Pattern Review: Requiem Art Designs 14 Inch Hoodie

Requiem Art Designs released another pattern for 14 inch dolls. This one is a hoodie.

I made a Piglet hoodie!

I have always been a Winnie the Pooh fan.

It was so easy to make this pattern into Piglet.

And it is SO cute.

 What's not to love?

Here is Piglet, for comparison purposes.

This pattern was very easy to make. It has raglan sleeves, which are very easy to make and also worked perfectly for differentiating between Piglet's arms and the onsie/bathing suit that he wears.

The hoodie has a slit in the back to let the doll's hair out, which works so well.

I had to take a full body picture to show that Tipi is wearing pink shoes to match her hoodie.

Consuelo and Tipi are happy to show off their new clothes!

I really like this pattern. It was easy, and I have so many ideas for different combos to make.

It's a great piece of clothing for colder weather, and it doubles as a Halloween costume!

What more can you ask for?

Pattern Review: Jinjia Mixed Goods Gothic Lolita Blouse

Jinjia Mixed Goods has released her first doll clothes pattern for sale (she has done many free patterns) and it is fabulous!

This pattern is the Gothic Lolita Style Blouse and it is for sale in her Etsy shop.

This pattern has so many choices. You can basically make any blouse you ever dreamed up. 

There are 256 different combinations from different sleeves, collars, and other options.

I made a blouse with short puffed sleeves and a Peter Pan collar and peplum. 

I want to make many more of the other options!

This is really a classic blouse. It reminds me of one that I had that I loved.

Here is a look at the inset lace I did on the sleeve. So pretty and ladylike!

I love this pattern. what more can I say?

It's no wonder that everyone wants a doll sized version of this lovely dress!

Etsy Purchase Review: LinLovelies

I love sewing doll clothes and quilts for my dolls. However, I have never learned to knit or crochet very well. Add to these facts a reverence for well-made handmade objects, and you find me scouring etsy for knit or crochet items for my dolls.

I didn't want just any knit or crochet items, though. I am picky.
A lot of people knit and crochet dresses for dolls, and I don't like those. I want dolls to have clothes that look like people's clothes. The majority of knit dresses do not achieve this.
Also, I just wanted pieces that would supplement the clothes I sew, not replace them.

I ended up finding the shop LinLovelies.
