I MADE A ROMPER!

Yes yes yes, I used a YouTube tutorial passed on to me by @queenofsquids , I didn’t follow the tutorial to the letter as this garment was meant for an actual child. While the doll I’ve made this for is the hight of a child she’s still doll proportions.

I shorted this romper by omitting rows and increased allot less than what would be required for a 0-3 month sized garment.

I really enjoyed the work up of this stitch too, it’s not exactly the “V” stitch but it acts very similarly. I like how it almost has this “zigzag “ affect with the color changing yarn I’ve used here.

I think Lillian likes this romper. I definitely feel like the belt/drawstring makes all the difference between a playful child garment and a more fitted feminine jester sorta vibe.

Speaking of Jester vibes, Lillian probably could get away with it allot more if I were to make an outfit with this aesthetic intentionally. I only got the idea after popping one of my headdresses on her that happen to match the romper. I’m happy she likes my style, I haven’t thought to use a headdress on her till now.

All in all, a success! I love the colors, the stitch of the garment and I like how easily altering its scale was. I might make this again but for my Pear SmartDoll….

Till next time doll people!!

As mentioned on my main blog, I will be moving across continents soon and although this is hypothetically not a permanent move it will be for at least one year and potentially for multiple years. So it's a good time to finally time to get rid of the dolls that aren't being appreciated here. Many of my collection just straight up is things that nobody is looking for or would want to buy, so I'm not expecting to make money off this and may be down to part with them for very, very low prices. I'll be making formal sales posts in the future but here are a few dolls that I already know I'll be parting with so if friends are interested in any of them please let me know and I will cut you a very good deal:

Soom Namu WS Voice of Angels (no angel wings or original wig; has original faceup, eyes, tattoo, and skirt and also a pair of boots)

Soom Gena WS Smoky Day (has fullset outfit and original eyes, no original wig, eyelashes are gone and faceup appears to be rubbing off slightly...)

Soom Cass WS original release head (I am the third owner and don't have a CoA but have the entire list of previous owners with DoA handles as well as links to DoA feedback messages following its history)

DD Excellen Browning (blank doll) (had intended to customize her because I see a ton of potential in the sculpt for a semi real look bu I don't think it's happening at this point. has her fullset items but they're very damaged so I had intended to keep them for dissassembling and crafting/patterning but if you're interested in doing that yourself you can also have those. i probably have her eyes and wig too)

Elfdoll Ruru and Elfdoll Special K, both tan, both have slightly messed up/marked but still very beautiful original faceups (i might be able to get the marks off with magic eraser, i'll see. they're packed right now so i haven't tried.) i love these two dolls but i'm just doing NOTHING with either of them

Smartdoll Monday Tea head with default faceup (i have two heads of her now lol)

Adykadoll SWS silicon DD body *without bust*. i got a great deal on this and thought i could buy her a bust later and it hasn't come back for sale lol, maybe it can be someone else's problem.

there is a bunch more like wigs and accessories and stuff becuase i've been in this damn hobby for sixteen years now and also probably more dolls as i decide what i want to actually part ways with, but yeah if any people i know are interested in what i've mentioned above let me know. i'll take down this post to do formal listings in the future

2022 recap - Part 2

And here we are with the second part of this 2022 recap! I hope it will be shorter than the first half XD

- In July I got the results from the exams and I PASSED THEM ALL! I was so happy that all the sacrifices, the stress and the time took from sewing finally had a meaning but I was also really scared because that means that In september my life will drastically change...I will be a teacher OMG! I was hoping to pass but I really wasn’t expecting it... But it was finally time to go back sewing full time, I had a lot of backlogs and some delayed commissions to deliver so I made the final rush for Emma Swan and Regina Mills cosplays from Once upon a time along with other commissions from My Etsy shop (another Todoroki Fantasy cosplay, another Momo Yaoyorozu hero suit and a season 1 version of Bakugo shirt...it was really a month dedicated to My Hero Academia XD)

Also I managed to finish on time one of the biggest embroidery project since 2B in 2021, a yukata covered in leaf embroideries. I enjoyed this project so much and I really was so upset that I cannot use my embroidery machine in all the ways I planned at the beginning of the year!

I also sewed the last Princess Serenity gown of the year, for a 1/4 BJD.

- In August we finally went back to travel and after few days on the mountains we finally flyed again to Norway and it was one of the best holiday in a while! I took almost 15/20 days off to try to recover my health but the season of the biggest conventions here in Italy was about to start so I needed to resume sewing as soon as I can.

During August I also decided to close my Etsy shop for a while (it’s still closed right now) because I received a very big order when we were on holyday and it really stressed me out because as a matter of fact, I didn’t have the time to make it at all....but I maneged anyway! It was a groom outfit based on the Dracula cosplay I did few years ago.

The cosplays due for this month (for a convention at the beginning of September) were a quite easy summer kimono (or yukaya) and again a very big embroidery project! Rapunzel dress based on the doll version, one of my favourite of the year for sure! I was also really happy to sew a male version of Lucy Heartfilia from Fairy Tail (even if I don’t like her character so much the anime is one of my favorite at the moment !)

Also at the end of August I received the news that I was officially a teacher in a Fashion and Graphic Design High School here in Milan and starting from the 1st of September I had to go to school everyday! So to celebrate this event I bought another Smartdoll XD This time the head only (I will buy the body around December as a birthday gift from a very nice girl from Finland) so here it is Moment, or Sonhora, as Violaine sister.

- September was starting and so my high school career, but also I need to deliver some cosplays until December (i’ve orders until February if I have to be honest XD) so again no rest at all...School in the morning and sewing like crazy in the evening/night! Even with this crazy schedule I manage to deliver quite a few cosplays...while I was getting used to my new schedule I sewed some “easy” projects: a Ravenclaw Quidditch robe and one of the outfit Arshes Nei wore in the Bastard reboot serie

Meanwhile I made some friends at school among my colleagues and it was really nice meeting new people after so long time. Also the girls I have to teach were slowly starting to open up to me and with the majority of them I have a really good relationship right now.

- October as per usual is my busiest month as here in Italy we have the Lucca Comics and Games convention, one of the biggest in Italy and in Europe and I always have a lot of big works to deliver. This yeas was no exception and I had three big projects! I started a bit of each of them during the previous months so I didn’t start from scratch but it was soooo exausting anyway

The projects were Shionne from Tales of Arise, Merida from Brave in an alternative outfit and Kadaj from Final Tantasy 7 AC. I was really excited to sew all of them but at this point I was so exausted to sew that I didn’t enjoy them as much as I expected and that really sadden me a lot. 

I also manage to sew just in time a new Halloween outfit for my dolls to take some pictures in the Halloween weekend. 

- I really don’t remember at all what I did in November, even if it’s so close in time. I think i just rested and cleaned my sewing lab and trying to get hold of my life again XD Also during this month I decided to put cosplay commissions on hiatus because even doing quotations was becoming a real struggle for me and I still don’t know right now when I will be able to resume taking them.

- Between November and December I worked on some old works that needed mending or alterations (I will deliver the last one in a few days) and started to rest in a proper way. Right now I am still on holyday (only for a couple of days alas!) and before this week on the Mountains I was at my parents’ house for Christmas. Of course I brought Violaine to sew some new clothes and take new pictures.

And as December is also the month of my Birthday I really make use of my new paycheck and bought a lot of gifts for myself XD Two girls from the new Shadow High serie (Natasha and Shanelle) and as I said before a second hand body for my second Smartdoll Sonhora. I know, a lot of dolls, but this was supposed to be my "dolls year".. (I also gifted myself an iPad for Christmas XD)

What a year! It happened a lot and it was quite difficult to remember everything to write this entry (it took me more than 5 days to finish it!) A lot of good things happened so I really cannot complain but I was hoping for a different year this time after the 2020 and the 2021...

Who knows that 2023 will bring, I think I will finally adjust to my new life as a teacher but at the same time I will do my best to start sewing again, but with a slower pace...and for a while I will focus more on the things I enjoy making (dolls clothes, embroideries, developing new skills....) until I will be mentally and physically ready to start taking commissions again.

So as we’re almost a week in the 2023 (I started writing this entry on the 2nd of January) I was glad I was able to look back at my last year and see how much I’ve accomplished. It was such a frantic year that I didn’t realize how many things I’ve sewed while studying like crazy for almost half of the year and starting a new job. I also bought a lot of gifts for myself ahahah...next year I have to limit myself a bit!

As for New Year Resolutions, I really don’t have much planned: on a personal level I just want to be healty again (resume my daily yoga and pilates lessons and eat better) and spend more quality time with my family (my boyfriend and my cat here in Milan and the rest of my family in Rome as well). And also finally try to catch up with all the tv series I’ve lost these years I was so busy (Stranger Things, House of Dragon, Dark, the Boys...just to name a few - and I’ve already started as I’ve binge watched Wednesday during these holidays and I’ve almost done with Mirai Nikki (it passed so long that I almost don't remember when I started watching it) On a working/hobby level I just wanted to be back to enjoy what I sew again and to finally be able to re-open my Etsy shops (at least for cosplay sewing patterns and the dolls one), to sew a lot of items in my whishlist and to start using my stash materials more instead of buying new things! I also really wanted to start again learining new thigs, I hope to be able to commit more to Skillshare courses this year (the first thing I wanna learn is how to use Procreate properly now that finally I have an iPad XD) and maybe open the Youtube Channel I was talking about at the end of 2021!

And this was my 2022, how about yours? Did your year went as planned or like mine went totally downhill? XD I hope to be more consistent here on my blog too this year and to post at least one entry per month!

I really wish you all a wonderfull 2023 and let’s work hard together to have the best year in a while! ❤️

She’s so cuuute ✨

Gokidoll Miimy on a Dollmore Glamor Eve body. The resin match is perfect - the head in semi-white and body is NS. She’s using Smartdoll eyes. I wasn’t sure about such a mature curvy body for her, but after trying an outfit with more modest coverage I fell in love with the combo! Hoping to find a more permanent outfit.

How many of you are familiar with the fantasy role-playing series Tales Of? The series started 25 years ago on the Super Famicom with the title Tales Of Phantasia. This year on September 10th will see the launch of the 17th title in the series "Tales Of Arise" on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PS4, and PC by Bandai Namco. Comrade Yusuke Tomizawa-san is the producer of Tales Of Arise who is also responsible for God Eater and Code Vein. Back in 2019 we discussed a Smart Doll of the heroine in Arise who is called Shion. This is a Smart Doll prototype of Shion which at this point in time is only for promotional purposes as our production line is completely full. For now. Search for "Tales of Arise" or "テイルズ オブ アライズ" in Japanese for more info.

Smartd0lls are some of the least sexy type of dolls out there, guess dollfie dream belongs in that category too, but I just see way more people trying to make smartdolls sexy. They're just so boring, there's nothing about them, that makes it look good, when they're put in risky outfits, and it just reminds me of the absolutely simp way Ch0o referred to their boobs as "Beggars canyons". I'm not into sexing up dolls to begin with, but smartd0lls, and d0llfies just look ridiculous in that style.

Smart doll Saturday! I finally remembered to take some photos of the outfit sets I made for Mum! Coco and Ella now match! But they wanted different base colours. You can just about see the pocket lining on the shorts match the sports tops. ☺️ I hope you like them, I definitely want to make at lest some of the tops for Etsy. #AngelsCave #SmartDoll #SmartDollByDanny #SmartDollJulia #SmartDollChitoseMultiverseCoco #SmartDollSewing https://www.instagram.com/p/CS1Y9dIjDoc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Trying To Find A Doll

[May 4, 2021]

Alright, so I’m desperately trying to find a doll that has movable joints so that I can begin making doll clothes for children’s dolls (or grown ups like myself).

So far I am struggling with finding a doll. Walmart has no pickup or delivery options for all the Barbie Made To Move dolls. This is the doll I wanted!

I guess I have to order off Amazon and pay unreasonable prices for a fucking doll. I might as well get a SmartDoll (I think that’s what it’s called?) instead but than the doll clothes may not fit Barbie dolls which is my aim towards making doll clothes as Barbie dolls are the most popular amongst kids.

I plan on getting different fabrics to make many outfits, some won’t be for sale but other simple designs will be.

I may even make a wedding gown for my doll, and if somebody absolutely wants it I’ll sell it for the right price depending on how long it took me and the prices of materials.

I just hope I can get just a single doll soon!

For adults I will have an adult line of doll clothes that will be in a book marked “Adult Doll Clothes” I’ll have a main book with all other normal clothes that are appropriate for all ages.

New dolly day!! 🤩♥️✨✨✨

My Smartdoll Prowess came today!! She is SO FREAKING CUTE!!!!!

I have an outfit and wig for her (that I've been holding on to for her for like, two years....), and I got her some elf ears and a new bust, also, so the next step is to get her all dolled up in her own things!

Smartdolls being marketed at children is such a ridiculous thing. Should I buy 1 doll, that can't handle even mild play, breaking pretty quickly. OR should I buy 20 barbies for the same price, who actually come with clothes. Where you'd have to buy each outfit extra.
