I know I said I’d post some photos today of some of the things I have been working on sewing. 
At the moment I’m kind of in a swing with sewing and don’t want to have to take the time to do a set-up and lots of detailed pics….So right now, you get the bare minimum. Snap shots… (Tomorrow, I’ll take shots of all the outfits & their associated figures. Really!)
Merrit, because he’s the reason I am sewing to begin with:
I am having problems getting his t-shirts to come out the way I want them to. It’s the collar that’s giving me trouble. Somehow or another it’s ending up…well….too large for the area. I’m considering that it may be a problem with any of the following (but I don’t know since i make it all up as I go along)…
- the pattern. I may need to alter it to make the neck opening smaller.
- It could also be that I need to add some form of stabilizer to it before I try sewing the neckband in. Who knows?
- could be the fabric. it stretches. maybe. but I doubt it.

Anyway, I also mentioned the other day, that I crocheted some half assed scarves for Raven. Here’s a pic. Along with a pair of striped leggings I made her.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I do a lot of custom sewing for myself and others, and have just discovered the world of 1/6. I wanted to offer a suggestion re: the T-shirt neckband. On human size T-shirts the neckband is actually smaller than the neck opening, and is stretched slightly to fit while sewing in place. This allows the neckband to lie flatter, as the “inner” edge ends up being smaller than the edge which is stitched to the shirt.
Alison thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my blog!
I appreciate it–and even more I really am grateful for the neckline advice. I’ll try that the next time I can force myself to sit and sew for a bit!
WELCOME to the wonderful (IMO) world of 1:6!
I think its a wonderful hobby scale and unfortunate that it seems to be overlooked by the world at large. 
If I can ever give you some help or information don’t hesitate to ask
