| I should title this photo 'HeavyAlterations', so that when it turns up on Pinterest or somewhere, someone else doesn't get stuck wondering how in the world I got those jeans past her hips ! |
Got going on altering the BFC, Ink
outfit to fit my DP&M girls. Found
the ribbon and resewed the side seams of the jeans with it added. Now it’s
almost too baggy ! But it allows the girls to sit down with only half their
painted-on panties showing, so I hesitate to tweak it further. May add a ribbon
belt, maybe that’ll help.
I know, I’ve been spoiled lately, but… since I now know at least
the BFC, Ink sneakers fit, I splurged
a little further and bought a shoe pattern made for them. Hey, at least it was
on sale ! Beach Baby Dolls has a 30% off code on their home page and on their
main Etsy page, but I don’t know how long it would last. I had just enough left
in PayPal, too ! You can see
it here.
I’ve hesitated because the shoe pattern is mostly for hand-sewing,
and I’ve said it before – my hand sewing is bad enough to make a cat laugh. But
I wanted a better fit than what I’ve created on my own, so I took the plunge.
And they fit pretty well ! It was kind of relaxing to just take needle, thread,
felt, and scissors over to the sofa – just under the air conditioner ! – and stitch
along to something on Netflix. And, like any craft I can think of, I can’t
snack and create at the same time, so it took up some prime munch-outta-boredom
time, which is all good.
And this’ll make you laugh – I had to finish the white stitching
on the BFC, Ink brown jeans by hand.
Yup. I’ve been hand-sewing all day. At this rate, my hand sewing will soon
become decent. Hmpft !
