Nappy Choo discussion

@NineOneThree ,Yay! Congrats. I'll look forward to seeing pics. Picking the name is fun, I think. Although sometimes I find too many and it's hard to choose among them.

@spih , let's hope we get our dolls soon. This is the most difficult part of the wait, when they are at the mercy of carriers and customs officials. Yikes.

 

I’m still waiting on some accessories and I’ll probably make her a cuter blanket and a couple other simple props. I’m also thinking of adding upper lashes, I have some tiny ones. I am deciding on a name since the sculpt name doesn’t suit her but I had time for a pic this morning.

 

@NineOneThree , she's great, gorgeous photo! I got my doll today, love the chubby body.

@phanuel, I love the little chubby baby doll look too!

 

Awwww.... These babies are just too cute! I hope mine will be home soon! At least they are no longer in Munich and I paid taxes and custom fees yesterday, so they may arrive today or tomorrow (I hope).

 

My babies are finally here! Meet Nuppu (flower bud) and Nappi (button).

Though I have a large selection of spare eyes, I had some trouble finding something that fit. There is not much room inside their heads, so some eyes that looked good prevented the face plate from closing properly because the s-hook got into the way.

Now I must start making clothes for them. For now they just borrowed panties from my Lati Yellows.

 

@spih, just saw these two on flickr, love them.
There are some clothes available on Etsy made specifically for Nappy Choo, but they are mostly strictly baby clothes, like onesies. I would like to see more toddler clothing.
I'm going to see if any of my Lati Yellow/Secretdoll Mong pieces will work. I think the main problem may be getting sleeves and pants over those big feet and hands.
I look forward to seeing what you will make for yours.

 

I've found that some of my 1/8 or "Lati Yellow"-size clothing does fit. Shorts and sleeveless or short-sleeved shirts with arm and leg openings that aren't too narrow. Now Gunvald can look like a toddler as well as an infant.

Very nice! I must try if some of my Lati Yellow clothes fit my babies, too! I tried a cardigan, but it looked too big.

 

Yesss! Some Lati Yellow clothes fit! The dresses look too long, but I can easily make a shorter one using the same pattern. Lati hats are way too big, though, but I found that hats made for a vintage 6 inch Rosebud Thumbsucking Baby do fit. So Nappi and Nuppu have somthing to wear while waiting for me to have time to make something just for them.

I think the longer dress works, it looks like a baby gown and I love your little pink bonnet on nappy choo.

I found pacifiers that fit.

 

@NineOneThree , fits perfectly, nice photo! Love all the pink.

 

I made clothes for Nappi and Nuppu so that they do not need to borrow clothes from my Lati Yellows all the time.

@spih , perfect!

 

Thank you! I’m not usually a fan of all pink but I just could not resist

 

I'm trying to make some clothes for my little nappy hoo. Did you make the pattern yourself?

 

The boy's clothes are made from patterns in "The Miss Rosebud Twins and Friends" book with a little adaptation (and a lot thinner yarn). The girl's clothes are my own design. Both shoes are my own design.

 

I will have to look into that book. I need some cute things for my tiny boi.

 

Those clothes would be too big unless you use very thin yarn and tiny needles. And you would still need to adjust pants and sleeves to be shorter. I'm used to tweaking patterns here and there to make them fit, so I can use various patterns as a starting point and then tweak them to fit.

 

I crochet so it's a little different, but I expect that a tiny hook and lace weight thread will work for the babyChoo. I'm excited to start. definitely going to be a learning curve
