*steams*

Recently I got a huge pile of commissions, they kept adding up because I had a little pause with my sewing machine – but now my loyal PFAFF is all set up and I’ve managed to do things out of the way. This is really something I enjoy, being able to make stuff with my hands, and I have this distant dream of being able to be able to support myself with doll crafts, even part-time. It might be impossible, but hey, BJD fandom is growing all the time and being able to go international…it might work out. And what is life without having silly dreams? I remember the time when I dreamt of nothing, and it was nothing that I enjoyed.

Okay, let’s stop the babble and show pictures. I hope you’re not bored of my crafts, because here we go again :3

Let's go alpaca

This one is a favourite, because it’s for a friend who really likes alpacas so I made an alpaca hat! I saw real alpacas at the fair on Sunday and looked through many alpaca yarns. They were just on the expensive side, I know a place where you can get them cheaper ;3 This hat is of course made of alpaca yarn, it’s my favourite kind of yarns. Smooth, somehow slick, thin and it makes excellent doll knittings!

Brocade

A brocade shirt for a Delf boy. Once you hemmed the edges of the pieces, it was really nice to sew. Brocade frays like there is no tomorrow! But it’s quite thick and easy to handle and press. This made me think of getting a serger, I’m sure it would have been great here. I’ll probably buy a serger one day when I have the funds, I have a great sewing machine but I’m sure serger would help a lot :3

Matroshkas

And this is for myself! I really felt like making a dress, and I’m proud of this one because I made the pattern myself with the loyal help of tissue paper and masking tape. Sorry that her wig is so messy on the pic! I really love the fabric, it has tiny matroshkas on it. Yes, I was on Etsy again and found a seller with little scrap bags of Japanese fabrics. This one is a favourite but I got also some great floral prints and other cute stuff, about 10 different designs all big enough for a single Pukifee dress for 4 dollars *3*

Ooops, sorry that I blabbered so much.
