Wearables Sewing with a Cricut

I've been working on and off on a basic blouse pattern I can cut on the Cricut (because I hate the drafting, marking and cutting part of sewing). I used a pattern maker software to draft the human pattern and then resized it to my doll's measurements on Cricut Design Space. I also managed a little bit of dart manipulation in design space but boy it wasn't pleasant hahaha

I didn't use my nicer prints because the pattern seemed like a BIG "trust the process" piece (the armcye area looked skewed) but I was pleasantly surprised by the fit!


Since this was supposed to be a prototype, I didn't plan for embellishments. It seemed boring so I thought to add an apron and a milk maid bandana.



My lovely model is a Supia Doll Juah in the 60cm double jointed body with small bust.
I adjusted the measurements a bit so that my other SD (AoD Qian) will also fit (she has a slightly larger bust).


View from the back:


I think it took me 5-6 hours from start to finish?
I used 1 fat quarter of the printed cotton, a few meters of cotton lace, a few inches of white cotton for the apron and an iron on hemming tape for the green trim. All from my mother-in-law's untouched hoard of sewing supplies so yay for destashing but I do need to get some nicer lace to use as trims for my future projects!

 

Thank you! I specifically bought the Cricut Maker 3 because it can cut fabric.

 

@Samsally I definitely need to tweak the armscye more but laziness got the better of me, it's gonna be a task for another day!

@Thanato-Cat I'm using the Maker 3 with the rotary blade & fabric mat (pink). I watched design space basics on YouTube so I knew how to manipulate the shapes but I did pattern resizing and alteration by myself. Just figured things out as I went.

 

@Cubism I originally bought this for making cosplay costumes but I ended up going on hiatus so it sat unused for a year. Now I can finally justify the purchase hahaha
Cricut & some authorized retailers offer bundles and refurbished machines that should help a bit with the budget. If you're buying 2nd hand make sure you get the serial number and check with Cricut that it's not a decommissioned machine before purchasing!

And thank you for appreciating the small details
The scallop stitch made by the Classic Singer leaves a lot to be desired that it's making me itch to buy an embroidery machine haha

 

I uploaded a quick video discussing how I generate the patterns and cut them on Cricut:
