The favorite sweater in Iceland

Hi guys,

I’m in Iceland, where it’s quite chilly at the moment. I noticed everyone around here wearing a typical knit sweater. These sweaters are mostly handmade by family members, who gift them to their loved ones. People in Iceland never buy them themselves, they only get them as a present. Legend says that there are still sweaters worn that are in the family for ages!

I looked through my closet and I found a design that made me think of these sweaters, my Kathy Pink Outfit. And I also love the Kathy Tiger pants, that resembles the pattern of the Icelandic sweaters.

Do you have a favorite sweater?

Let me know!

See you!

A skirt isn't only for girls!

Hi guys,

I’m at the Scottish Highlands to take a hike in the beautiful mountains. Scotland is one of the only countries where men wear skirts. So I was very curious for the kilts that they wear. I love a good traditional piece of clothing, that’s why I made my own version of it. It’s super easy! You only need one piece of fabric and there’s no sewing needed!

The fabric of our fabric sets has the exact right size for the kilt I made. But of course you can use any piece of fabric you want. Your fabric should be about 22 x 30 cm. I used fabric set PN-0164685 Classic for the traditional print.

Are you going to make this skirt? If you do, don’t forget to show me the result!

Have a good day!

Love,

Dollie

London calling

I missed London Fashion week last month, because I was in Paris for Valentine and after that, I left for Milan Fashion week. But even when it isn’t fashion week, London is an inspiring city. I’m quite busy designing my next new DressYourDoll Collection. So it’s lovely to get some inspiration in a bustling city.

 Are you curious for my new collection? Here are some sneak peeks…

Love,

Take a walk on the wild side

I’m always in for a sweet walk. The Black woods in Germany are a beautiful place to go for a walk. I needed some peace and quiet after a busy weekend. My friend Barbie turned 60 years old on Saturday so we threw her a surprise-party. You can find a little aftermovie of the party on my YouTubechannel:

We had lots of fun!

See you soon,

A Roman Holiday

Ciao a tutti!

I’m in Rome this week! The one thing on my bucketlist for Rome was to drive a Vespa through this beautiful city. I’m on my way to rent one right now.

Did you know it’s almost Barbie’s birthday? To celebrate, we’re throwing her a party! I already made som flags to brighten up the festivities. I simply used a couple of fabrics from my fabric sets (Violet - PN-0164684 and Pastel - PN-0164686).

To make your own flags, check out the tutorial on YouTube:

Bye!
