Momoko Calico Dress Set

It feels like it took me ages to finish this wonderful set, but it was worth the wait.  I found this calico print in my stash of fabric and wanted to make a simple Momoko dress out of it.  The dress has pintucks in the skirt and an unfinished ruffle on the bottom.  The cardigan is light blue with navy blue trim hand-sewn along the neckline.  To finish the outfit, I attached a gold dragonfly to the cardigan.

The set also fits a variety of other dolls, including Poppy Parker, Misaki, Jenny, Liv, Tiny Kitty (pictured below), Victoire Roux, and Color Infusion/Jem.  Grab one in the shop while they're still available.

Dolly Coloring Studio Inspiration

Many of the pages in the adult coloring book, Dolly Coloring Studio, are inspired by a variety of different dolls.  Occasionally, the dolls in the book get to wear clothing that appears in Vogue magazine!  The Dolly Coloring Studio page highlighted in this post is inspired by vintage Barbie and a few pieces found in the September 2010 issue of Vogue.  The doll is wearing a dress inspired by Dagmar with clips and a brooch by House of Lavande (pictured below, bottom right corner). 

In addition to the book, you can also buy a postcard to color.  Support an artist! Visit my Etsy shop. You can also follow my Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest pages.

Pretty in Pink

Next week I will be attending the Pacific Northwest BJD Expo (aka PNW Expo) and I'm bringing this lovely outfit with me.  It's a pink dress for MSD ball-jointed dolls.  It also fits Ellowyne Wilde and a variety of other dolls.  I love the sparkle and beading!  Only one extra was made and will be sold at the PNW Expo.  If unsold, it will pop up on Etsy soon.

Perhaps it is too much pink, but I just couldn't help adding all the pink pieces to the doll.  Pictured is Peak's Woods Lady Bee (older body).

Momoko Pattern in Dolly Bureau Volume 1

Dolly Bureau books have a few patterns for Momoko, but I think this is one is my favorite.  The set is a jacket, skirt, and blouse.  It can be found in volume 1 of the Dolly Bureau series.  The Momoko pictured is Beach Rodeo.  She is also wearing glasses by Randall Craig.  The book is still in print and you can make the outfit too!  See below for more details.

First Momoko Digital Pattern

In the recent months, I was focusing on digital PDF patterns for ball-jointed dolls.  Not too long ago, I finally finished a pattern for Momoko dolls.  It's a simple set, but I think using striped fabric looks great for the blouse.  I tried the outfit on a variety of other dolls and it is confirmed to adequately fit Pullip, J-doll, Tiny Kitty (very snug), Petite Barbie, Pure Neemo (all bust sizes), and Jenny.
