Blythe raglan dress sewing pattern (Free Pattern)

A few years ago I modified some existing patterns into a Blythe raglan dress pattern. I used it a batch of times and then forgot about it. It's been languishing in a pile of human sized patterns until rescued in a recent clear out. This dress is unlined and features raglan sleeves and a cowl neckline. As with previous Blythe patterns it should fit both the standard factory body, a licca body and/or a flection pure neemo XS. Photographs below are shown on a flection pure neemo XS.

DIY fabric Pandora style european bead bracelet

About 8 years ago I came across these lovely modular bracelets in a small jewelery store in Montreal. That was the beginning of my obsession with European Beads. Now there everywhere. These days you can buy or make all sorts of bracelets in metal, leather, string and fabric to show off your beautiful beads. The pattern below is for a triple wrapped silk fabric bracelet.

As modeled by Vera, a rubber hand I found in the office. Doesn't she look pretty?

Blythe Coraline Dress – free knitting pattern

This Blythe Coraline Dress was more than a little bit inspired by the movie Coraline. For the knitted up version of the dress shown below I was lucky enough to find mini skeins of hand spun yarn from a seller at Yarndale that had silver sparkles spun in!

Lalaloopsy Free Sewing Pattern – Reversable Halter Dress

This pattern is for a reversible dress for Lalaloopsy 13" dolls. I've been having difficulty finding any Lalaloopsy Free Sewing Patterns. One of the most basic patterns for any doll is the reversible dress. Alas my Google mojo failed to find me one sized for my LaLa. Oh woe betide. Armed with a ruler and my trusty french curve I battled for... well... at least a couple of hours. This war has now been won. Hopefully someone else will find it useful also.
