miniature sewing

for about 6 1/2 years I was collecting 16 inch modern fashion dolls and would regularly make fashion doll clothing and jewellery that I sold online. My first sale on ebay was a vintage inspired ensemble for a Gene Marshall doll that sold for $40USD. It was a labour intensive process but because I enjoyed what I did, the time spent on it didn't matter so much. What I thrived on the most was the challenge of making a 'miniature' version of a human sized garment.

I was sorting through my photos last night and just thought I'd share a couple of images of my previous work.


jersey knit halter top with ribbon and snaps in the back teamed up with pure linen fully lined bootleg pants



a handmade beaded choker with female symbol. This was a really popular design.

Looking back, I can see that I produced quite a lot of doll garments. However since Miss 2's arrival I haven't felt inspired enough to do any of this doll sewing/crafting. Hopefully I might get back it to sometime soon.
