A dress after a Raccoon Rags pattern.

Bought a pattern on Etsy, from Raccoon Rags a while ago. It's made for Ellowyne Wilde, not Minifée, but very similar in measurements...so I thought I would give it a try. The pattern itself was very easy to follow and the owner of Raccoon Rags, Tess, was very friendly and helpful. I had so much fun sewing this dress and learned a lot! Even though it wasn't the easiest to hand-sew the whole thing. Those tiny stitches...gosh. But I think I managed to do a good job with it. Unfortunately, it turned out that the waist is too big for Minifée. It can still work, if you're not picky or have a blouse under that takes up lots of space. But I'd like it to be tighter. Which is why I asked Tess for advice how to adjust the pattern and she responded with some tips. So I'm gonna modify the pattern a bit and try again :)    

Sewing project - Dress

It was time. Patterns have always scared me a bit, it looks so difficult...normally I just freestyle. But I found such a cute pattern for a dress on Etsy, so I had to try it out. Here's some crappy phone pics on the process:

I forgot how much I like to sew, it's so much fun to see a piece of fabric transform into something! Looking forward to see the end result, I hope it will fit my M-line body *crossing fingers*

My fourth/fifth and fifth/sixth BJD #6 - Arrival (box opening)

Fairyland seems to have downsized the cardboard box/package a bit...it's not as high and wide, but slightly longer. Much better, in my opinion...don't know if it helped with the customs, but it feels like a better choice ^.^ Here we go:

First thing that caught my eye when I opened the box was some very weird people 0.o

(21th October: I still have them. They made me laugh xD)

Bye bye bubble plastic.

Aaaand BAM! Here's everything:

Zoe is a cutiepie ♥ She's a future redhead with freckles, so I'm looking for some perfect messy wavy red curls. And possible a foxtail...gotta love foxes! I might keep the event head (RFA 2015). And the body is for my Sarang 2014 head, which means I now have two full MiniFées at home! Who would have thought? ...that was a silly question, wasn't it? Everyone in this hobby probably knows by now that there's something addictive in the Fairyland resin ;) Now, off for some wig hunting.

And HEY! Not only postcards, but stickers too. I like.

Me: Yes. Bye bye money. But it's ok. My MiniFée Chloe is sold and that almost covered everything. 
 

Newbie at home!

Yeah. Couldn't keep away from MiniFées too long. Chloe is soon gone, but I bought a Sarang event head 2014 from the marketplace on DoA last month. First on my wish-list is the Siean head in normal skin, but they're getting snapped up so quickly (and let's not talk about the high price!). But Sarang will be getting the M-Line body I just ordered and therefor I will still have a Minifée at home. And this time there's already a personality ready for her, with looks and all. My PukiFée Shilou won't be the only one crazy about girly pink stuff ;) 

(This is the sellers photo, I will replace it with my own soon)
