In a doll sewing book I have, I saw a pattern for a long-sleeved jumpsuit. I thought I'd adapt the idea slightly by sewing two of Sarah's garments together to make one more suited for the Australian heat. It might be just about the easiest new piece of clothing I've made! It's the perfect little… Continue reading Try New Things
Hanging Around
These photos show the progression of a recent Mollie Makes freebie project, which was originally a necklace (the big white bit at the top was for folding over the chain). And here's the finished embroidery, which I made into a mini wall hanging, tadaaa! I really like the little vines at the top, especially the little… Continue reading Hanging Around
Working Pockets!
I finally got working pockets on the shorts! They're not as neat as I'd like, and the holes are perhaps a little large, but I'm still happy. Sarah really needed these shorts, as it's getting up to 37ºC here (98.6ºF). I don't know if I'll make a third pair that aren't denim yet, unless I… Continue reading Working Pockets!
Flakes
As you've probably guessed by the picture, cornflakes made it into Sarah's miniature life recently. I made three extra bowls because it's always good to have some spares hanging around for impromptu ice cream yoghurt with berries. The cornflakes are tiny squares of brown paper scrunched up and stuck in white paint, to look like… Continue reading Flakes
Brighten the Black
In a mad rush of inspiration, I've been doing a little crochet lately. "I wonder what these weird bowl things will be?" I hear you ask. Well, they turned into headphone covers for my very black, very boring headphones. I wanted to use some yarn left over from a Mollie Makes kit, but I barely… Continue reading Brighten the Black
Project Roundup
I've been spending a lot of time rolling paper into bowls, ready to be filled with teeny portions of cereal. I've also made the cereal boxes as well as some waffle boxes. I still need to fill the bowls with cereal, and I want to make a waffle machine as well as some waffles, though… Continue reading Project Roundup
Shorts with Pockets
As Sarah only has one pair of summer shorts, I decided to make her a few more pairs, and I wanted to try and put pockets in them. For my first attempt, I'm pretty happy with how neat it is. The pocket is, however, a little small. The shorts were also made differently, to allow… Continue reading Shorts with Pockets
Spaghetti!
The pasta has been cooked... ...and the sauce has been made... ...ready for Sarah's first attempts at cooking savoury dishes: spaghetti! I made three little servings of pasta with sauce on top, so I can use this dish at the Three Broomsticks as well. I also made some uncooked pasta, and a serving of pasta… Continue reading Spaghetti!
Patience
Guess what book I bought recently. *over-excited squealing* I've only been waiting two years for this beautiful book, and it's finally here! Kingdom of Ash is about 100 pages longer than Winter, at 980~ compared to Winter's 824 pages, making KoA my longest novel. It came with this promotional bookmark, which has the entire series on… Continue reading Patience
Project Roundup
After watching the first three episodes of the Thirteenth Doctor, I noticed that her coat has a slit in the back, so for the sake of accuracy, I added it to my miniature one. While I'm making alterations, I figured I'd put a band on the bottom of the denim jacket, for added realism. Sarah… Continue reading Project Roundup
