Sue's Tiny Costumes

Well I've gotten my dollfie... I adore her! I also decided to join in on Dana of Miniature Art 's online class for Madeline through Mini Doll U later in August. It has also been determined that my Pattern Drafting for Ladies 101 class is not going to be repeated for the rest of the year. This is due to this fall and early winter where I'll be very busy moving and with holiday work and have decided that I can only handle so much solo. However the 102 Stylizations Class will be going on in late Sept ! The larger doll classes are ongoing and 102 Stylizations for Larger Dolls will start also in late Sept or early Oct! I'll have another class for a lady dwarf that is in the planning stages and looks like it will be going on sometime in October! I'm hoping to hear back on the purchase of a Ginny soon and look forward to hopefully adding her to my collection. I also have a friend on another list who is looking to make space in her house and has some do...

Well I have many new ideas and a couple new dolls I'm currently going to be playing with. I bought Tika a Flava who has an unsual body. I knew humans had fit problems but this doll definitely has them. She bends and moves just under the bust making her great for poses that are different from standard Barbies but she also has an "S" curve torso that gives her a long side and a short side along with a high hip and a low hip that are drastically different. Bearing that in mind I plan to use her as a guinea pig in my Pattern Drafting for Lady Dolls 101 class shortly when I start the lessons over in a couple weeks. As for styles for this doll I'm thinking a lot of asymetrical items might be what she needs or some nice tummy show off items ... crop tops and hip huggers.... perhaps a hip hugging skirt that flares at the bottom about knee length out of a mock denim (theres a fat quarter blue that looks a lot like denim that'd be perfect!) I'm also thinking a crop top...
