Spent the week making two custom-order little pink lace dresses for LittleFees, since the ones I made for Cinnamon are a touch too small. Now I'm working on designing well-fitting patterns for my Super Gem. There are several outfits I have planned for her - a pink/lavender fairy, a spring goddess, and a Celtic maiden - but first I have to design bodice patterns for all three outfits. The problem is the doll's large bust and very small waist. It's a lengthy process - make paper-towel test patterns , then sew a fabric bodice, try it on, make adjustments, sew another test bodice, and so on - until I like the results. Even though I'm normally a 'patient' person, I don't like 'experimenting' and I want things to work the first time. I'm really looking forward to seeing Cuprit in her first outfit!
