Handmade dress for the little one

I made my first dress for Shilou. It was crazy fun to do. I've started on several others now...

It has a tiny mushroom button (offwhite) in the back and a matching hairpiece.


I actually like the dress, which is very rare. I never like my own stuff. But this dress...it's far from perfect, but I'm fond of it. And Shilou approved it too (Mr Teddy pretty much thought that the whole dress-thingy was overrated).

  1. Oh how lovely! I really like the idea of mixing yarn and fabric the way you did.

    Thank you :) I don't think I have patience enough to make a entire dress of yarn LOL. But the main reason is that when I crochet, I do it VERY firmly and tight. So my hands hurts after a while :/

    I also got inspired by a dress I made for a Barbiedoll earlier this year. Different colours and fabric, but basically the same design.

  3. She is lovely! Absolutely adorable ♥ and her dress is so sweet.
    A BJD is very high on my wish list for Xmas.... I've been sure to let everybody close to me know this =)

    The doll I'm making clothes for today is all crocheted, and mostly from Beth's pattern for Pocket Spirits (byhookbyhand.blogspot.com) with some smaller adjustments.
    As soon as I've found the yarn to make her dress from I will show her to you!

    Thank you:) I totally adore her. And I keep my fingers crossed that you'll get your BJD. Do you know what kind you want and from where? There's a lot of dollcompany's out there and many sizes (and accessories). Mine is a small one (Pukifée 15,5cm). But I have my eyes on a bigger one too (minifee 41cm) that look more adult-ish.

    Pocket Spirits are so cute! I'm looking forward to se the dress when you have made it :)

    Tack! Det mesta tycks bli gulligt när hon får det på sig...så det känns inte alls som om jag kan ta åt mig äran :P
