So... this happened.
We wanted to try the ribbon thing. But we forgot the whole... burn ribbon to seal it thing? I think that is a thing. So....In the end this project was tragic.
I do have a part 2. And this did give me some awesome experience! Even figured out how to tie off good.
It just doesn't look good... like I wanted it to. I know where I could go from here, but, I'm still figuring it out.
Fire... ???!!! But also, ribbon is so pretty!
Anyway, pictures! ;
Results...
It wasn't perfect. I didn't know how to end it until I was doing the panties. I did the bra first. Learning how the ribbons had to be moved and placed to have the right position was great. And it helped me get over my fears of going too small.
But, the ribbon ended up flaring out at the ends. Buts started coming off at the panties. I understand the shaping and the curves better now. And I know what makes a bra feel supportive! This'll be super helpful for whatever project comes next! 🤩
But, it also got very old, very fast. Informative, but I did want to throw it at a wall at many times. Stopping it now so I don't get to that. But I'm glad I did it! This endeavour was worth it.
Don't know where I'll go next? Maybe I'll make a moodboard, and look for more inspiration. I could do with learning some more sewing tips. Watching people make and draw custom dolls is inspiring, and I haven't even touched my sketch pad yet. I need to sort out our storage more...
Tbh there's lost to do... I'll write about what I'm doing soon! 😁

To complete past diy kimono dressing for Sylvanians Families/Calico Critters I shared before (see 1 / 2), here is a new step by step by @haluchobin to create cute easy to put on obi :
Tie a thin elastic into a loose loop around the tail
Slip both ends of a ribbon through the loop and sew into place
Tie another ribbon around the elastic covering the knot. Style it into a bow, you can try to mimic real musubi if you want
Put on the finished obi and enjoy!
