I sew alot of stuff for my dolls and have made a few things that I'm pretty proud of. Please, if you sew or craft, share the things you've made, with me. :3

I personally make fur wigs, sew clothing, make sandals, and am currently working on a slipcover pattern for (stuffed)doll chairs. Since I'd rather not spam with a ton of photos, please, if you like, click the various links to see the results. :3

And, the only photo I'll post directly, the infamous Panda Outfit:

Ahahaha Panda outfit. Raz loves that outfit so much. especially when Kiri's inside it XDD

I've really not made too much to date, myself, but I'm really looking forward to making a kimono for Raz. I have the perfect-patterned fabric for it, and I'm going to try for things like tee shirts and jeans for him.

I sew like crazy. I like making whole outfits the best, but I must admit I've been slacking lately. I've almost finished a lovely gothic-loli outfit for my girls, and have plans for the next outfit. I also have to make some fur wigs in the next few days. I also like making furniture, bedding, accessories, and jewelry for my dolls. My next big project is to help teach my brother to sew for his ladies. pirate

i like sewing for my dollies too but it takes me a while to get on the ball and get things done. i've made some clothes, a couch, bar stools, and little pets for Evette and Trevor. Evette also has a bed (matches the couch) but its not completely finished...the leg keeps falling off. ^^; i finished her rennaissance dress and i'm in loves with it...miss allister helped me with some of the harder parts where i needed a sewing machine. my future project is to make a fitted matress and comforter set for the doll bed i'm going to try and sell. i don't have any piccys to post just yet though. sweatdrop

I'll be making my first attempt at doll furniture with the help of Miss Allister later this month. :3 I'm gonna be re-covering two chairs, making matching ottomans, and a matching slipcover for a fainting couch, as well as some throw pillows.

So, I went to sew a shirt for Italinese's Luci, and discovered that I've completely misplaced all my shirt patterns. gonk I was able to re-draft a pattern in MSD size because I had a modified one on hand, but I need it SD sized again. sweatdrop Thing is, I can't remember what site I got my original off of. Anyone else have a clue? It was just a simple t-shirt.

no idea, sorry. and you still haven't sent me any of the patterns you modified that i liked.. are you still sewing by hand? you've gotten so good! i thought you'd bought that black shirt. xD

i do sew and design, rorek has pants and pajamas i made for ro before she moved away. i've done stuff for my kids, but i can't find my camera's usb cord. again.

on a different note, mom gave me two kinds of silver fabric left over from moose's sophomore year military ball dress and bea wants me to make her and larxene matching ballet/loli dresses from it. my question is, do you think hobby lobby would have silver or grey tulle? i need something to floof-i-fy the skirts so i'm not hand gathering satin for hours and hours like i did on larxene's bikini.. that she never wears. X.x

Yep I'm still sewing exclusively by hand. I'm a little machine shy. I'd prefer to sew by machine for SD+ clothes but for minis and smaller I do it all by hand, as a rule.

Well I have a ton of patterns now and I have no idea what patterns you are referring too. eek

As I said over in Texan Marshmallow Pirates, in regards to the tulle, I think you could get it at Hobby Lobby, and I'm positive you could get it at Michaels.

I think I need to be more patent when sewing. Often times I end up rushing through a project and when it goes wrong I get frustrated. Also my cheap sewing machine doesn't help much either.

I have made necklaces for my dolls that have turned out well. Nothing too complicated, small beads and little charms. I'm hoping to learn to knit this fall. I seem to be better with things like needlepoint and such.

I love making doll jewelry. I've only just set up a couple of chains so far, for charms that my friends gave me. Knitting is beyond me. I understand the concept but I tried to learn when I was little, and didn't care for it. So, I stick with sewing now. :3

I'm awful with sewing... I'll probably end up bumming clothes of friends and grandparents...
My friend's in sewing and learning how to make clothes. Maybe if she can learn how to do it in doll sizes I can convince *coughbribecough* her to make some...

i'm quoting a pm i sent to rorek. any help at all would be appreciated. i have Bee-a, Too, Camine, and E-an, and i need patterns.
me
so i know i asked you this before, but i finally found my sewing stuff and installed the printer drivers in the laptop, so i wondered if you:

1) have any cute DoC sized patterns (anything at all!)
2) know anyone with DoT size patterns (again, anything)
or 3) know where i can find them.

Larxene wants skirts and i can handle them fine by modding DoC patterns, but i need a DoT size kimono pattern to mod for Orlando. i have a DoC pants pattern i can use to make stuff for Vivi and Bea, but i have no patterns for boy's shirts in either size. i tend to get all ADD any time i try to search for them. also, underpants.. any ideas? Bea has the Hello Kitty panties from F2BM, Vivi too, and i have a pattern for boxers i could probably enlarge for Orlando, but Larxene is totally underpants-less. and she'll need some for her skirts.

yeah any help you can give with this stuff would be great. xD thaaaaanks!

Don't kill me I'm new.
Just trying to jump into the conversation.
This is the first and only thing I have made for my boy Gabriel since he came home.
It took about 20ft of silver wire and countless hours.
I am not quite sure if I will ever do chainmail that way again.

That belt is wicked cool. And I don't think anyone's gonna jump down your throat, because even though the last post was a bit ago, you did actually contribute to the thread. 3nodding
