🐬🫧Meeshell and Lagoona take on the beach!🫧🪸

Two of the best fishy girlies in paradise! I absolutely had to make a cross over piece of these two and had so much fun with it! Can you tell I miss the beach? I definitely need to draw Meeshell in her mermaid form at some point, maybe it’ll be another cross over piece with revamped Great Scarier Reef Lagoona🤔

(It’s so tragic how desaturated it is but idk how to fix that💔)

My Catty Noir restyle!! I made all the clothes myself :))

Sewing doll clothes!!

Tights/fishnets!

Tights make any outfit look cool. This is a really easy beginner project. Let’s make some! (I recommend reading through the whole post before starting!!)

Start by finding the doll you want to make tights for and a roll to plastic/cling wrap. (I’m using a Barbie, but you can use any doll!)

Cut a small rectangle, enough that you can wrap this around the doll’s leg and have extra on the side

Get the doll’s leg on the plastic wrap, over to one side. Then, you’re going to fold it over the dolls leg to cover it completely. It should fold like a U, touching but not wrapping around. DO NOT USE THE EXCESS TO WRAP AROUND THE EDGES!!

Move the excess plastic to the back of the leg (this is where the seam will be when we sew)

If it helps you, draw a line where the plastic wrap connects to each other. Cut the plastic where your line is

Take the plastic off the dolls leg and place it on a piece of paper, then trace. It doesn’t have to be perfect, mine is quite lopsided!

Cut your pattern out!

(Sorry for the pattern looking like this lmao) fold your pattern in half, then find the half thats smaller. Make a line like the photo above, and cut! Congrats, You will have a symmetrical pattern for doll tights!!

If something doesn’t make sense, just ask! I’m happy to help :))

Part 2 soon bc I hit the photo limit :)

Tights/fishnets pt.2

Now to sew!

(TW: needles/pins)

Please read the whole post before starting this project!!

First, find your fabric. It HAS to be 4 way stretch, which means you can stretch it up/down and left/right. If it isn’t 4 way stretch, you may not be able to get the tights on your doll.

Grab the pattern you made and you fabric!! If you want to make two tights (a pair) fold your fabric over like the photo. The cut around the pattern, where the dotted lines are in the photo.

Pin you pattern to the rectangle of fabric. Then cut to your pattern shape.

Then you will have these weird shapes!!

Optional: hemming the top of the tights

Take the top of the tights and fold them over, then pin. It should look like in the photo. Then sew over the folded bit of fabric (it might be hard to sew this, so I recommend putting a piece of paper underneath the fabric to help)

Fold your pieces in half and pin on the raw edge

I recommend having a piece of paper underneath your fabric as you’re sewing so you machine doe not eat the fabric. If you are hand sewing, you do not need this paper.

Sew! use 1/8th inch seam allowance while sewing (really close to the edge) do this to both

Rip your tights free! Make sure to get all the paper out of the seam

Pt 3 ! I hit the photo limit again :/

Tights/fishnets pt.3

Finishing the tights!!

Cut all the extra strings on the tights (do this right now before you inside-out the tights)

Inside-out the tights!!

Try the tights on your doll!! Mine could have been shorter and have tighter ankles, but you can change your pattern to fix any of your problems!!

Now your dolls are very stylish!!

Any questions are welcome!! :))

Sewing doll clothes

Tight skirt

A tight skirt pattern!! I recommend reading through the whole post before starting!!

(TW: pins/needles)

You need:

-a doll (I have an ever after high doll)

-Knit/jersey fabric (any 4 way stretch fabric)

-paper

-marker/pen/pencil

-sewing machine (with thread!!)

-scissors

-pins

First, grab your doll!! I have an ever after high doll, but this works for any doll. Then, draw around your dolls hips just like in the picture. You can then make you skirt any length you want

Move your doll away, and add 1/8th” seam allowance to the top and bottom of the pattern

Cut your pattern out!!!

Find your fabric!! It needs to stretch up and down and left to right!! Jersey/knit/spandex is good

Fold your fabric over and pin your pattern to your fabric

Cut your fabric and you will have 2 pieces!

Next, take the top of one of the pieces and fold the fabric over a bit (look at the picture above)

Then pin. Do that to the bottom and the second piece of fabric too (hopefully it will look like the photo)

Use paper under your sewing so your pieces don’t get eaten by the sewing machine!!

Sew!! Sew both the top and bottom folded parts on both pieces!!

Pt. 2 !! Hit the photo limit :((

If something doesn’t make sense, ask!!

Sewing doll clothes

Tight skirt pt.2

Tight skirt! You will NEED to read the first post to understand this one! As always, read the whole post before you start!!

Rip your pieces out of the paper!!

Now, match the top and bottom together, putting the two “pretty” sides together (the sides that are hemmed and nice) and pin them together

Sew the two sides in the photo (un-hemmed sides)

Rip the skirt from the paper and trim all excess threads

Then inside-out the skirt!!

Now you have a skirt!!

Questions welcome!! Enjoy :)))

WIP Draculaura outfit!

Both the shirt and pants were made with @cosmomoore ‘s patterns! (Thank you!!)

For garden mysteries Draculaura (as usual :3) I can’t wait to get my claws on her when she comes to Canada!! (More details under the cut!)

I worked so hard on these pants!! The lace on the bottom, the embroidery, the star chain… I did such a good job :)))) She’s going to wear a different shirt tho, I just haven’t made it yet :P
