Nichancraftroom ~ I Create!

I’m still trying to sew more neatly and precisely. I mean, right on the marking dots (~_~)”’. Even so, i’m so happy with the progress, I made. I’m starting to have some preference like whether I should serge it or not, when to use lining, interfacing.

There’s still a long way to go ahead but I’m going this far. I won’t stop. I like it. It’s another challenging besides sewing human clothes (^o^).

I’ll keep making my self have a progress each time…

I read and saw quite a lot of doll clothes. Although mostly is for 27cm, but sometimes, I took a look for larger size like for MSD.

I’ve been attempting to make a sheath dress (simple bustier dress) for my MSD. Apparently I always kept trapped in doll cloth making myth, like: using button, simple sewing (no serging or sew the seam edge) and pattern. I think it will be ok for some clothes type that doesn’t really-really need good fitting. But just as like my real human clothes, i want it FIT!.

I saw a sheath dress on a webstore. I was a little bit confused and been wondering since then…why would the use zipper? just for the sake of exclusivity or ‘couture’ term or…I felt strange since seeing those dresses again tonight, just before i tried to finish my own sheath dress.

Then, after I tried to finish my MSD sheath dress…i was like AHA! Now, i get it!!!!! It’s not just for the sake of couture or exclusivity, instead, it’s a MUST! They treat the doll cloth making like human cloth making.

Perhaps, it’s not really too necessary but if I want to get a great result, i must back to my sewing ‘basic’ theories. I mean, i’m going to apply the techniques on the doll. Actually, the sheath dress i just finished was revised in terms of pattern but unfortunately, silly me also, i didn’t follow up with good technique. the pattern making i did used the simple bustier technique i used for human. Not really in detail, since i use a different basic pattern but when changing it into sheath dress, i used the simple bustier pattern technique…boooyyyyzzzzz…what a day!!!!!!

I’ll be keeping attempting to make this sheath dress till i get the best result. I’ve been thinking to use zipper. I thought zipper used for dolls were special, but it seems the same as for human clothing. it’s just, i need to find shorter ones.

Perhaps, i’m exagerrating here, but well, each person has their own technique that suits them the best. And that technique is their strength in terms of doll cloth making (^_-)

I was thinking to finish my husband’s shirt so I can see whether it’s ok NOW. He’d been complaining about the colar. He said, it was too small.
I was frustrated since making the pattern and the rest of history, you can guess it…yep, MESSED UP!

I don’t like sewing man shirt because it’s boring and if there’s a complain, small complain about it, i must redo redo and redo again on small part, sewing 2-3 times to get it right, the same design, it’s killing me! Besides, actually, the pattern i was using was the basic pattern so, there should be nothing wrong about the colars. Somehow, he wanted it wider.

I told him today to go to the taylor and he was whining, refusing to go to taylor and kept insisting that he wanted me to sew his shirt(s). Ugh (>X<).

My husband is very noisy…perhaps, because i’m the wife. He wasn’t too much wish-wish wush-wush to other people but when it’s me, he will ask this, ask that, request this, request that…. (>x<).

I thought, after today’s sewing, i would ‘reward’ myself with doll clothing sewing but now, after that `#$!#%!$^@^#%&^ shirt sewing, really, i’ve lost my feeling in sewing…

Sewing man shirt is not difficult actually. It’s just I DON’T LIKE IT! (>x<). It’s boring. Sorry, but really, it’s boring! Less than 3 hours sewing turned out to be more than 3 hours sewing and it was all messy. I’ve never done such a terrible mistake. I usually controlled everything. It was like, i just wanted to get it done asap and don’t really care about the pattern.

I just made a new pattern, though. Even so, I won’t sew this man shirt again. Perhaps, after some weeks, i will…i don’t know. I love my husband but when it comes to man shirt, honey, please kindly go to the taylor.
