Trying new pants pattern

This is a minifee body.

Fabric is cotton. The cotton is a bit off standard. It’s slippery and thinner than usual.

If i want to make the crotch looks good, aside that pattern itself must be good, i must serge or sew near s seam edge.

Standard pants like this are easy to sew but the pattern is difficult. Pants pattern is difficult in terms of fitting. Use stretch denim or fabric to overcome this problem.

New Dress, Another new experience

I love this dress so much. So perfect with her character.

The top grey part is chiffon, lined with tulle. I think, i put myself in trouble by using tulle. O.o.

the bottom part or skirt is velvet. Hmmm…i am not sure whether velvet is good for doll size but in this dress matter, it’s fine.

The collar is the problem. I tried vertical cut for the collar. Long bias type of cut of fabric strap, gathered, and attached. The result is not too satisfying. Making round cut will be perfect. Next time i must try it.

i made bigger version for myself. Love this dress so much.

for bigger one i used same chiffon but the skirt i used kind of thin satin-like.
