It is not like I wouldn’t work on doll at the moment. I still love them, I just had a little less time these past months. Life is going weird sometimes, isn’t it? So here you see my latest reroot and face-up on Willow, formerly a FruPu. Hope you like her.

Willow is rerooted with vanilla platinum mohair of my fave hair supplier mohairhouse. For more info about mohair care, please have a look at the Mohair care page.

Willow also had a complete face-up including sandmatting, sleepeyes, new blush, lips and airbrush eye make-up.

Last year in Portland I wore a sailor-inspired white linen dress for BlytheCon 2011. I lost quite a bit of weight since June 2011 what made me happy but sorry for a lot of my fave clothes including the white dress. A dress recontruction wasn’t possible so I saved the skirt-part of the dress and refashioned it to a sailor-inspired skirt.

I wore it on May 1st intending to take part in Zoe’s from So, Zo…’s Me-Made-May-Challenge but then completely forgot to post my pledge *AIRHEAD*. I am new to her community and hope it is okay to hand it in today

I, Jasz from *jaszmade, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May ’12. I endeavour to wear a self-made outfit-piece or at least something I made like a pin, a bag, a [whatever thingie] each day for the duration of May 2012.

I am doing this because I really need a realistic idea about my upcoming wardrobe. I made a lot of awesome dresses this year but when it comes to wearing them I miss out because most of them are just a tad too overstyled for daily needs. I hope to find out what my wardrobe is really missing for future sewing decisions. I think I am going to refashion some more dresses and shirts because they are easier to choose out of the pile. Maybe I am just a seperate type of girl… we will see.

May 1st: refashioned dress to skirt and my beloved Daisy Pin

May 2nd: favourite knit-felted bag

Today, May 3rd, it is the 2nd tie dress I made (click here for the first tie dress). Even if the fabric choice is better this time – light weight 100% new wool – I better choose a more flattering pattern next time. Weight loss or not, squares are for Twigs not trunks.

As a dolly seamstress I am known for my tie dresses like the Twiggy Dress but I never thought about making a human sized one until I found this pattern in a 1967s BURDA Moden issue.

I just loved the simple form of it, added a short sleeve but passed on the bar over the bussom area.

My fabric choice was a light red pinstriped 95% new wool fabric with 5% spandex. I really love the colour of it, it is best described comparing it to the colour of lobster or shrimp.

Unfortunately the 5% spandex was enough to spoil the fun. The dress is crinkling when looking at it, a true horror to iron and I just cannot get the darts flat. It’s a pity. I am going to make another one of these using 100% new wool fabric.

But well, I like it anyway. It has a tie!

And yes, I need tanning ;D

Cheers,
Jasz

Just wanted to show off some results from *jaszmade’s Kenner spa. The wonderful redhead ist Melian for Hej, the adorable blondie Ellie of Hej. Both visited Jasz’s Beauty Parlour for some touch ups like de-yellowing, fixing plugs, restoring blush and lips as well as major hair restorings.

If your Kenner needs some touch up, you are welcome to make your Beauty Parlour appointment now. I am going to accept new patients for restoration (no reroots these days, sorry), from April 1st 2012.

Please note: I only answer to decent requests with full your full names and wishes given. Mails like: When do you fix my Kenner, lmk; will be ignored. Thanks!
