Hello lovelies!
Yesterday, I was able to do some sewing for the dolls. I ordered three factory Blythe last week for my nieces - Summer, Snow and Aila. And knowing that these dolls will arrive naked, I thought of sewing some clothes for them. Also, my cousin, Hazel, has been bugging me to sew some panties for her dolls too. So I started yesterday with the undies.
I watched a tutorial in YouTube on a very easy and simple panty pattern. Just trace the stock panty on a cardboard or paper and you will have a pattern. It was not that simple though. I did it then sew one panty based on the pattern and it turned out big. So I made some adjustments just to see how it will fit. And as I adjusted the panty, I adjusted my pattern too. Then I made another one and it fits perfectly. I made 5 with gray cloth aside from the prototype.
That panty was easy because you just need to sew the sides to connect the front and back. No sewing was necessary for the waist or leg holes. Undies of some recently released Blythe dolls are just like that. Just find a stretchable cloth, cut the pattern and sew the sides. So simple and easy. The cloth I used for the panties is from a real panty. It is new of course. Before the pandemic, whenever I go to the market, I look for cute panties with dainty designs. I have collected about 10 panties with stripes and little flowers on them. The colors are lovely too.
After the undies, I made a simple dress based on the pattern I got from the tutorial video of Creative 404 in YouTube. It was perfect for a stock Blythe body and for a Momoko doll although a bit short. But it is a little tight on top for an obitsu body with a bit of a bust. I might have to make some adjustments with that.
I am quite happy with what I have accomplished yesterday. What creative endeavor did you do last weekend? Share it with me in the comment section below. :)
XOXO,
Ails
