Current Mood : Witchy !
Here’s the green Bratzillaz
pack on Olivia – I really like it ! I may take the ‘crest’ buttons off and use
them elsewhere, but otherwise, it’s quite nice. The pink set witch hat is sewn
to a plastic headband, but the green one has long black ribbon ties. I thought
I’d prefer the headband, but it makes the large ribbon bows stand out against
gravity. Can fix it by tacking it down further, but the ribbon ties work better
at conforming the hat to a doll’s head. Giving serious consideration to
removing the pink one from the headband, securing it to ribbon, and using the
headband for other sinister purposes. It’s how I roll. Backpack fits on the
doll’s shoulders, and isn’t outsized, either. Very nice !
And you can see how well the
shoes fit. They may be just a twinge big, but I’d rather have that – can use
hosiery with them – than the alternative. I love the green and black shoes. If
there’d been no sale on a second set, I’d have bought just this one. The shoes
resemble Draculaura’s pink/black ones from her ‘Newspaper Club’ fashion pack,
and Abbey’s purple/black repaint clones in her ‘I Love Fashion’ set. So I’m way
happy to have a green version !
Got to sew tonight, and
opted for a simple holiday dress – a slightly lengthened version of the
free-with-purchase ‘Simple A Line’ pattern, from NG Creations’ first set. You
may remember it, I had tons of fun customizing it last Christmas. Kept it
simple, ‘cause I knew it’d be worn with the other Bratzillaz set for tomorrow’s
photo, so ya won’t see most of it anyway. Used the white-on-white holiday
print, and it really looks nice. Photo Finish didn’t offer an opinion, and
neither did Hoity Toity, so I’ve either shocked them to silence, or I have
their approval.
Tomorrow you get photos of a
lovely winter water witch !
Oh, and I’m not quite sure
how it happened, but I seem to be a sewing guru / mentor on the message board I
frequent. It’s not that I’m that good – I know I’m not ! - it’s that I’m often
available and always willing to answer questions. I just hope I don’t confuse
people worse. I tend to over-explain, or assume everyone’s at my low skill
level. I want everyone to start sewing for their dolls, it’s so much fun !
But so is sleep….(yawwwwn)
