Doll clothes

Other clothes for small felt dolls.


I printed flower patterns on kimono with handmade seal and Ceramcoat (acrylic).



Purple dress.

When patching 2 sheets of felt, it needs seam allowance at one side (e.g. yoke, border, or stand collar). The seam allowance is 1/10 inch.

How to sew kimono.

Pattern seller

I received a message about someone selling my pattern.

Wendy wrote :

I just saw someone on etsy.com selling the pattern for your mini Santa and Reindeer. Here is the link to the shop:

www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34910352

The seller's name is fairyfox.

I just thought you should know, because it is not fair that someone should ask money for something that you have been generous enough to give away for free.

I saw that page and I too think it is unfair.
But this case may be one of many.
Anyone can sell things picked up on the web. It is easy.
But it will bring him into disrepute.

I expect social conscience correct and punish sly people.

My mini Santa is here.
Mini Santa of felt.

Fashion doll

Small dolls which have exchangeable hair and clothes.
Each 15cm tall.


You don't need a sewing machine.
Maybe kids can do.

Making is almost the same as mini cat.
Materials are felt, polyester fiberfill, beads and threads.





Sew beads for eyes. The mouth is embroidery thread.
Its body is flat.


The back is open.




If you have interest, here are patterns.
 
I hope you make clothes by your own design.

Other clothes.

Boys wig:

White cat

Simple stuffed cat which is trial work. 19 centimetres height.
Its head is almost the same as Ragdoll kitten, and the body is similar as terry cat.



I put polyethylene wires in it. And it can stand and sit or lie.







An aluminium wire is easy to be bent, but it often break. Broken wires are dangerous.
Polyethylene rarely snaps. But it is difficult to keep bending.

So I've put both in Norwegian Forest Cat.

Bear box

This bear reliefed box was designed by Kazukiyo Kurosu, a paper craft artist.
I saw it in his book.

The box has openings (lack), but it is something interesting.



Cut such paper, then fold and assemble.









Draw eyes and nose with felt-tip pen.
The bear doesn't need glue. But when making the box, use glue.

Origami box 2

Hard version of origami box.
This is difficult to fold. The bottom is treble, so it's rather strong.

This method can be applied to polygonal boxes.
If you see books about origami box, you will find various boxes and details of making.

Origami box

Small boxes of used wrapping paper.




Easy square box making.
Use a sheet of rectangle paper.

Divide a long side in five.
"A" (1/5) is width of a box. "B" is height.



Crease.


Fold.


Insert a side into another. It becomes a fence.


Twist the inside part and make the bottom.




Complete.




When I spread this box, it becomes a rectangle.

Toadstool

Mushroom of felt. 2 - 7 centimetres.


An example of making.


Cut cloth (felt). Only the back of the cap is thin cotton cloth.


Make the rectangle to a circle by gathering.


The back is smaller than the upper.


Sew and turn inside out.
Stuff polyester fiberfill in cap and stipe.


Sew the stipe to the cap.


Glue the small dots on the cap.
If you omit the gills, it is easier. Use a circle of felt at the back.


Another example --- mushroom (not toadstool).
