Watching The Hobbit with the kiddo and mapping out the hairline for my Dragon girl’s root. Might get her done before the end of the month if i’m lucky. :3

Love this method! Gonna have to give it a try myself. =D

Oh wow.. nonaptime likes this. I’m stunned. xD Thanks so much!I was putting down the pencil lines for her hair line and thought this might help me see it better PLUS if i leave the pins in overnight the holes will set and be more visible, as i left one in the top part and it’s a nice clean hole now. :D

This looks like a great method for rooting CAM heads! Thanks for the info~

How to make doll outfit 20 High Low Skirt

BY: yuniedhc

“*captions all the way (click ‘cc’ to see captions)*

The high low skirt is a huge this spring/summer, so I decide my dolls will need one.

From time to time I still say that this is no formal sewing, I’m self taught and this is my easy way to sew.

Soft fabric are quite hard to sew. If you are new to sewing you might want to try my former tutorials first.”

Anonymous: Hi, I was wondering if you knew of any sewing tutorials to make mori style clothes? Sorry if this has been asked before.

Hello Anon!

I wasn’t able to find much in the way of BJD Mori tutorials, but I did find this page.

http://alicegrimoire.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/morigirl-and-how-to-be-one-feature-by-nth-magazine/

This page included this scanned image of a Mori Style Tutorial.

If you can find the right layers you want to make, then I can help find tutorials for that particular item.
IE: A-Line dress, underskirts, shawls, boleros, purses, baskets, etc.

Here is a page that has a list of BJD shops that sell Mori Girl type items:

This tumblr page has a big list of Mori Girl tutorials too:

Here is a list of the Mori Girl Mixi List (basically everything you need to know about Mori girl stye? not sure, I’m pretty new to mori stuff)

This is a video tutorial for making a peter pan lace collar, but it could be made in BJD size:

BY: yuniedhc

“*Captions all the way*
Trying something new again.
I got my pullips wig in local doll shops, you can buy yours in many webshop on ebay or etsy.
Warning: again, the iron method may not work on on every wig and you might risk ruining the wig. Please do your research before attempting.”

This tutorial is for Pullips, but this method is pretty universal, and could be used for other wigs. ♥
