Dollieh Sanctuary

Now, let me first tell you: I did not make Ellie these pants. I was supposed to, when my mom came over this afternoon to teach me how to use my sewing machine, but once I showed her the legging pattern my Ellowyne Wilde friend gave me once (we widened it a little bit), she started working and didn't stop. She enjoyed herself so much that she wouldn't let me help. Lol! Once the jegging was done she finally showed me how to use the sewing machine, hahahaha. Oh, and the best part: when her boss called, she proudly told him she was making doll clothes with her daughter and she squeed like a little girl when I showed her Ellie's sneakers. I think my mom is starting to like my hobby.

.... But I'm still not telling her how much Ellie cost me and that she was actually an extremely good deal at $130! XD









Ellie can almost come outside with me for pictures! She does still need a coat though, which will be hard for a sewing noobie like me. My mom had a great tip in that department too: just make her a poncho. Easy peasy!

I love my mom <3

Yay! You had a dolly play date with your Mom!

Lol, yes I did!
My mom was shocked by Ellie's weight lol. She had a hard time posing her XD

At some points she even said "Tell her to hold her head still, you're her mom"

I'm really glad that your mom's taking a liking to the hobby. And the outfit looks great!

Aww, she's adorable! I'm a real fan of the floor-length hair, too ^.^

If you're looking to make her a jacket, I had a lot of success with the winter coat tutorial on BJD Magazine ( http://bjdmagazine.com/2010/12/27/tutor ... er-jacket/)

It's really easy to make! You use craft felt and don't need to line it or anything. And if you play around with the pattern, you can customize it to suit yours (and Ellie's!) tastes.

Have a lot of fun with her!

That is awesome!! I have felt lying around in lots of colours! And thanks btw guys, I love her wig too btw, with or without the braid, it's very cute
