Since I took a trip to the coast this weekend, I thought I'd bring a Momoko doll dressed in a new outfit I just made. The pictures were taken at Point Lobos in California. The fabric used for the blouse comes from a human-sized blouse that looks very similar (minus the bow and fancies). The photos came out so wonderfully that I want to go to the coast more often to take pictures of the dolls.

The white blouse pictured is altered from a pattern in a Dolly Dolly pattern book imported from Japan. It was pretty hard to work with thin cotton fabric, but I like the way turned out, mostly with the sleeves pushed up her arms a bit. I think next on the list is going to be tackling another Alice in Wonderland character's outfit. Also, I'm gearing up to start making some prints and other artworks out of repurposed and/or recycled materials. Stay tuned.

Recently, I snagged some pretty similar fabrics and decided to make some dresses out of them. There is a candlestick telephone in the background. It was given to me by my grandmother when I was very young. The phone and pearls are a nice touch to a somewhat dated yet modern experience for my Silver Crescent Momoko.

Lately I've been trying to make outfits from characters in Alice in Wonderland. Thus far, I have a Cheshire Cat and Alice outfit. I hope to do other characters as well. I tried to make the Cheshire Cat outfit less a costume and more of inspired apparel. The pockets on the hoodie are actual pockets and I made a little stuffed animal for both. The Cheshire Cat outfit is made with more stressed materials, giving it a rebellious/punk look.

Deciding to finally tackle the detailed patterns for jeans, I started with a pair of khaki shorts using the same pattern. It came out very well, but the other pair I was also making didn't survive. I should note the pants look a little big at the waist, but that's because I haven't put a snap on the back of them yet. The material used actually comes from a very old pair of women's khaki pants. I had a little material left over from cutting it up to make a quilt. I'm all about repurposing.
