My name is Mon. This account is meant to be for photos of my dolls my sewing creations and my inspirations, but other random things may slip in there from time to time. I post a lot!

All doll photos taken by me unless otherwise stated.

Patterns? Tutorials?

Over the past few months I’ve been thinking about doing a couple of things - patterns and tutorials. Patterns take a lot of time to make and perfect, so they’re awhile off. I need to scan them into my computer and clean them up, photograph the steps and write out clear instructions, and then pass this all on to a few friends to see if what I’ve done actually works and makes sense! So as you can see, lots of work and time has to be invested into them.

But tutorials don’t take as much time. I wouldn’t be doing so much pattern based ones, as technique ones - explaining finishing techniques, how to work with certain fabrics, ect. I’m going to write a basic tips one up soon, as it doesn’t require photographs, but in the future I’m also planning a tutorial on gathering (mainly about having the right amount of fabric to get appropriate fullness), how to work with knit fabrics (including a separate tutorial on collars on knit tops), lining a jacket/coat, and how to make a tiered skirt. Of course these would all be bjd based.

Would people be interested in these? Also, if anyone has any other things they’d like to learn, or any patterns they’d like to see from me, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. :)
