Updated: Pattern for MDD sock

New and improved! Mini Dollfie Dream sock pattern, now better than before. It includes a small allowance which is sufficient for most stretchy fabrics, test your materials and add more if needed. I also noted lengths for a thigh-high and over-knee style sock, assuming you have about 1cm hem at the top.

Holiday Melty

It’s not the same Christmas Melty that Volks just released, I gave my (original) Melty a cute Christmas look ^_^ Dress and accessories are made by me, the blouse is Volks lolita blouse. I always snatch up their basic blouses, for the price it’s worth not having to sew them! And any lace and trims…

Yuki maid

Finished my first project from the pattern book! After a few trial runs I finished the ‘One-piece miniskirt’ ‘Short apron’ ‘Small cuffs’ ‘Short petticoat’ and ‘Frill headband’. The socks are borrowed from the swallowtail maid set, though the book’s pattern is pretty similar to my own sock pattern. The dress is fully lined so I…

Dollfie Dream maid sewing patterns book – translation notes

I picked up the recently released Dollfie Dream maid sewing book, which has patterns and instructions for several cute maid-themed outfits, with contributions from popular doll studio Ronronshuka and others. You can still find it on Amazon.co.jp under the title ドールソーイングBOOK はじめてのメイド服-Dollfie Dream- [単行本(ソフトカバー)]. Although the instructions are geared toward beginners, the difficulty is that…
