Blythe Dresses

Well I still haven't been sewing except for some Blythe doll dresses.

  But I thought I would show you what I have made.

I finished these while I was working in Sydney.  

I used wrapping paper sticky taped to the picture hung above the desk
for the back ground and the lamp for lighting.  

The house maid must have wondered what was going on. lol

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
