Being nice to my Blythe doll
As my Blythe doll
is now a business necessity, I should take better care of my employee. So, she’s getting a few treats when I whip out the sewing machine. I don’t have any vintage skipper patterns at the ready, so a searchin’ I shall go~
http://www.blytheworld.com/eng/pattern/ is a pattern for those funky UGG boots all the girls love this time of year. While not my taste in footwear, they’re wildly popular around here. They’re cute, just not my thing. But maybe the unnamed model would like a pair, because I’ve wanted to try making shoes for a while now, and that’s a pretty straight forward pattern for starting with. Still haven’t addressed her mass of snarling hair… sigh. It’s not my strong suit, hair dressing has never been my thing. I can make some nails look good, but hair? nope. I can make a hat to cover it.

http://members.optusnet.com.au/orriettacat/patterns/Is another endless source of starting points, as I never really follow a pattern to the end anyways.
