I finally feel like I’m getting the hang of making Blythe-sized dresses. Working on such a small scale is different than making clothing for myself – but it goes so much more quickly! Today I took a little under two hours and made two dresses.
The Froggie Dress:
The froggie fabric above was from the nursery section at the fabric store, but I thought it was so cute, and not too juvenile. I’m pleased that I was able to center the frog on the front of the top without too much trouble.
And the Tick Tock Dress:
I thought the clock motif fabric was appropriate for autumn. The leaves falling make me realize how quickly time is passing these days. I’m also quite pleased that I’m getting the hang of making my own patterns and modifying those others have created. When I bought these buttons, I wasn’t sure if they’d be too big for Blythe’s scale, but I think they work quite well.
UPDATE: The Tick Tock dress is now available for purchase on AnneArchy (Etsy).
