with burgundy ribbon. I quite like it. And the shape is amazing. I can only hope it fits the doll cause I love these little bustiers.
