Patchwork Princess

Been working for the doll show in Tokyo

where I'll be sharing a booth with Ruth (Eurotrash) and Romina ( I have Wings) and thanks to the lovely Lhohy Chan who will be our "host".

Six handmade "Patchwork Princess" sets will be available.

They all include a mohair dress, either with bell or puff sleeves, a felt & pearl flower hairpin, knitted scarf and hat & a patchwork bag.

Stella volunteered to model the whole collection and a couple of friends gave me a hand with the bags display.

Dresses close at the back with 2 snaps.

Real patchwork bags are lined, straps are adjustable and they fasten with a snap.

They are adorned with a wooden pearl and glass bell flower beads.

All sets are boxed.

Working on them was challenging as the time schedule was tight but it's also been a lot of fun.

Mathilda, my anniversary girl

Time to introduce Mathilda and my little contribution to the Blythe 8th anniversary charity exhibition. This year theme is "Fashion Obsession".

I picked the 70's as the main influence for my set.
Keywords : 70's, bohemian, autumn :-)

As a kid, Mathilda loved to spend her time in her grandmum's attic, her little wonderland. The wardrobes and trunks were full of old time treasures: bags, dresses, coats, hats, purses, jewels and shoes from previous decades. All forgotten. They all seemed to be asleep, only waiting to be awaken. For Mathilda, there was something magical about them: they had a soul, a story to tell.
Later on, as a grown-up, Mathilda's love for retro clothing had turned into a real passion, which led her to go to garage sales, second hand shops and flea markets, always searching for that special piece of clothing awaiting to be brought to life once again.



(Real patchwork shoulder bag, vintage custom boots with added lace.
Embroidered felt coat with faux fur.Vintage "buttons". Half belt at the back.)



Mathilda's outfit takes us back to our favorite decades music and fashion wise and revisits the bohemian look which has been a recurring fashion theme throughout the last century and beyond.
Her dress, inspired from the 20's, pairs with a skinny fit embroidered coat which screams 70's. Some lace up boots and a patchwork shoulder bag complete her retro look.
I was absolutely thrilled to work on this project.

Introducing Daisy

Daisy was my very first Kenner, but the last one to be restored.
She suffered from a broken knee and her remaining hair was damaged beyond repaired.
She has been waiting patiently for a well-deserved first photo session.

Coco Moon chez Stellinna !

"Coco Moon is traveling the world as a famous fashion stylist, looking for the hottest trends and fashions from around the Blythe world".
More info and pictures of Coco Moon around the world:
Blythe Worldwide Tour 2008 / 2009: Fashion Obsessed !

She stayed in Lyon for a week and I was overjoyed to welcome her !
She's such a special girl.

The wardrobe I made especially for her included a lilac mohair dress and top, a dotted tunic dress, chartreuse green knitted hat and scarf with a matching felt flower, a patchwork bag and some denim items...
I took her to the Parc de la Tête d'Or (famous for its rose and botanical gardens) where we had a few photo sessions, and around Lyon.

She enjoyed talking about clothes with the other girls, and was spoiled with petits fours, éclairs and other French patisseries.

Time flies, and before we had a chance to realise that a week had gone by, it was already time to leave and say goodbye... She will be greatly missed !

Beautiful Autumn...

Give me moss, ivy, fern, mushrooms..
the smell of earth and dead leaves, a few birds singing and I'm happy for a million years !

Last days in the countryside with Stellie and Melody, before coming back to town...
The girls model prototype smocks and mohair dresses I've been working on lately.

We love Halloween !

Time to celebrate Halloween, our favourite holiday...
This year Stellie decided to be my *pumpkin queen* for that special and magic day.

I've had the best of time taking her pics in the garden.





Happy and Magic Halloween to you all !

Fairy Dust ...

New collection for little girls, Yellow Lati dolls...
Actually these sets were ready a while ago but I didn't get the chance to take pics.
Lutine sneaked in the dressing room today to try one set on.












6 sets are available: Lily, Bluebell, Sweet Pea, Rose, Daisy and Violet.
Each set includes a lined dress with contrasting tulle, a pixie hat and a pair of leggings.
All sets are different, limited edition.. because that's all I could make with the tiny piece of fabric I had.
