Stitches: Pieces for Krystal Bailey

Did some sewing for Krystal Bailey.  I've had her for over a year and not made her anything, so she got an oversized cardigan and some thigh high stockings.  The thigh high pattern is from Requiem Art Designs.  The oversized sweater is my own pattern.  I like the teensy gap between her skirt and the thigh highs.  Very cute.

Christmas Unboxing: Phoebe & Jassy from Crybabies BFF

Merry Christmas!  I'm celebrating today with a double unboxing!  I got more than two dolls for Christmas, but I wanted to space them out, so the next couple will be in a few weeks.

My Doll Collecting Story for 2023

My dolly collecting life has been pretty exciting this year.  In January, I was collecting old Equestria Girls dolls.  By February, I had a few complete sets of the Mane 6, and a few Sunset Shimmer.  In March, I went back to Rainbow High YET AGAIN!  This time, instead on working on new characters, I started focusing on filling in older characters I didn't have dolls of yet, like Skyler Bradshaw.  In April, I tried out Crybabies BFF dolls.  Then, my spring and summer were jam packed with dolls.  In May, I got a bunch of Monster High g3 dolls, starting with a Twyla I got for my birthday.  June, I got a bunch more Monster High dolls.   Now I think I have 8.  July, I went absolutely nuts and rebought every FailFix doll I missed and wanted.

Stitches: Jenna and Katie's Pajamas

I spent most of my free productive time last week working on these pajamas for Jenna and Katie.  I drafted the patterns, I cut out and sewed the garments, then I painted cute designs on the front with fabric paint. I intend to also sew bathrobes and fuzzy socks, but we'll see how it goes.  I'm very pleased with the painting.  It doesn't look professional, but it looks personal.  Now I want to make jammies like this for all my dolls.  I have a lot of dolls, and more dolls incoming, so we'll see how it goes.
