*little black lolita style

i recently found this lovely black and white fabric with a little chess pattern print and it was love at first sight.
So yesterday, i sat down and started sewing a little black lolita style dress for Blythe and Pullips.
It is not yet 100% finished, the closure on the back is still missing, so is the head hairpin, but Apple is ready to go to see Alice in Wonderland this weekend she said, so is Antoinette


As for me, i honestly have to say, i am not quite sure yet, if i absolutely have to see this movie or better not - although i am a huge Tim Burton fan - but if i should be positive surprised, the better!
From what i have seen from the previews it reminds me a little bit too much of Charlie and the Chocolate Fabric, which was just a little bit too colourful and a little bit too over the top for my liking.
Also, i actually don´t like the fact, that Avril Lavigne worked on the soundtrack. The music video is playing with too many Dark Alice clichés. Well, Well, but enough of it now! :D
Here is one of the trailers (with Avril)

*carnival

i altered the pattern from the cream white dresses a bit and out comes this.

*productive week

i have catched a cold the last days and couldn´t leave the house, so i took the chance for making more clothes for the shop and for my Petits.

I have made a similar dress of *mushrooms delights for Blythes and Pullips.

If you haven´t noticed already, bu i am not only addicted to Petits lately, but also to sewing new dresses for those little girls . It´s so much fun fun fun! Try yourself!
Sooo~, here are two new dresses:

First one is just a simple one, but i loooove the fabric.

Second one is a folklore inspired dress set. i have seen a similar hairpiece somewhere before, that´s propably where i got the inspiration from, but i can´t remember the place anymore... ^_^;

All dresses are available at It´s a Tafetta Day*.
Take a look :)

That´s it for today, have a nice sunday my friends,
I will visit The Oktoberfest tomorrow, i am sooo looking forward

It fits both Blythe and Pullip.

Made from high quality cotton yarn, it is fully crocheted by hand with sweet appliques like ribbons, beads and a little bonbon felt apliquee.
I used textile glue to make the felt appliquee more stable.
And finally, it closes with velcro in the back.

*Petits Fours (rosé)

The second dress of this serie. Fits both Blythe and Pullip. I chose a sweet pastel light Rosé colour for this one. With sweet ribbon, lace like stichings in light blue and little beads at the bottom.



i have so much fun with those little dresses, Citron and Lavender will follow up soon!

*the arrival

remember this post a few days ago?
Well, the german post offices worked hard for me this week. Sent out on friday, there was a big package waiting for me on saturday evening after work.

A new girl is in the house now: She´s a Pullip Cinciallegra ..... and she is FANTASTIC! ^_^b
I didn´t expect her so much bigger than Blythe, i wonder if anything fits her, what my girls own, we will see. But for now, i still love her stock outfit.
She looks like a little snowflake and makes my heart melt away.
I am still thinking about a name.... possible choices so far: Saraj, Maja, Yuki (of course), ....

Anybody has some idea about popular pullip forums? C´mon girls: i know you do ... ,)
