New Blue Fairy Clothes

Romper Suits for Hana a Blue Fairy Shiny Fairy BJD Doll

Still a few more sunny days of summer to look forward to. So have made a couple of breezy little outfits for Hana my Blue Fair, Shiny Fairy.  No sure what I can call them? They have a crochet bodice which is attached to cut off pants. So "Rompers?" or could I use a good old fashions name like "Sunsuit?"

First one in blue with a blue floral to match. I love making these little hats they are bit of a fiddle but I like the way they come out. I did make them for my Iplehouse Elin so maybe these are a tad big for this doll?

Then thought the outfit needed something to give it a bit of a lift so added a necklace made out of some small wooded beads. Seemed to do the trick.

Some More BJD Dresses

Three More BJD Dresses

Time to get the sewing machine out again I can feel my fingers itching to start new projects again. So once again Leya my Dream of Doll BJD is the lucky recipient.

I love whitework, so once again I used some of my dwindling stock of lovely white swiss cotton. (I checked the price of it from my usual stockist and got a shock at the price now!) Spent some quality time matching up lace, Broadaire Anglaise, and some lovely new silky french seam binding that I have just got.

And here are the results. The first is similar to one I made a while ago. Slightly different laces and colours but I loved the "kitten ears" last time so had some fun making them once again.

Then again I used the white cotton but this time edged and decorated with some dramatic contrasting black lace and purple ribbon.

I loved making the top hat and thought next time I could try to make a more "Gothlike" outfit. Maybe make the dress in grey and use black and purple trims again. And I think that a Top Hat would be right for a Goth outfit too.

For the next one I decided on a change and used some silk material.  I recently got some pieces of "Sari Silk" which is so soft and light its lovely but so difficult to work with. It slips about a lot and it will fray if you just look at it sideways! So I had to work carefully with it but the resulting dress I am pleased with so it was worth the effort. I again used some silky seam binding but held off using any lace, other than on the underskirt, as the material is patterned I thought it would start to look too busy. Less is more so they say.

But I could not resist a bit more decorativeness so made a mulberry flower and lead headdress.
