Yo-SD Jeans and Shirt

Well I decided to try to make as realistic a pair of jeans as possible in Yo-SD size and while it's missing a couple of details, like belt loops and back pockets, I'm really tired so those will have to wait till tomorrow.

I'm really displeased with how loose the thermal shirt I made is too. I wanted it to be snug and somewhat form-fitting like the way mine always used to be. Rather than taking this one in, I'm gonna try again by shrinking the pattern a little bit. The next will be made of the skull print thermal material I've got. I don't have a lot of it, but enough for a couple of shirts.

Anyway I'm pretty pleased with how the jeans fit, except that I'll need to put a second snap in the fly so it closes better. Tell me what you think!

I made bedding!

So, awhile back, I picked up this little blue doll bed at a local thrift store. I wasn't sure exactly who it was for or what I wanted to do with it. But then, last night I had the urge to make something for it. I wanted tp keep the bed on my bedside table, for when I'm not feeling well, and want one of my dolls within cuddle-reach, but not IN my bed.

So I looked through my fabric stash and stumbled upon this cute seudo-safari print I got back when I bought my first Yo. I had ideas about oneseys, and tiny pajamas and such, but I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do with it. When I found it, and saw that I'd bought a whole yard, I decided to use it for bed sheets with a some of my beige ribbed knit for accent pillows. And viola!



I stitched a little elephant to one of the biege pillows, and a lion to the other. And you can also see the little fingerless gloves I made for Ichigo.

And a few one-shots of Ichigo from yesterday. 8D



Fur Wig help? Where do you get YOUR fur?

I posted this request a few days ago over in the sewing and crafting section of Resinality, but I've had very little in the way of luck so I'm re-posting it here.

For those of you who enjoy making fur wigs, where do you get your (faux) fur? I can find a few colors sporatically at JoAnns and Hancock fabrics, but I really want/need a nice soft fluffy fur in white, and some in butter yellow, and have yet to find either in my local stores.

I recall someone saying at Nekocon (Dizziness maybe?) that they ordered their fur online. Where would I look? I'm wanting a white(and butter yellow too!) fur with the consistancy of the below, cotton candy blue. I would also rather like to get my hands on acid green and blindingly neon orange.

And, a shot of the white fur I'm craving. This wig is one made by Dizziness, that I borrowed from neoragdolls.

First Kiss(es)

I was unaware that the Resinality Galleries are private, so I'm posting the little photo story that I linked to yesterday. I think it was yesterday anyway. @_@


Ichigo: Smile for the camera! ;D
Eluria: I am!

Ichigo: I wanna give you a kiss!
Eluria: A kiss?

Ichigo: On the forehead. ;)

Eluria: ...
Ichigo: ..Ya know, despite my reputation I've never even kissed anyone..

Eluria: You can kiss me.




Eluria: I've never kissed anyone either.

Ichigo: Oh, you gave me your first kiss? ..Thanks.
Eluria: *blushes*

Omake:

I made the two of them friendship bracelets. :D

Ichigo

I posted a photostory over on Resinality! It's Ichigo's first kiss. Go look!

And a photo because I'm pleased with how his new wig came out.

About Me

My photo
I'm Rory or Rorek in most places. I design, sew, and craft, primarily for my Asian Ball-Jointed Dolls. I also dabble in interior design, but I'm a little out of practice.

I post about the things I enjoy, which are sewing, photographing my dolls, designing new outfits, knitting, which I started in September of 2008, thanks to my Mom, and occasionally drawing, or painting.

I also post about Life Events and how they affect me and those that I love.

Currently I am living in DFW, Texas in the USA and working towards a degree in Theology.
