Sew Tiny...Sew Cute!

Yes, the tag line is correct! They are cute cute cute!
I went to Toys R Us today in an attempt to find new Zelfs - they tend to get new stock on Thursday/Friday - and instead I came home with some tiny adorable lalas!

I had the worst time trying to pick one. There were several packages. The large 10 pack, which was $10.99 and a smaller 3 pack for $3.99. The 10 pack has one hidden lala, so it's a surprise!
I bought 1 large and one small pack.

There are also larger house sets too. It's all sew cute!

Victorian Model in Scarlet

Well I have been on a bit of a sewing kick lately - I've been thinking I may reopen my Etsy Shop.

I really love making these Victorian type outfits. It consists of a bodice and skirt.
Because of the way I make these outfits, they can fit on both my Ellowyne Wilde and Mina, my 1/4th size BJD. Mina, though bustier than El, just has the laces looser on the back.
I've made 5 of these dresses so far, and most of them are some shade of purple. I truly love the bodices!
I made one outfit so see if I might sell it. I get so attached to my work!

Here it is! My Victorian Scarlet:
P.S. Don't mind the smudging in some of the pictures - my table is overrun by junk mail...
