Took today to just relax and
get over things. And go through my neglected e-mail in-box. And my wreck of an
Arena. Found the Tiny Doll Sewing Challenge free
pattern I printed out from Wren*Feathers, and figured out that the bodice –
with some of the too-long back length snipped – would fit both the MH and MLP dolls, and that little scrap left from the Elsa fabric
snowglobe ornament.
It stitched up a bit
too…suggestive as a dress for MH (ok
as a high-waist skirt, though), but kinda cute on Rarity, so I worked it up
again, altering the bodice to make it longer, but keeping the original back
closure. Instead of a single skirt, I decided to go for a tiered one, letting
the fabric scraps dictate the skirts’ fluffiness and length. Came out OK, but a
bit loose along the sides. So I drew in a pair of darts, and we’ll see how they
go.
For now, I went ahead and
entered today’s image in the contest. Prize is three free similarly sized
patterns for a doll I don’t own, but what the heck. Since I don’t desperately
want the prize, it won’t be a big deal if I don’t win. I never do win these
kinds of contests, and it usually ends with me hating on myself and my limited skills,
so it’s rare for me to enter, but I think I can handle disappointment this
time.
