Blythe's Woodland Gnome collection
I've had this sweet Gnome print for a while. I made some clothing for my grandson's when they were small (they are now 7) and i saved the leftovers..and i decided to use it for this collection for Blythe.
Here is the dress i designed, she has a hand sewn sequin flower with a ribbon flower for an accent:
Here is a close up:
Next my daughter thought a cape would be nice so i used this super soft fur trim and added ric-rac and some small pompoms along the bottom and then i made the tie closure. This cape is lined. This also shows the hat before i finished the edge.
One more thing for this collection is the Gnome hat. Again, i made this one up and i rather like it..but then that's my taste i guess, it is wool and lined.

Blythe is Quite Foxy collection
Whenever i spend time with my daughter in CO, i get encouraged to create clothes for Blythe. She visited Japan just before Christmas and intentionally purchased a Blythe doll for my Christmas present. I haven't photographed this Blythe yet, but i promise to!
While i was visiting i decided to create a Fox sweater and from that came the pleated skirt and then the crocheted hat.
I made up the pattern for the sweater and hand embroidered the fox face on the front. The pleated skirt is from a Simplicity Blythe pattern that has been retired.
So the next thing i made was a matching Fox crocheted hat that I made up, the fox has a ribbon nose that blends in with this Blythe's hair. I should have taken the photo with a different Blythe.
Just for fun i also made a Fox necklace:

Simply I Love You Blythe collection
For this month, i decided to produce this outfit for Blythe. The pattern is a take-off of one of the dresses i made for my granddaughter that is 4. This design was a bit shorter than the pattern for my granddaughter so i added the tulle to give it a longer look.
I have hand sewn seed beads and sequins on this dress.
I have also created a headband to match with this dress..you can see the beading better in this photo.
