Dolls and Crafts: Inspiration

Just a couple days ago, I extended my work area in our bedroom...  It's a small space with just a table and 2 shelves, but I'm decorating it with memories and trinkets that inspire and make me happy.

It is a work in progress, as I love updating it according to my needs.

No matter how big or small it is, I find it good to have one...  Keeps me busy and productive.

This past week I made doll clothes inspired by stock dresses of two Petite Blythes, Kitchen Queen and Itsy Bitsy Ladybug.

 

Darla (Simply Chocolate), Ingrid (Rachael's Ribbon) and Laila (French Trench)

in Petite Blythe Kitchen Queen inspired dresses

The aprons are removable and each have handmade patches and simple embroideries that coordinate with the prints of the fabrics.

 Kitchen Queen - Apple

Kitchen Queen - Flower 

Kitchen Queen - Strawberry

Blanche (Kiss Me True)

Next, I call it The Crafty Ladybug's Souvenir Costume inspired by Petite Blythe Itsy Bitsy Ladybug

The outfit consists of a shirt and a skirt. I crocheted a ladybug hat and made a matching backpack.

Thank you for reading and stay inspired!

Dolls and Sewing: Collecte des Amulettes 2

Hello every one, here is another batch of doll clothes following the same concept as I did from my first.  I like it to be a mixture of modern and vintage.  To make it modern, I chose separates of shirt and skirt.  Then I combined laces, plain fabric with dainty-printed fabric and flowers for a touch of vintage... I also crocheted hats to complete the look.

Dolls and Sewing: Collecte des Amulettes

I'm thinking of having a small sewing space inside of our bedroom so I can still work on my projects while watching our son when he sleeps...  But before that let me share what I've sewn, I made doll clothes combining hand-stamp images with fabric paint, laces and fabrics.  My friend showed me a photo of a dress and she would love to have a similar one for her doll.  I got hooked with the idea so I decided to make more with the same concept.

This is the one my friend liked, the concept is similar with one in the photo she showed me but I have to tweak it with the materials I have.

Then, the following are inspired by the idea...

 

I'm going to make more...  Thanks a lot and have good weekend ahead!
