Doll Clothing Ideas

These can be smaller projects, I am splitting them off into their own post.

No Sew Dresses - Froggy used a 12 inch diameter circle, and carefully cut holes for the head and arms, then belt it. No fray fabric like a T-Shirt works great.

Doll Cardigan Kimono - again, a Froggy video, from an old scarf. Uses the doll to determine the size, which is cool.

Tights or leggings make great stretchy tube dresses. Sew a back seam on a curve, again they do not fray.

Look at some of her Bathing Suit videos, good inspiration and could be extended to a dress.

Froggy has a lot of videos on making pants, shorts, and dresses for dolls.

Fun stuff, and expanding the wardrobe of the dolls, especially the CY girls who have 2 outfits is pretty crucial.

Thinking about dolls, what I want to do

I was... away.... from a lot of things, for a while. I had a pretty dark period there. I'm getting back into a lot of my hobbies, and I really want to spend more time on my dolls, and making things.

There are a LOT of things I want to buy. Monster High and Ever After High Dolls, Made to Move Barbies (I don't have any), more Obitsus, more different body types, Lammily makes great dolls and AMAZING ourfits, more furniture and clothes and.... but there is no money for that right now. I've also got a lot of debt.

So, appreciating what I have, and using the craft supplies that I have to make things. I have.... LOTS of ideas, and I really need to focus. So I am making a list, and I am going to try and focus on some projects, and get stuff done. I also have a bunch of things to make for family for the holidays, so much of this is not likely to kick off until January anyway.

Projects:

Fix wigs - DONE!!!

• Eliza and Emily have hard-cap wigs now, and their hair doesn't fall off. So happy!

• Make a poof from old socks.
• Make a full mattress - NEARLY DONE
• Make a twin mattress

Fantasy/Castle/Magic Project -

CLOTHES - 

I really want to expand the wardrobes, and I think I should just rewatch a lot of MyFroggyStuff and use the ideas to sew for my dolls. My CY Girls are larger, and don't have enough clothes, and Monster High and Ken and even regular Barbies are low on certain things.

Characters and customs -

• Give the old GI Joe knock off dreds, and a pirate outfit
• Finish the reroot of an old Belle doll
• Make Elves! I have 5 NoxDeRume elf heads
• Find bodies for 2 heads I bought with custom face ups
