Anonymous asked: what do you use for the eyes on your dolls?

For the AT people I mostly use little beads that look like kettlebells, so that it has a nicer cleanera finish, I don’t know what they are called though. Sometimes, like on the Water Nymphs, I use a paint liner you know the ones for outlining t-shirts? For anything else AT, I usually crochet the eyes.
I think I’ve used rhinestones once for Pinkie Pie and the other little ponies. For the monster high I painted on a fleece type of fabric and sealed it then I glued it on and added cheap falsies. Hope I helped :)

Lately I haven’t been crocheting because I have no yarns at my disposal. Which it why I’m super tardy at posting up patterns in my store.
I have been learning to sew though because dressmaking runs in my family and I want to open up a new world of possibilities for myself. So far I’ve sewn a skater skirt, pleated shorts and a plain pocketed skirt. Last night however I undertook a project I’ve been wanting to make for a long long time, a bustier. I made it out of a stretch frankenstein’s monster denim (with zipper arm straps), I haven’t added any bones because it doesn’t curl up too badly but I might.

Anonymous asked: Is there any way you would do YouTube tutorials on these patterns?? These are AMAZING!! Best I have ever seen! Thanks so very much!!!

I could and I probably would in a few months when I settle in, after I move. I figure should because some things are pretty difficult to explain in patterns so I should show how its done ^_^
