corispice Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 For a long time I wanted a Blythe doll, and in July my boyfriend got me one for my birthday. Then for Christmas he got me 2 more! I think they are so cute, and they fit in with my other hobbies (I'd love to make them a 1/6 scale house or shelf house, and I also love to collect Re-ment and other cutesy Japanese goods). People sell Blythe clothes all over Etsy, but they are so expensive, so I've been teaching myself to sew. I also got a sewing machine for Christmas! Anyway, the dresses on the brown haired doll in both pictures I made by hand from free patterns on the internet. I'm really proud of the striped one b/c it has a collar that looks like a collar and the sleeves aren't wonky like mine usually are. Also, it has bust darts! Yay!

LLyn M. Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I only have one Blythe doll.They are soooooo cute!! You did a great job on the brown dress!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made by Barbara Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Well done Corinne!!! You did wonderful for teaching yourself! I know people who have sewn along time that avoid stripes and plaids because it is easy to tell when things aren't right on, your dress looks perfect!!! Have fun with your girls!!! Hugs, Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannonc60 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Nice work Corinne! All it takes is practice! I too love Blythe dolls (20++ Blythe in my collection?? Too many to count!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corispice Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 You have 20? That is insane! Which one is your favorite? I would love to have a Bow Wow Trad but they are so expensive. Thanks for the compliments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannonc60 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Ummmm don't really have one favourite, but I am particularly partial to my French Trench (first one), a Mademoiselle Rosebud whose hair I dyed cherry red, and Night Flower. I've always regretted not getting Merry Skiier and Darling Diva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
