Entry #26

Pro

My blog is lifeofdoll.weebly.com, and my website linnyrose.com

It didn’t take long for me to decide who I wanted to make a “meet” outfit for; Lindsey Stirling. She’s my second favorite artist, behind The Piano Guys. She has awesome style, and since I don’t have any guy dolls, I couldn’t make an outfit for one of The Piano Guys. Once I decided, I had to figure out which ONE of her outfits I wanted to make.

Lindsey Stirling has so many fun and unique outfits that would be awesome to make doll-sized. But I ultimately decided on mixing up some of my favorite pieces from her outfits, and combining them to make an outfit that really represents her.

I decided to make a red striped ¾ sleeve knit shirt, since she wears red in a lot of her outfits, a grey flowy knit skirt with lots of fabric for dancing, red legwarmers (knit again) to keep her legs warm while she’s practicing, and a silver jacket in case it gets chilly. I didn’t color in the picture, because I had to check my fabric stash before I ultimately decided what fabric and colors to use. I also wasn’t able to make the necklace I drew in my sketch.

I upcycled one of my old favorite red striped shirts for the top.

Laying out the pattern pieces.

Attaching the sleeves.

I also upcycled a knit skirt for the skirt. There was a lot of fabric!

This skirt will be all nice and full.

Beckie tried it on, and loved it!

Heh, I didn’t get too many in-progress pictures, because I got too caught up in sewing that I forgot to quite often. :P

Finished Outfit:

And of course, every hip-hop violinist needs a violin.

Her “purse” is her violin case, to keep it safe when she travels around.

She also has a couple bracelets, one is made from a hair tie, and the other is a scrap of fabric.

I think this outfit really captures her personality and style.

I made the jacket from an old shirt. I love the tiny buttons I found.

I found a sparkly sweater to make the legwarmers out of.
