I made a sock sweater for my MYou Bettina Male (28cm tall), from a pair of socks I purchased with the intention of making a sock sweater for my Limhwa Limho Mano (67cm in height). I then lost the socks, and I wasn't able to find them for a long time (think years!), then I lost interest in sewing or doing anything for my BJD, mostly because most of them are huge. Then I hoarded toys like a crazy nut job and finally got back into customizing toys after getting back into 1:6 scaled action figures a few years ago. Which, then led me to wanting to get a smaller BJD, and I got my Bettina in 2022, when MYou released their 28cm mature tines.
Not too long ago, I stumbled across these socks I got to make a sweater for my Mano, all those years ago. I purchase them from K-Mart before that one closed in the tiny touristy town I live in. I am super happy I found them, finally. I am not sure if they would have made a decent sweater for my Mano, because he's huge compared to this tinier dude, but I am glad I made a sweater with them in the end. They kept getting snagged on everything because they are like stockings, more than socks. Which was a pain to sew, but I suck at sewing so, I guess there's that. I also made a new pair of pants for him, but they are too big! I re-sized the pattern twice (it's meant for a much larger doll), but it is still too big. I will try again, hopefully with black matte fabric next time. Although, these were a pain and still managed to not turn good at all! DX
The last four photos were taken with my other cellphone. IT does weird things and never focuses, but I feel the colors are closer to real life. I also made a sixth wig for him. I feel it could be better, but at least is less bulky than the previous ones, I feel like.
