Moxie Teenz Sewing for Gavin

I have been sewing for Moxie Teenz Gavin :)

 My patterns include Bowling shirts and Parachute pants--Gavin and his buddies have been shopping at the 80's speciality thrift store!

Albi

Bodhi

My newest custom Gavin--his name is Caleb!

Just chillin' with the dogs waiting for snaps to be sew on their shirts :)

I just put this on Ebay as seperates--I wonder if it will sell? I have never seen Gavin clothes for sale anywhere.

I actually went to Joann's today (COUPONS!!!) and bought only "boy" fabric--because everything I have is girly!  Boring--est shopping trip ever--I went mad for plaid though--got several and few checks and a linen with a gray stripe.
The next patterns that I am working on are PJ pants, Jeans and long sleeve shirts--like the one on Caleb.

DIY Mohair Doll Wig

 I made a Mohair wig for Cinnamon! I am really happy with how it turned out--she looks so sweet and the scale of this mohair is very appropriate for her size it looks more realistic than her original hair. I read and looked at many techniques for Mohair wigs, my version is a little from here a little from there. There are lots of tutorials and different ideas, for example: the wefts can be sewn instead of glued, there are tons of things to make wig caps out of and techniques can vary by doll size and the type of mohair.
This is my second Mohair wig using loose mohair--and this is how I did it.

Steampunk'd Crissy

Raven and Max  just got off a steam powered jet plane.

 I have been an admirer of Steampunk for ages-but never successfully attempted to make an outfit for my dolls--I did try one time--on a Monster High Frankie but it did not succeed--I think now that Frankie is just too small for me to sew anything for--I totally admire those of you who can sew for her or other tiny dolls like Blythe, Barbie or mini BJD's--bless your nimble fingers and eagle eyes :)

The goggles are made of  necklace parts and felt.

Steampunk--for anyone who never heard of it-- is basically Steam Era style clothing with a twist--it includes high tech gadgets made from components available in the steam era. Think of H.G. Well's The Time Machine--that about sums it up. Anyway the only thing that takes my outfit from Victorian to Steampunk is the goggles, because one might ask-- "Why is this Victorian girl wearing aviator goggles?" and "What is and Airplane?"

Might try this skirt again in a floral .

Simona wears it well.
