The most recent installment of Dolly Bureau volume 3 focuses on tiny dolls, but some of the crafts and sewing patterns can be used for dolls of multiple sizes. The picture below is a drafting dress pattern that would use a combination of knitted and tulle/lace fabrics. Dream High Studio's Lulu is pictured. She's so tiny!

It's been a while since I've posted on my blog; however, I have been trying to post quite a bit on Instagram since I started my account almost 2 months ago. It's a smattering of things, but you'll find quite a few dolly photos, like the one of my new Unoa pictured above.
The Unoa is a Grade B Ange, faceup by Noctural Doll. I have several face plates for her and I know I'll love swapping them out as soon as I get faceups for all of them. She has a large bust and is wearing an outfit from Daphne Dimples Silver Sensation. It's a snug fit, but it fits.

Sweet Olive in Code Noir
As a gift for my birthday, a friend of mine gave a wonderful doll to me, Sweet Olive by Blue Fairy. Her resin is white skin. It sounds like she may have been a limited edition doll. I think she is such a cutie! I'm a fan of those sleepy eyes.
Sweet Olive is wearing an outfit, shoes, and wig by Code Noir. This outfit is wonderful. There is so much detail in every clothing piece. Personally, I'm a huge fan of their mohair wigs like the one Sweet Olive is wearing. If you have a chance, check out the Code Noir USA website for current designs and in-stock items.
Experimenting with Aluminum Foil
An online BJD store I frequent, The Junky Spot, had a photo contest recently and I decided to participate. The goal was to make something out of aluminum foil. I came up with a few ideas and had my Limhwa ladies model the foil fashions. Above is Limhwa Lily wearing a fitted dress. The belt is embossed with a hand-drawn motif to provide texture. Each section of the dress has a paper backing to keep structure and prevent crinkling of the foil.
The second photo is a much smaller doll, Limhwa Sara. She's one of my favorite BJDs in my collection. I pulled out all kinds of fashion doll accessories and went wild. The gems are hand applied. I especially like the Integrity Toys ring on her pinky.
Overall, I can't say I would work with foil again, but it was nice to think outside of the box when designing doll fashions.

Long Dress for MSDs and Ellowyne Wilde
This new pattern combines a whole lot of things I love -- white eyelet fabric, lace, long dresses, ribbon, and my new KoonieS. As some of you may know, I have a few Peak's Woods dolls, but I was glad to add KoonieS to the family.
The dress pictured is a pattern available in my Etsy shop. I am trying to put out quite a few more digital patterns in the near future, so stay tuned for plenty more dolly sewing options in the weeks to come.
