Hello, Internet~Land. I hope you are well tonight as we take a look at the last step of our project. In this video we’ll put together the lace overlay top as well as a pearl necklace and a satin drawstring bag to match the gown. Let me know if you enjoy this type of project ~ one with several installments, and maybe we’ll see what else we can create in kind. Enjoy!

Greetings, dear Internet~Land! Thank you so much for stopping by today to join this next step in our journey. I am really enjoying how this outfit is coming along. In this video we will sew the actual gown. When I checked over the instructions, I found this would also include the lace skirt overlay. I had previously thought that would be a separate piece, so lets take a look at how it fits together.

Hello, dear Internet~Land! Here is the second step in our project to put together a BJD fashion outfit from 1892. In this video we’ll work on sewing the petticoat skirt using two different methods. That way you can see which type of pattern pieces you would prefer using. Enjoy!

Greetings, dear Internet~Land! I hope you are all well and safe as we continue our journey in the beginnings of 2024. In this video I will be trying something a bit new for me. Instead of designing a new pattern, I am going to sew someone else’s. The design of this gown is a lovely look from the 1800s. When it arrived, I anxiously looked over all the instructions and pieces. I think I can do this! The finished outfit will consist of five garments: a combination underwear item, a petticoat skirt, a gown, an over-skirt, and an over-bodice. For good measure, I’ll also be adding a hat to the outfit that I purchased from a wonderful creator at my Wagon Wheel Doller Doll Show. (Our next show is the 23rd of this month.) I’ve also added the images and PDF file for the “Doll Measurements Chart” below the video link. If this project sounds like something you would enjoy, grab a snack and a beverage and let’s get started!

Hello again, Internet~Land! I decided to put together a cute soft sculpted doll chair. This will fit 1/4 to 1/3 scale dolls, and all in all I think it turned out pretty cute. Hope it inspires you to try something that might be a new adventure!

Hello, hello! I hope you’re all well. Let’s just take a few minutes to spend some comical time together!

Hello, dear Internet~Land! Tonight we’re going to go through the process of altering an already existing pattern to create a new design. Someone in one of my facebook groups is working on designing an outfit from an anime called Howl’s Moving Castle. It’s a great capelike coat that’s worn over the shoulders and features a very distinct diamond design. The idea was to use the Wrap Coat Pattern as a base. I saw the progress and volunteered some assistance to see if we could come up with a pattern to reflect the vision. Here’s my process to arrive at the desired destination. The resulting pattern is posted below the video link!

Hello, dear Internet~Land. Today I have a simple “hanging out with friends” type of video. We’ve been stuck in the house for several days due to the icy weather. Too dangerous to drive (or walk for that matter), so we’ve been playing it safe and staying off the roads. I thought I’d take a while and sort through some of my unfinished projects. If that sounds of interest to you, come along and take a look. Enjoy and stay safe!

Greetings, Dear Internet~Land! Well, the cold weather has finally made its arrival here. Thankfully, it is on our days off, so for now we’re all settled in with blankets, the fireplace, hot cocoa, warm baked treats, movies, and a sewing machine! We have so many patterns here on the website not yet “sewn on YouTube,” so I thought I’d start going through the list and put some together. Today’s project is the Zig-Zag Jacket from the recently posted 2023 Twelve Gifts of Christmas. It was numbered 9 & 10 for both the SD and MSD sizes. Depending on the date of reading, you can scroll down, look through the dated archives, or use the Menu at the top to access the size of choice. Wishing you all a warm and wonderful weekend!

I hope you’ve had a great New Year’s Day and are ready to move forward with excitement and inspiration! To begin our journey into the new year, we have a video sewing tutorial for the Waterfall Gown and Capelet Pattern Set. I was thinking that many of my patterns haven’t been sewn yet, so this is the start of my plans to film more videos for the patterns that are available here on the website. Enjoy and happy sewing!
