Levend Lichtje

I'm not sure if you're interested in my non-work stuff too—but I am! So I'm sharing it anyway. This is one of my little Sylvanian Families figures in a handmade swamp witch outfit. I'm working on a big, tree-trunk-shaped dollhouse for these figures whenever I find the time. Which is almost never, so progress is slow. But I never shy away from big, ambitious plans! I think I might have more plans than actual finished projects..

@LevendLichtje Oh, it's a lovely outfit!
Show threadLevend LichtjeMar 4
@suearcher Thanks! It was a little short at first, so I added a second skirt. Nothing the embroidery couldn't cover, haha

@LevendLichtje This is great!
I never had sylvanian families as a kid. Something which I may have overcompensated for as an adult 😅

@fluffgar ha! I get that. I did have a few, but I'm still smitten with them. The clothes though, way too pink and frilly. So I make my own!

@LevendLichtje OMG!! The adorableness of this is just too much! What a brilliant idea!!!

(Small me loved calico critters, this is a perfect excuse to find a few and dress them up!)

@megsobrien I can send you a booklet of patterns I've collected, corrected and restored if you want!
Show threadMegs O’BrienMar 4

@LevendLichtje Really?! That would be amazing!!

I absolutely do not need another hobby, but this is irresistible. (It also makes my nerdy, whimsical heart happy that patterns for this exist!)

Show threadLevend LichtjeMar 4
@megsobrien they exist, but are usually all over the place and in a million of badly copied versions - so I made it my hobby to hunt for patterns, correct and restore them and combine them in my booklet. Sort of a treasure hunt! Here you go https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XLA7MyjP2HDoGOP3y7lE7JVGe2-1hjIg/view?usp=drivesdk

@LevendLichtje Thank you so much! This is incredible!! Now I just have to find a few critters and decide where to start. 🥰
Show threadLevend LichtjeMar 4
@megsobrien good luck! It's a nice little world :) I update the booklet quite regularly, so be sure to check the url once in a while for new patterns

@LevendLichtje Oh this is lovely! One of my daughters is into making clothing for Sylvanian Families dolls; I will show her!

@asakiyume id you like, I can send you/her the booklet with patterns I've been collecting. The internet is full of em, just badly documented or copies of copies of copies of vaguely photographed nice Japanese magazines. So I set out to collect, correct and restore everything I could find.
Show threadAsakiyumeMar 4
@LevendLichtje Oh thank you! She does more sewing than knitting/crocheting, but she would probably be interested all the same (she just responded with a CUUUTE to my text w/ link to your post)
Show threadLevend LichtjeMar 4
@asakiyume it's only sewing patterns! Mine is not (yet) in there but it might be in the future. Here you go! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XLA7MyjP2HDoGOP3y7lE7JVGe2-1hjIg/view?usp=drivesdk

@LevendLichtje oh my goodness if you made this outfit in human size ...

@moonrabbit I wish! It would take approximately one lifetime to complete

@LevendLichtje maybe then humans just need to get lil rabbit sized instead!
