Sequined Dress with Belt

Some of you may know, I have been going through my doll inventory and cleaning up my office.  In the process, I found a box of mock-up and work-in-progress fashions.  This sequined dress was one of the items in the box.  I finished up the basic set with a belt and it's now available in the Etsy shop.  It fits a large variety of 16-20" dolls, including Fashion Royalty, Deja Vu, Cami & Jon, etc. 

This dress is also a sign of something big to come in my shop -- I am going to do an inventory sale of the items I found in this box as well as existing inventory.  The sale will probably occur in the next couple months.  I am making way for some new ideas.  Stay tuned!

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.

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).

Casting Call for New Book

The new book, Dolly Bureau (Vol 3):  All About Tiny Dolls [working title], is underway and this year I'm going to try something a little different with the book.  Instead of being strictly a pattern book, this year the book will highlight all kinds of tiny dolls (11.5cm/4.5in or shorter) with some pattern tutorials, crafts, etc.  In this volume, dolls, crafts, clothing, accessories, etc, will also come from other people, not just MegannArt.
