Pattern from Puchi Collective (Blythe Party Dress).
Model: Belarus
Fabric is from an old dress shirt (decided to use ‘bad’ fabric before sewing with those pretty fat quarters that I’ve got neatly folded in my room righ tnow.

I totally need to give the bodice another iron… It’s not laying very nicely on her.

Also, need to sew in a snap in the back. I need to buy more, I won’t have any left after sewing one into the back of this dress.

And another of my lovely model, just because. The fabric totally reminds me of grid paper.

I found some time while watching Two and a Half Men to make this. The crocheting portion went like a breeze, the time consuming part was sewing the metal snap and then sewing on the button (… to cover up all the stitches from sewing in half of the metal snap.

Materials: black 100% acrylic yarn, 1 black metal snap, 1 red plastic button with anchors (see second photo for more detail)

Model: Sophie

I hadn’t really planned on making earrings for my friend’s birthday gift. But then I remmebered that I had this silver star charms and knew that I wanted to use them for something. They’re a little small to be more than accents on a bracelet or a necklace, so I decided that earrings would be the way to go, that way they’d also be the main attraction of the piece itself.

The charms and beads are upcycled and antiqued silver fishhooks were used.

My friend Charlene was having a birthday, so I wanted to make her something. I found this pattern a while ago, but never had the time to make it (and well, with summer, all I really have is time).

The pattern is called “Beanie Brim Cap” by Hannah Levine. The pattern is available for free and you can find it at Ravelry.com.

In the photos, it’s being modeled by one of my teddy bears (Elijah) and the keyboard of my laptop.

I showed you my first progress photo in my last entry (Sweater Progress – Part 1). Here is Part 2 & the completed Blythe sweater!

I used size 2 needles, grey acrylic yarn and the Sleeves a Go Go Sweater pattern.

Here is all the completed pieces (1 front, 2 sleeves, 2 back halves). This is from this morning at around 2am.

All the pieces sewn together and flipped back the right way. The ends are from the back pieces (I haven’t sewn in metal snaps yet in the back):

And then here’s the completed (sans snaps) sweater on Sophie, my Blythe doll. Her hat is crocheted in worsted weight cream wool that has small light brown and light grey flecks in it.
