How to make a backpack for BJD or other dolls

Easy fun project. Suitable for beginners.

No sewing machine is required. Hand stitches would look more realistic.

Handmade Russian national dress/costume for MSD Ya ResinSoul doll plus kokoshnik

Phew!

After 7 evenings of sewing and crafting here is a Russian national costume for my resinsoul 1/4 doll. The headpiece (kokoshnik) took about 4 evening to complete, the underdress is made from the jersey fabric (old t-shirt) and the sarafan (the top dress) is made from the linen (wedding towel).

Obitsu doll Nurse vintage style uniform

I cannot vouch that my creation is 100% historically accurate, but I have researched a number of WWII pictures and came up with this uniform. Due to the scale (my obitsu is 25 cm tall) I have struggled with finishing off some tiny seams and end up sewing a few parts by hand. Her under-dress was made from an old t-shirt. The apron and nurse's cap seem easy to make, but believe me I have struggled with them the most. I did not have any patterns and created the outfit from scratch. It took me about 7 evenings and a few swearing words to complete the outfit.

Please forgive her make up - her face up was intended for another character.
