Yep, Internet~Land, it’s just like the title says. I made up a pattern for some BJD boots. They’re not perfect, just a very happy start. One fella booted, and two more to go. Hopefully, they’ll just get better with practice. Still, all in all, I’m very happy with this first set. I think I’ll also draft up a pattern for some high top tennis shoes. Doctor Who needs his red sneakers! As always, I’ll show the pattern pieces below the video link, and the PDF download is available on the Ready To Print page. Enjoy, and happy sewing!
Good evening, Internet~Land! Thank you for stopping by. This weekend, I have a new sewing tutorial for you. I thought my Evangelines (by Wilde Imagination) needed some attention. Since I’ve been working on so many projects for the larger, 1/3 scale BJDs, my poor Evies have been rather neglected. It’s a shame, too, because they wear clothing so well! I decided to put together one of the patterns I posted in the “Twelve Gifts of Christmas” last year. It’s a fun little short dress, great for an evening party or just relaxing in the attic. It may also fit Ellowyne or the new Phyn & Aero Annora. If you’d like to try it, just pop over to my “Ready To Print” page to download the Free PDF file!
Hi, everybody in Internet~Land! Today I have a new pattern set ready for you. I was watching some BTS dance practice videos, and was inspired by some of the fellas wearing cool Ninja Pants. I thought, “Hey ~ I want to make some of those!” So, I did. I showed the first version of the pants in one video, then tweaked the pattern a bit to make the current sewing tutorial video. Then I added another version of the pants that include some front pleats & back darts. I also included a basic tank-top pattern with a slight racer-back cut. The patterns were drafted to fit my 70cm Resinsoul male body, but there’s plenty of room & length to fit the Ipplehouse EID & SID bodies as well (just use stretchy fabric for the tank top). You could go so many directions with this pattern set, so have fun! A photo of the pattern set is below the video link. Just click on my Ready To Print page for the FREE PDF download!
Howdy, howdy, Internet~Land! I got my video done for sewing together the new gown pattern for the Resinsoul 60cm Female BJD, and will be adding the link as soon as it’s done uploading to YouTube. The dress has a dropped back and cap sleeves over the shoulders with a corset style bodice. I’m really happy with how it turned out, and now have the pattern/instructions available for purchase along with two others (photos after the video link). At present, I only ship to the USA for the printed patterns, but can email the PDF versions. This month, the printed versions will be on sale for $9.50 (shipping to USA included) and the PDF versions will be available for $7.00. Just send me an email order with the pattern you would like to:
missysimaginings@gmail.com
I will send an invoice through PayPal to the email address used. I have 100% positive feedback on eBay, with the username: missyaaster ~ ya, I know it’s a weird username ~ long story. Anyways, I will post photos of the three patterns, and will get that video link posted asap, so you can sew along with me!
Happy day, Internet~Land! I’m feeling quite pleased with myself this weekend. I took Thursday off work, because my daughters & I went up to Portland to see the Jack-Septic-Eye “How Did We Get Here?” tour/show. That meant I had my Friday off as well. Sometimes, when I have extra time off, I just use most of it to rest and “vegetate.” Not so this time! I was able to get TWO videos posted, a new Basic Pattern Set done, AND a new gown pattern for Elliece drafted, cut out, and sewn. The sewing tutorial video has even been filmed; I’m now in the process of editing it. I just love it when I’m productive!
That means an extra post for this fine Labor Day weekend with a FREE pattern set all ready for YOU! I’ll post the overview photo after the video link. If it’s something you’d like, just go to my “Ready To Print” page to download the PDF file. If you haven’t been here in a while, you’ll see I have a couple new Paper Dolls as well. Now I still have Sunday & Monday to enjoy. Wishing you lots of sewing fun & a GREAT weekend!
Howdy once again, Internet~Land! My Elliece’s new faceup is finally done, and I love her new look. The new Resinsoul Mei head in white looks so much better with the rest of the body. It’s actually a little whiter than the body (since it’s brand new & the body is second hand). As of now, she’s in the straight white wig, but that may still change. I’m thinking of looking for a long, straight, grey wig, but not sure yet. I’ve posted a new video showing her faceup process, and I hope it can be helpful to those who are still fairly new (like me) to doing faceups. I had fun designing her face and am now ready to start designing clothes for her. I have already drafted the “Basic Pattern Pieces Set,” though it’s not quite finalized & ready to post yet (next week). I’m also working on the video to design & sew her new gown. So much BJD sewing fun is coming soon! In the meantime, here is her faceup journey. Enjoy!
Hello, hello, Internet~Land! You find me extremely content right now. We were able to finish out the work week with no overtime, so I had my whole Friday at home. I was super happy to get a new paper doll set started (pics after the video link), this new video updating you on some current projects, as well as getting some laundry folded & dispersed. I can’t believe summer is just about to end, and fall is right around the corner! I’m excited about some of the things I want to do this fall & winter. I was going through my notebook of ideas thinking that I hope I have enough time to accomplish all of them! Stay tuned for lots more patterns, paper dolls, tutorials, and other fun dolly items! Now to lay my head to my soft, squishy pillow for some sleep before enjoying the rest of my weekend!
Hello, Internet~Land! Well, we’re back safe & sound from our little trip up north to Seattle, Washington. We drove up to attend “Interactive Introverts” with Dan & Phil from YouTube. It was a really fun trip, and good to get away for a little bit. We also went up to Seattle last December to see Rhett & Link’s “Tour of Mythicality”, but this time we were right down town. We stayed at the Moore Hotel, which is the same building as the Moore Theatre, so it was really fun to look out our window and see Dan & Phil’s tour bus and truck right below us.

Then, after the show, we walked about to look for a good place to have dinner. We ate at a great Vietnamese restaurant, and enjoyed pho with fresh red basil. It was also served with some little sliced peppers, and I made the mistake of tasting one ~ WOW! My lips and tongue burned for the next half hour! I think it was just supposed to go in the soup to add flavor. Lesson learned! Once dinner was done, we walked down towards the famous Pike’s Market and were pleased to find The Purple Store!
I bought a hand-tie-dyed t-shirt with the store logo that is featured on their home page. Check it out for all-things-purple! All in all, it was both a fun and relaxing trip … but then again, I didn’t have to drive. I was free to sight see as my daughter endured the freeway traffic ~ magnificently, I might add. While watching the scenery pass by, I was very disturbed to see the trees full of GIANT spider webs!!! I tried to take photos, but it’s hard at 70 miles an hour. In any event, I’ll post the best one, so you can get chills as well! The webs are in the left side of the photo … ewwww …
I guess that brings us to the end of my update. I’ll close by letting you know I posted a new video and a new little pattern on the “Ready To Print” page. The video is a pants sewing tutorial, and the pattern is for making a variety of sizes of fashion doll stockings (image shown after the video link). Enjoy, and here’s wishing you a great remainder of your weekend!
Greetings & Salutations, Internet~Land! I hope this post finds you all happy & healthy! We are enjoying a bit of anticipation, as we are about to make a short trip up north to Seattle! We have had this planned for a long time, but I didn’t want you to be neglected while we were away. 🙂 So ~ I have a new set of paper doll outfits ready for you. These will fit my latest paper doll, Mae. Her complete collection can be viewed on the “Free Stuff” page, and I have already updated the PDF file on the “Ready To Print” page. When opened, you will find the doll and all her outfits in the file. I also recorded a video drawing this set. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!
Howdy, howdy, friends in Internet~Land! This has been an interesting week. I was finally able to have my industrial sewing machine delivered to my house. Once here, it was time to clean it up and get it running. All was well until the motor decided to seize up and fill my garage with smoke! Well, no worries ~ it came with an extra motor. And as I seem to be classified as “dauntless,” I decided to switch it out myself (with a little help from my girls). So come along as we get it ready to sew!
