12 Gifts of Christmas 2024 ~ #1

Hello, hello, and Happy December! Boy, this year the holidays came very quickly, and I wasn’t quite prepared! Please be patient as I work to get all twelve gifts ready to post here on the site. I have the design sketches done and am very excited about this collection. The first is the Gingerbread Girl design for third scale BJDs. The pattern for the leotard was a request from someone in our community, and I thought it would be really fun to incorporate it into our holiday set. So, without further ado, allow me to present the first pattern gift of 2024!

Adding and Upgrading to my Crew

Hello, hello! I hope you are well here at the end of November. I was fortunate to win a new Switch BJD Humming 65Body, and want to see how it compares to the MiroDoll bodies I already have. I hope this look at new/used pricing and brand comparison will be helpful to those who might be new in the hobby. Let’s go!

7 COATS ~ PINK OUTFIT

Hello, dear Internet~Land! It’s time to finish up our 7 Coats ~ 7 Colors Series. Overall, I am quite happy with how this collection turned out. It’s so satisfying to travel from an idea to a completed project. I hope you’ve also enjoyed this series and will have much success as you sew for your own dolly clan! Enjoy!

7 COATS ~ PURPLE OUTFIT

Greetings! Here is outfit number six, the Purple Coat set. This one features a fitted, cropped coat with a front zipper opening and front decorative tabs on either side as well as the sleeve cuffs. I’m very happy with how it turned out, so let’s take a look at how it goes together.

7 COATS ~ BLUE OUTFIT

Hello, dear Internet~Land! We’re now moving on to sewing the BLUE Coat Set. I had fun on this one, but it is quite a bit more detailed with the four pockets on the front and the addition of beltloops to the waistband on the pants. The video is quite a bit longer, but hopefully you will find it helpful.

7 COATS ~ GREEN OUTFIT

Hello, dear Internet~Land! It’s now time to complete the fourth outfit in the 7 Coats ~ 7 Colors Pattern Collection. This coat will have more of a sport coat cut, but we’ve added some fun new details to the design. The back and sleeves will feature inset pleats, and the lapel will have fixed loops to hold a lovely honey bee pin!

7 Coats ~ YELLOW Outfit

Hello, hello, dear Internet~Land! Here we have the video tutorial for putting together the Yellow Coat outfit. Since we’ve already sewn the T-shirt and pants twice, we won’t spend as much time on those items. This video will focus more on the steps involved in sewing the coat and cap for this set. I’m still working on the 1/4 scale pattern set, so thank you sooooo much for your patience as I get it completed. Enjoy!

7 Coats ~ ORANGE Outfit

Hello, hello, dear Internet~Land! It’s time to move on to the next coat in our series. This will be the ORANGE coat outfit for Suga. It’s a longer length coat with front & back yoke pieces, an Oxford pleated back, front patch pockets, and cuffed sleeves. The loose fitted T-shirt is from the same pieces as the one in the previous post/video, and the set is finished out with a pair of faux leather, zipper-legged pants. I will link the pattern sets in both 1/3 and 1/6 scale below. Enjoy!
