After watching many of limbe dolls videos, I
purchased my own mini sewing machine. It is
not the Janome Sew Mini that she has and it too
doesn't have a light on the machine.
Oh, and thanks limbe dolls for the inspiration!

The thing I like about it is that for a small machine
it has power! I am looking forward to making and
repairing things to give my dolls a better wardrobe.
As my doll character get more defined, it is hard to
find outfit that they might wear. I will be forced to
make more of the outfits they will need. This may lead
to more time in between posts while I make outfits.
I hope not but maybe. I want to show you a few
simple things I made in the last few days!
So KiKi likes to combine her third world sensibility
with western style. This makes it hard for me to pick
out piece that are produced for fashion dolls that
work for her. This dress I made.
First dress for KiKi!
Re-sew and style!
This outfit-the top is a Defa Lucy top and the skirt
was a piece that I found on a doll I purchased from
the thrift store. The seams on this skirt were gone.
I almost trashed it months ago. I had to re-sewing
and create a new waist band. It will look great on
the vacation she and Terrence will take.
As you might know, the grandmother doll body is
larger that other Mattel Barbie bodies. There wasn't
a full wardrobe of clothing for this doll even when it
was first released. For my Camille, the grandmother
wardrobe will not work. I feel Camille still has a
strong sense of fashion even at her age. So I want her
to have a wardrobe that expresses that. She live on an
island and her wardrobe should reflect that too. I plan
to expand some items and make a few others items
to accomplish this.
Camille's first dress!
