In the mood for fiddly things - making dollhouse clothes

Sometimes I feel like working structurally - but right now it was a week of 'glasses on', tiny scissors, material scouting and doing something I didn't know I could - making tiny clothes!

First I got stuck on a trolley for under the desk. I had these great pill boxes from muji muji and all it needed was a bit of styrene and 4 castor wheels. Well... and a bit of patience.



Then I got into the clothes mood. Clearly one cannot have an empty wardrobe ;-)
Here what I came up with: coat, leather jacket, shirt, jumpers and t-shirts, jeans, shorts.


hand stiched

Used a tuto I found on the internet

hand stitched



The jeans and shorts are photographed and then printed on fabric

Two hoodies drying...
I ran out of stiff and stuff and made my own with diluted white glue. It works just great! So, no more buying stiff and stuff...

The only thing missing is a pair of trousers on a trouser hanger - not sure yet how to make the hanger .. but I will figure out something.

And I posted the empty salad bowl to  Orsolya Skulteti in Hungary so that she can fill it with her wonderful creations!

This is all soooo exciting :-)

Doing a bit of interior stuff: entrance and bedroom

Seeing the decorating concept coming together is fun and so rewarding! And I am so pleased to finally find a coat that looks perfect hanging, without the usual stiffness to it :-) It was made by Bette Jo Chudy of Shadow Box miniatures - a bit of find because there is not much of her work in the internet. My supplier was Kirsten Faust. 


The only issue in the bedroom was whether to have more storage space above the bed. But then - this house is so tiny that every possibility has to be used!
Storage even under the bed ;-)

Cupboard fronts and shelving all done with foamed PVC 1mm

Taking photos in these small spaces is another issue - very few I can take horizontally.
But I don't think that this matters much...
