Available Now: nautical inspired outfits for CED

I'm still not done with my Cissy shoe collection to go with my new Cissy fashions, so while waiting for my mold making materials I played with my CEDs and designed them a few new fashions.

I was in a nautical mood, so the 3 tops and 3 bottoms are all a bit nautical inspired.

warning: the quality of the pics is not the best - I still haven't set up a place for photo taking, usually the boys are around just when the light is fine..neither the other way around.LOL

So please bear with me, the pics are either too dark, too light and the backgrounds are not even..makes me really cringe. Next thing isI'm still fighting with blogspot how to make the pics clickable for enlarged views..not sure yet who won

I made 2 shorts in a sailor style, love how cute they turned out with the contrasting topstitching and the tiny buttons. Those pants actually open in the front - with snaps, as those tiny buttons are just for the look of it;-)! 

Sailor styled shorts are $45ea.

The back looks all nice and even - like the 'real thing'. 

The third pant is a jeans from dark blue denim in an actual silhouette, high waisted, wide at the hips and getting smaller the more you go down the legs. The front pockets are actually working.

The 3 top are all made from the same pattern, but since the fabrics drape differently the waterfall neckline looks different on all. Just like the pants they are without back closures. You put them on with the dolls feet first in and then gently pull them over the butt upwards. The neckband closes with a snap.

Dark blue with white dots and grayish/blue available, tops are $15 ea.

Next are the handbags, all are fully lined.

The handbag above with the denim handles and the zipper is $35. It consists of 11 pattern pieces plus lining that was quite challenging.

the pic below is heavily photoshoped to remove the uneven background...but on this pic you can see best how the two big pleats form a chevron pattern out of that striped fabric. $25

Colins golden chain necklace is $10.

In a few days we leave for our annual seaside vacation, now then it gets really nautical for me. And I can suck up even more nautical ideas.

Hope you enjoyed the new fashions!

AVABILITY: The dark blue denim shorts and the red/white striped top are gone.

after the weekend..new shoes

there was not a lot of time this weekend for working on doll stuff. Each day we did trips with the kids. We just came home to have a meal and to sleep.

However I even finished ONE pair if Cissy shoes for my new Cissy denim collection

They look a bit 'plain' - but that makes them great as a basic pair of shoes to go with many looks.

Really love that yellow fabric, it's a vintage boucle like fabric from my late grandmothers fabric stash, there is some dark blue/or black? thread running with which makes it looking interesting. 

This yellow fabric says 'Chanel' jacket all the time to me, so I think I'm going to do this week a modern version of a Chanel jacket (I think of elbow length arms) plus some dark blue denim skinny jeans. I worked on several pant patterns lately and they look so much better than those Cissy pants that I used to sew years ago.

This week I want o show you the first complete outfits, I made molds for stiletto heels and another type of wedges, so keep your fingers crossed that shoe turn out nice, I dont want to photograph the dolls with bare feet!!

When done with this Cissy collection the 16"folks are next!!!!Stay tuned!

Hugs,

Jule

A little PREVIEW on new stuff...

...I'm working on some new stuff for Cissy: dark blue denim, topstitched in white, with yellow and dark blue/white striped accents.

Please excuse the crappy quality of the preview pics, but I havn't found a good, light flooded place for picture taking yet ...

unusual use of piping

a stylish girl needs matching accessories, 

so handbag

nice deep back

and shoes, of course

and since I finally figured out how to make plateau sandals...

I have two more pairs in the works -  yellow and striped

 

and some chinos..that have nice details like a front joke, working front and piped back pockets(shown on a CED here)

Hope you enjoyed the appetizers, 

waving at you Jule
