I was browsing around for some quality reading (AKA dolls reading) and I found the digital version of “Fashion/ Forward“, a mini magazine (a supplement to Dolls Reader) dedicated to fashion for dolls. I love that the outfits and accessories are presented and described as in real fashion magazines.

Brenda Cox is one the designers reviewed in this issue, look at her beautiful creations for our favorite doll: Barbie! and start to dream

Don’t miss though the preview of Gene paper dolls and the review of the a steampunk bride dress and pattern for Ellowyne: you can download the instructions and patterns itself here.

The only disappointment is that you cannot download the mag as PDF file but..oh well…we’ll survive.

If after this dolls and fashion galore you are still lusting for more check out the Dolls magazine. From the home page you can download (as PDF!!!) the digital preview of their December issue. They are just few pages but really nice I’m totally in love now with Goodreau Upside Down Oz collection!

Finally a lazy Sunday after a couple of busy weeks. And on a lazy  Sunday what else to do than surfing ? Here are few freebies I found on the net: from the Dolls Magazine site you can download for free the march/april issue of the magazine. All featured dolls on this issue are a sneak peek at what is new for 2009. If you go to the archive section you can also download february and the special holiday issue, great stuff!

Another special thing I found is this awesome virtual paper-doll of Samantha, from the “Bewitched” TV serie. You can print it out and have a traditional pd. I love the outfits, so sassy and with this sixties feeling! Here you can get a sweet Tabatha paper-doll complete with clothes.

And then some amigurumi patterns These ones you most probably saw already, since they have been online for a while: amigurumi patterns for Lord of  the Rings characters. But they are so good that I cannot skip them

And a free amigurumi pattern of Bender found via Cuteable blog.

So…have a nice lazy dolly Sunday
