Woot! I sold my first two Blythe dresses on Etsy! They are two of my favorites that I’ve made so far, which is affirming.
They are also both patterns that I improvised (based on a general idea from Puchi Collective) and that I embellished with metallic doodads. Since I made these I’ve played with my pattern a little bit more and already made another version that I really like (pics soon, just haven’t gotten around to it yet). I think I may play some more this afternoon, as I have some more xmas fabric that I haven’t tried yet and since Thanksgiving has passed, now’s the time to use it.
I’ve had these dressed posted to Etsy for a few weeks, but I just yesterday changed the shipping to offer a deal (free shipping on the 2nd+ items) – I’m not sure if that made the difference, but regardless, I’ll take it!
Yay you! I think the dresses are really cute.
I got an entire box of vintage, cotton rik-rak from my mom that maybe you could tap into. Such cool colors.
Thanks, Susan! Oh wow, I LOVE rick-rack! Seriously, I think being a kid in the 1970s gave me a permanent affection for rick-rack (also that bally-wally trim that was so trendy). Any you want to throw my way would be awesome!!
