As soon as my fingers warm up a bit (the downside to living here is that the building seems to hold more cold and damp than anywhere else!) I’ll try to finish up my mini sewing projects. After that I’ll snap some pictures…
So look for an update a bit later!

I have been sewing but not as prolifically as I’d like.
Hopefully I’ll be well enough later this week to take better pics. (I need to take pics of the outfits I’ve made)
But just to show that I’ve been doing something….here’s a picture of Sonia.
Next time I try making it I think I can safely say [...]

Well the mini-heatwave we’ve been having means that my original plan for the day (baking cinnamon rolls from scratch to bring to work tomorrow) has been canned. Too freakin’ hot for that!
Instead I’ve done the following:(more pics to follow a bit later)
Continued working on the pole dancing (woo sexy shoes!) shoes/boot feet for the [...]

Why do I sew?
I find sewing is usually an exercise in frustration, trial & error and eventual triumph. That said, I can’t say that the actual act of sewing is much fun for me. But the end results can be.
I sew for usually 2 or 3 reasons.
They are:
1) what I want to dress a figure [...]

I realized I neglected to post about them– so here they are.
As you can tell I’m still trying to work out patterns for the Cy Girl 2.0 body. These aren’t fantastic, but I think they’re a step in the right direction (ie not all cy girls will have to wear pleather or ken clothes)
as usual–click [...]

Yes.
I did.
*sigh*
maybe tomorrow will go better….
here’s a quick picture of the orange couch. Yea, I know its crap and you can see all the joins–but cut me some slack. It _was_ my first attempt and I didn’t know how I was going to do it until I had carpet adhesive all over me and stuck [...]

A couple days ago (–maybe last weekend even?) I managed to paint 2 of the PB heads that I bought on ebay a while back. I had painted them but one was cross-eyed and the other just didn’t look right so I ended up wiping their faces and trying again. I can definitely say they [...]

Pictures are in this post! ;P
It took me forever to actually do anything with picts. The biggest factor in delaying me was my propensity to trip over stuff in the room. Rather than break anything again (ie. the futon has been repaired now!) I got side-tracked into cleaning/re-organizing the crap in the doll area! (re-ment in boxes, fabric in boxes [...]

Last weekend(sunday) I managed to actually sit down and try to sew a pair of jeans for Merrit. They came out…ok, but I made a lot of mistakes with them (one being that they are too high in the waist/hip).
I want to try making another pair with the corrections they need, but it will have [...]

SO….I offered to help with showing what darts are…with regards to sewing. And sort of to explain how adding darts can help make a garment more fitted to the doll or action figure (or person!) ;)
I’ll do my best to explain, but since I’m self taught and err..tend to make it up as I go along I’m not [...]

Here’s the gown that I have sent out as a trade with one of the folks from Fantasy Net… It’s loosely (very loosely) based on a cotehardie. This one consists of the overgown and an undergown (the pink bit). I used some old xmas ribbon (*cut off the sides and used that*) to make the [...]

I spent yesterday finishing up medieval dress ~2. And I was lucky enough to use the neighbor’s garden for a few shots (whata wonderful difference!!). So I am resizing all the picts now…will have them up shortly I think!
Medieval Dress #2… a different style (and again, not particularly accurate as far as design/pattern goes, but what the heck?)
PC [...]

This was done as a trade with one of the friendly folk from Fantasy Net…I hope he likes it!
EDIT (8-23-07): :oops: D’oh!!! I messed up! He wanted a dress to fit CY girls….I guess I’ll be sewing again today!!
My old Lea is modeling it (and having a bad hair day as well) I had considered [...]

For someone who’s self-taught when it comes to sewing, I have to say that I do, occassionally have my moments. Now, to be honest–I don’t much like sewing. Probably because my knowledge of it is limited.
Having said that, I do like sewing when I can make an outfit that matches what I see in my [...]

Ok, today is a day for me to write the script for episode 3 (and maybe even 4). I’ll do that, come up with a basic story board and see what I need to make in order to shoot it.
I know I’ll need some furniture I haven’t made yet, but I think writing it will [...]

Without further ado…here’s Alison’s bed!
The comforter is reversible, the sheets are a copper rayon.

I’m going to make a new set of blankets and sheets for it, but I think for the moment the combination looks ok…..
