New dolls to play with

I just received my first Blythe dolls this week. I have 2 Petite and 1 Neo to design clothes and patterns for. I also finished and uploaded to Etsy a RealPuki sweatshirt and jeans pattern. That project took a bit of time. The PukiPuki version was uploaded last week.
Image_8.png I have the Petites, Amelia Thimble, and a RealPuki lined up for size comparison. I can't believe the Petites have the smallest bodies. The Caribbean Jewel on the left has had a makeover started. I can't believe the Takara company thought it was a good idea to just chop her hair off. Without her hat she looks like the victim of a lawnmower accident.Image_9.pngImage_12.pngI believe the dreads are a vast improvement. I still need to do more with her makeup.
The Neo looks awesome, even if she isn't an official release.
Image_7.pngThe RealPuki has actual belt loops on those jeans and a real pocket on the front of that sweatshirt.

Puki names

I just realized neither of my PukiPuki's have names. Tragic really. Piccolo and Beag,(Aggie) had names before they arrived. What's her name was named soon after she arrived, even if I can't remember what it is, it was a nice name. Ahh, problem solved for one of them, at least. Rowan is the model for our latest PukiPuki Sewing pattern. --SinΓ©ad

Sewing Books πŸ“š from Japan

I just received two books πŸ“š on sewing for your Blythe dolls from Japan. πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ They are awesome! If I could read the text it would only get better. The amount of detail contained within the pictorial descriptions is incredible! I have ordered some dolls and I wanted to be inspired to make patterns and actual clothes to sell. I think I picked the right books for that. I'm also working on my Puki patterns, jeans πŸ‘– are the current project.Image_5.jpg

I decorated the table for spring. It will be interesting to see how long it stays put.Image.jpg

RealPuki sweatshirt

I've been trying to fine tune my pattern for a PukiPuki and RealPuki sweatshirt with limited success. Today I finished testing the latest incarnation and I'm quite happy with it. My sales have steadily improved and I hope 🀞 the trend will continue. I've finished developing a crochet pattern for a Chibi Bear 🐻 and gotten it listed for sale. I've also done the groundwork for accessories. I hope to get all four new patterns finished in the next week or so.πŸ­πŸ¦„
Happy spring equinox!! 🌸
