Fabric Incoming and BJD Meet Up



I have an order of fabric due for delivery today! Hopefully, these will inspire me to start sewing for my etsy shop more.

Lately, I have been crocheting...a lot. I really enjoy it though as it's not as noisy and is much more forgiving than sewing.

The order of fabric today includes some cute heart print and some star print fabrics. I picked up a sweater knit in black and grey and some really cute dot prints in black and pink. Lastly, I couldn't resist buying more ruffle knits in white, cream, and purple.


I really liked the black ruffle knit I ordered last time and actually made an adorable Minifee skirt out of that fabric. Later, I saw a skirt in one of my mail order fashion catalogs that was just like it only in my size!

Tomorrow, I am going to a BJD meet up. I haven't been to one since the last convention I attended in October so I'm really excited to see everyone again and meet some new BJD owners.

I am bringing my two new additions: Minifee Chloe and Littlefee Chiwoo, along with Volks Nana and Littlefee Piki. I think that's all that I'll be able to fit in my SD carrier bag and carry around the event comfortably.

There are lots of sheep hats and other crochet hats that will be going up on the etsy store this weekend. More clothing will hopefully be coming starting next week.

Thanks everyone!

Work in Progress



I spent some time in between commissions this week to work on making my lamb hats in SD size. I've had a ton of requests for these so I figured I better get to it.


My girl has a HUGE head but it should be very easy to make these for a 8-9 head. Her head is a 9.5".


I started to sew on the face but didn't make it all the way around yet. I also have the ears just sitting up there on the hat, not sewn on.


I will totally finish this tomorrow but it's getting late here and I'm all tired out. Night everyone!

What's Coming Next


Bet you didn't know that I recently took up heirloom style sewing for BJDs. I haven't had a chance to put any of the outfits I've made on etsy yet because I've been keeping busy with so many other things like commissions and crocheting.

I only took one photo of one of my heirloom creations and it's only from the lower bust up. Maybe I'll get a chance to take a more detailed photo later.

I really love sewing with knits but lately that heirloom batiste and those delicate laces have been calling out to me to create something beautiful.

Until next time...
