Hello and Happy Friday, Internet~Land! I have some new outfits for the Jeri Paper Doll Set as Gift #10. Last night we went to see the new “Mary Poppins Returns.” I’m SUCH a big softy when it comes to all things nostalgic. I know many will think I’m extremely sappy, and I’d have to say I quite agree! I absolutely LOVED it! So, to celebrate my continual inner child, I bring three Poppins inspired outfits along with hats, as well as a couple pair of Christmas PJs. The PDF link below has been updated to include the new designs. On a more somber note, I’m not sure when I will be able to post the last two gifts (though be sure they WILL be posted). We have a family gathering due to the loss of a loved one, so my weekend schedule will be rearranged slightly. Wishing lots of love and Christmas joy to you all ~ I will post again soon!

Jeri Paper Doll

I hope you’re having a wonderful week, friends in Internet~Land! So far, mine has been good, but I’ll admit ~ I’m very tired. Have I actually ever mentioned what I do at work? I can’t remember. Well, I sew upholstery for dental furniture ~ long hours at large industrial sewing machines. I’m very thankful to work at a great place that truly values those who work there. Still, it’s good when I can get myself to bed at an early hour, as my mornings come earlier, still! So ~ before I lay down my sleepy head, I wanted to post today’s Christmas gift. This is another one for the youngsters … or those young at heart! Just click on the Christmas Bear link (underlined) below to open the PDF for saving or printing. I hope the rest of your week is truly lovely!

Hello, Hello, Internet~Land! It’s time for another Christmas surprise. Tonight’s gift is a new set of outfits for the Jeri Paper Doll Set. Now she will be ready to hit the malls in style! My video link below shows the “markers in action” and gives some sneak peaks to video ideas that will be coming soon. Wishing you an awesome week!

Jeri Paper Doll

Hello, hello, Internet~Land! Today’s gift is in response to a request. The new Annora resin BJD by Phyn & Aero is so lovely, but still does not have many fashion choices. I decided to make one of my El Paper Doll gowns into a real pattern for Annora. This couture look was designed from the Basic Pattern Set drafted directly from that doll. When finished, it is a four piece outfit consisting of: 1. Top Dress of sheer fabric with a lined bodice and skirted flounce, and lace embellishments, 2. Decorative Skirt to hang directly underneath the top, 3. Full length Under Skirt, and 4. Tulled Pettycoat. The Basic Set used for drafting can be viewed on my “Free Stuff” page, and that pattern is also available on the “Ready To Print” page as a PDF download. Just click & print!

Happy December 12th, Internet~Land! Today was a very productive day at both work and home. At my job, I was working on standardized work instructions and some documents for a training program we’re drafting. During my breaks, I finished up another surprise for the blog! Today’s gift is none other than Doctor Who’s Suit Coat! So far on my YouTube channel, missysimaginings (what else, right?), we’ve sewn the Doctor’s shirt, pants, vest, shoes, and wig. Now it’s time to finish up his look with the last item for his three-piece-suit. Enjoy, and Happy Christmas!

It’s the tenth, and I have the next surprise for you! It’s been a long day, but I wanted to get this posted before I head off to sleep. Have a SUPER day!

Christmas Elves

Happy Sunday, Internet~Land! Tonight we have another new pattern for you! If Santa’s helpers are going to be putting in overtime at the Workshop, they’ll need some new overalls to stay comfortable and functional! Yep ~ it’s a BJD SD Female pattern for some bib-overalls and a button up shirt! Feel free to enlarge or reduce the size according to your needs. The PDF file will be posted both here (after the video link) and on the “Ready To Print” page. The video this week is sewing together the Christmas Splendor pattern for Evangeline and 50cm Obitsu (also available on the “Ready To Print” page). Enjoy and have a very happy week!

BJD SD Overalls-Top Pattern

Hello, hello, Internet~Land! Tonight’s surprise is something for the youngsters! Here we have a Color-Cut-and-Glue Craft. It’s all the pieces to create a cute little girl & boy all dressed and ready to play in the snow. I always recommended my students color before they cut. That way, going outside lines won’t wrinkle the pieces. Once cut, the pieces can be glued or taped together, but I always liked to assemble them with brads, so the arms and legs can move and be posed. Have fun hanging them on the frig or a window!

Good evening, Internet~Land! It’s time for the second gift of Christmas! This is the Basic Pattern Set for the 56cm Male Vinyl BJD type doll. I’m posting his picture beside the pattern set, so you will have an idea of what kind of doll he is. I really liked his face. I’ve been debating whether or not I will turn him into Naruto. Still undecided. In the mean time, here are some basic pieces for you to come up with your own very cool designs! The FREE PDF Download is already posted on my “Ready To Print” page, so all you have to do is click on that page in the menu tabs at the top, click on the pattern name to open, then print or save. Enjoy & I’ll be back in a couple days with the next surprise!

Welcome, Internet~Land friends, to The Twelve Gifts of Christmas!

Yes, it’s that time of year again, and today we’re starting off the fun with a new Basic Pattern Set! This set is for the 50cm Obitsu vinyl/plastic doll. She is wonderfully poseable, and holds a stance on her metal plate stand with magnets in her feet. With all the pattern sets that have been done for the resin BJDs, I though she was a bit neglected. I do not have a Smart Doll or Dolfie Dream, so I’m not sure about comparing them for sizing. I think they are a bit larger than this gal of mine, so maybe you could simply print out this pattern and then enlarge it a bit to get the pieces to fit. The Obitsu also has a unique figure ~ with a very small bust & waist, and then larger hips and thighs. Be sure to test the pieces on a scrap fabric to see where alterations might be needed for your particular doll. The PDF File is available for you on my “Ready To Print” page, and I’ll add the photo of the pattern after the video link. Happy December and Happy Sewing!
