I hope so too! Would be a shame to ruin the shirt before it was even fully finished -.-

Hahaha, that does sound dangerously distracting! But sewing clothes for dolls might be a great way to use up some leftover fabric scraps :)

Hm, the hair is probably a matter of practice and figuring out what works on the kind of doll that you have?

I managed to get the stain out of my shirt now, and I already ironed it (sadly, the fabric turned out to wrinkle quite a lot and it needs the ironing -.-), now I just need to take some pictures. Hopefully I'll manage to do that in the next few days, considering I'm on easter break right now.

I started working on the bobble bag yesterday, cut out some of the fabric and sowed around the edges so that I can start trying some ribbon embroidery on it now :) Probably won't start today though, since my bfs mom is coming over for dinner in an hour, so it feels like if I start now I'll have to stop so soon it will be frustrating, especially when trying out something completely new where you might need some time to figure out what to do.

Hm, weird, then one would expect it to just work... Good luck with the hotter water, maybe that'll help :)

Yeah, sewing clothes directly onto the body isn't really an option in real life :D
Maybe you could make a somewhat more loose dress and then tie a ribbon or something around her waist as a belt?
I could imagine some cute styles like that.

Oh, that sounds great! So much progress :) What do you still need to do on it? I'm sure it's not ugly, even if it has the imperfections of being a learner's piece.

That does sound annoying! Hm, the visit's over now, should I start? It's kinda late already, but I wanna :D Maybe I can just try one very simple flower tonight...

Edit: Ok, I did try :D
Here's what I managed: click
Obviously not perfect, but I think it looks okay as a start :)
I did have a really hard time getting the needle with the ribbon through the fabric at all though, so I'm wondering - is my ribbon weird, is my needle just too big (I used a kinda normal sewing needle I had lying around because the eye just fit my widest ribbon), is my fabric strange?
Do you have any tips on how to best stretch the fabric over the hoop? It seemed kinda loose the way I did it and that wasn't really helping my problems either.

Hm, that tugging while tightening sounds promising, I shall try that :)
I just put the fabric over the bottom hoop and kinda tried to pull on the sides while putting on the top hoop and two hands are not enough to make that really effective :D

Oh yeah, a wrap dress sounds cute too! :) Haha, I know how you feel, I want to continue my flower so much right now, but I should be doing exercises for uni -.-

That does sound like you're almost done with it! Hiding some messy parts with decorations sounds like a great idea, I'm curious how it will end up looking :)

Thank you! :) I like yours as well! And I see we both found the new fans exciting to play with ;)

Mine's not plastic, it's some kind of wood, so I guess there's hope for me yet ;)

Hahaha, oh well, one needs something beside work to make one happy! We discussed that just yesterday, because my bfs mom and me both think that he needs to find some kind of hobby to be less stressed out and frustrated by uni. I find crafting stuff incredibly relaxing and it takes my brain right off all the nasty stuff I might have piling up, it's so nice...
