London February Meet
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010Another great meet with lovely dollies and their owners.
Only hung out for a short while as had a Mika concert to go to in the evening, which was great btw!
So much candy! Thanks to all who sponsored that mountain!
Made Cinnamon an outfit that was just cut and sew but turned out really well despite that fact. Rather pleased with it actually. Sometimes the whole pattern making thing is just too tiring and boring.
Chibis by Krowbar are amazing! Named them Madicken and Elisabet after the Swedish novels by Astrid Lindgren. Madicken is a bit of a tomboy and trouble maker and her little sister Elisabet is more sweet and innocent – thought it fitted them well.
And made Elisabet a new dress that I thought would fit her but now has turned out too small due to the nature of the fabric – bummer – think I will have to sell it on Etsy… Don’t really see Hel wearing it – somehow a little too flowery – but maybe… Will leave it for a while anyway.

Lisabet in her new dress that turned out too small
The fabric I used for the Chrismas dresses had more natural stretch to it so they turned out bigger
Was not gonna do a dress but got this idea the night before. All just cut and sewn, no pattern, so truly a one-of piece
