This Month’s Sewing Motto: Mistakes Are The Path Towards Success
Dolly Sewing Crush: Salon de Monbon Project #2
This week we’re taking a look at a precious One Piece Dress from Doll’s Closet Seasons on page 108.
In 74 steps your doll will have a dress that will make them twirl with delight.
Like the previous project, Salon de Monbon guides you through the entire process.
Pinning, ironing and clipping notches are included in the steps.
The directions for the One Piece Dress are written in Japanese and include images so you can visually see the step by step instructions.

**Clever Tip on making tiny bows
We watched this great YouTube video showing how to make tiny bows using a fork.
How awesome is that!
Dolly Insider Skill Level Rating:
Intermediate Friendly: It’s a cute One Piece Dress but the instructions are too long for a beginner.

This is so cute and pretty! And I love that shade of orange, so cheerful! Momoko looks super hip in it!
This pattern seems like something you can change a little to make it look cute and frilly or clean and elegant, or anything you want, I like it versatile patterns like that.
Funny thing, I was just watching a tutorial about using a fork to make bows (I’m currently attempting RequiemArt’s Rococo & Hime Lolita pattern for Monster High dolls)!
Lol that’s funny, we’re on the same dolly bow wavelength.
Oh cool, I would love to see your dress when it’s done! 🙂
How cute!! Love how the style is both simple + elegant. Momoko looks great!
Also, I appreciate how you include links to great resources like the tutorial for making tiny bows. It makes these projects so much more accessible and teaches us cool new tricks. Thank you!
