#bjd patterns

Hi everyone!

Okay, time to announce my new project! :D

I remember the first time when I was contemplating to quit my corset shop, and thinking that it’s a bit of a shame I’ve spend so much time and effort into creating this method and pattern for making the corsets, and that if I quit, then that would be that, all that knowledge would just stay in my head until I’d eventually forget. I told myself that, if I did quit, I’d give my pattern, knowledge and resources to the BJD community.

Well, that idea stayed in my head, and combined with the joy that it gives me to teach hand embroidery I started on this new project: to create patterns and tutorials for hand embroidery and BJD sewing projects. All of them will be available for free, for now through Craftsy and later also through my own website.

And of course, the first one is the pattern and instructions for making your very own Minifee corset :D It’s available here, for free, in a 48 page PDF document: https://www.craftsy.com/sewing/patterns/sewing-your-own-minifee-bjd-corset/493372

This is just the beginning though! I’m going to release a new pattern/tutorial weekly, starting with needlepainting for beginners and more BJD garments, more type of corsets, etc…all of this will be for free, but since they cost a lot of time to make, I’ve started a new Patreon page to hopefully get some support for making more free patterns available!

More about the Patreon and how it works here: but the gist of it is, anything I make for the patterns(be it corsets, full handembroidered BJD outfits, needlepaintings..)will be given away for free to my Patreon supporters, and since there will be a weekly new pattern, there will also be a weekly giveaway. Patreons also get access to daily blog/WIP posts, weekly Q&A posts where I help you with your projects and giveaways for materials for your embroidery and doll sewing projects. So, if you want to support me making these tutorials and have a chance at lots of free goodies and creations, please check it out :D

So..that is the idea! I hope you like it and that you’ll support me in this as much as you’ve done in the past with my Etsy shop, and if you’re off to make your own corset..good luck, and let me know if I can help! :D

Love, Raouken
