I made a second cornhusk doll, so my Byuri can have one too. I figured I better just make it now while I still have the first one to compare to. It's so much easier copying a real sample, than working from an image on the computer. So here's Byuri posing with both cornhusk dolls.....
I'm working my way through cutting up some old clothes. They are all soft, silky brocades. These kinds of fabrics are not available in any fabric stores, so the only way to get them is by cutting up old clothes. There's old skirts, pants and several blouses.It's not much fun, but after ironing and folding, they will take up so much less space - and be all ready to use when I need them.
I also had to fix Narin's pants this morning. When I took him for the Father's Day photo, his pants wouldn't close at the back when he was seated. When I originally made his pants, the waistband was made to fit a bare waist, and I didn't take into account the extra thickness of his shirt and underwear. So he had a wide open split in the back.
There wasn't time to fix it before the photos, so I figured the magic of Photoshop would take care of it after the fact. Which it nicely did.... But it still needed to be fixed. So I had to pick off the old waistband, cut a new longer one, and replace it. Now it's all nice and neat, and Narin won't have any embarrassing splits in the back anymore.
