Blythe Dresses

I have been having a much needed break from Facebook and sewing.

I am a little disillusioned with the whole Facebook thing these days.

  It is way too much work to stay in the news feeds and I really have better things to do, than be on Facebook all the time trying to maintain that my page stay in the news feeds . 

 I actually have a life, and sewing is my hobby - these days it feels like a chore so I am doing other things and just sewing when I feel like it.

So I have been sewing little Blythe dresses and changing their eye chips.

If you are interested in the eye chip photos , they can be found here

Here are some of the little dresses. 

 I started buying this fabric a year ago and just never had time

to make the dresses,  so at Christmas break I got stuck into it.

I wanted to take this photo to make a header for my Blythe Tumblr page.  

My Tumblr page is somewhere for me to put my doll photo's rather Flickr.

I only started it recently.  

Anyone that collects Blythe Dolls knows they are great to photograph, 

and photography is something I am very interested in but not good at.

So I am enjoying taking photos of the dolls every day.  I am getting my head around the whole composition of the shot,  But still have a long way to go.

Some more little dresses I made.

 And a couple more.

The only dresses I have made here is the centre one and the one to its left.

  I couldn't find a pic of it on its own.

So that is what I have been up to as of late!

Till next time!

One of my daughters friends had a baby boy. 

He has done a lot of things for me, so I made the baby these little sets to say thank you!

Tenderfeet Stitches - Bow Tie halter dress

I loved this pattern.  It is very pretty made up and very easy to make.  

I thought I would make Maddie (my grand daughter a little Christmas dress).  I don't buy a lot of fabric from Spotlight, I prefer the quilting shops, even though they are a lot more expensive, the fabric is 100 percent cotton and I am not a fan of cotton mix or poplin!  Anyway occasionally they have something I can't resist and this Xmas fabric was one of those.

And of course I think Maddie is gorgeous in it!

This is another little dress I made for Maddie.  

Absolutely love this fabric

It is the Gracie Dress by FemiKids Couture

And here is Maddie wearing her new dress with me

Fair and Square - A Tie Dye Diva Pattern

Oh my goodness, I can't believe I haven't posted in a month.  Too much going on.

 I tried the Tie Dye Diva Pattern and loved the results.  I had bought the pattern and the  fabric ages ago.

This one has the hem band, I made the flower as a brooch so you can wear it on the dress or a headband

And this is the version without the hem band

I love the fabric for this style of dress.

Ruffle back dress - Pattern by FooFoo Threads

This was my first attempt at shirring.  I have always avoided it as it looks so difficult.  

Well I here to tell you it is easy as.

Back ruffles - I added an extra one.

Front is pretty with ruffle on bodice

And of course a matching headband

Lovely Isobel modeled it for me

Isobel loved it so much her mother had to wash the dress

 every evening for 3 nights so Isobel could wear it the next day
