Thanks! I found it in the dollhouse section of the hobby store

Ah see!!! 1/12 has the most stuff *wehhhhhh* for my 1/3 I'll have to make everything myself or pay the ultimate price. It's really big if I wanted a bike for my BJD. I've seen a motorbike on a picture ones with a racing BJD. That was awesome but it has to be huge lol

Yep, I definitely have fewer props for my 1/3 doll. It's partially because I just got her but, I try be creative when searching and to not have the things I find for her look cheap.
If you have an mini dolls(MDD,MSD), I know that American girl bikes work for them. Here's a thread where you can see some pictures~ www.dollfiedreams.com/viewtopi… . Looks like someone found a 1/3 scale one too! 0_0

Awwww that is So cute! I'm going for a little hunt but I need to make a special platform up the wall to show them off. My room is too little to have some 'dollspace/house' on the floor

Yep, space is always an issue.
My dolls spend most of their time by the sewing machine, so they never end up being displayed

I want to learn how to sew my own clothes but I've only recently learned to sew one big item, managed to finished it but the machine was cheap and it wasn't always pretty those two damn wires getting twisted on the back of the fabric making a huge annoying knot.
Hopefull I've got some money in January or February to buy Pfaff Smarter for 300 euro. HOpefully its a good enough machine for small stitches and slow sewing

I started sewing around a year and a half ago, and am surprised by how much one can improve in that time!
Do you mean the thread was bunching up on the under side of the fabric? Like it looked normal on one side and was a mess on the other? That may mean the machine was not threaded correctly. The thread coming from the top needs to be tight, or it won't sew properly. My machine is not cheap(or super fancy haha), and it's done that before when I didn't thread it right

Sounds cool!! But I'm doing so many things and wanting too much. That's why my entire life I can do many things but I'm not good enough towards those who specialize in one thing. Lately I'm just letting myself float, seems to work at least things get done but I'm doing 2 or 10 things randomly after another sometimes. Then I'm folding a few pieces of washed clothes, putting away a few pieces from the dishwasher, meanwhile preparing to paint something and answering stuff in DA 
It's not only that sewing normal clothes can be confusing but how do I close up some stuff like when I want to make pillows and sew it closed. Tiny clothes for my 1/3, it can be done. I just need more time and money at the moment. I've postponed it to next year which is fine by me because I ordered all the stuff to do with polymer clay because I love those cakes, candy, food etc they make with it. Only that damn varnish, before I forget ugh lol... ranting
I've browsed Youtube an hour ago and saw some examples with paper mache and a dress. So cute!!

Haha I know what you mean! When you're into artistic things, there are so many different branches to explore. My hobbies are figure/doll collecting, photography, and sewing. The first is what I spend most money on, but they're all pricy hobbies which makes it difficult to branch out. Other things I'd like to pick up are sculpting, crafting, and diorama building, but I haven't been able to get in to those as much.
I don't have any in progress sewing shots, but I'll look through my regular photos to see if I can find examples of what I'm talking about...
To close up things, you of course don't want to leaves the edges raw, so for something like a pillow, the simplest way to close the edge is to fold the fabric under and sew across. I made the pillow in this picture www.flickr.com/photos/yami_usa…
See the edge on the right? There I folded the edge and sewed across. Like I said, this is the simplest ways to close a pillow, but it's not the prettiest. The better way is to use a ladder stitch which is something you do by hand. It makes the closing seam invisible! To learn that, I recommend looking for a video on youtube. In fact, that's a good idea for anything sewing related. My mom taught me the basics, but I look up advanced things there.
I love polymer food and stuff like that! I have one block of white polymer clay, but haven't opened it because I'm not sure yet how I want to use it

Oh buy some acrylic paint from AliE and get going... it's sooo cute lol, how can you not want to spoil your little baby doll with stuffffzzz hahah
Yes, the couches I've seen are so neatly done. I kind of knew that it would be by hand, or I could try to put the ugly part in the back for a beginners version. My hand sowing is so n00b, I've done a few things to try but I'm already glad the thread isn't falling out of my needle. I once designed and made an apron for Chihiro but I bought very thick cotton because I thought it was the way to go, boyyyy... big mistake. It doesn't fall very well or not at all and the sewing of layers of that stuff is quite hard, even for a machine sometimes. I think it's good for table cloth! grrrrr

I have some acrylics already actually! Maybe I'll make a ring of some pendants. The white polymer will be like little pearls!
Hehe not spoiling dolls is hard 
Hand sewing isn't my forte either. Not that I've mastered the machine.
Thick cotton is rarely the way to go XD. I ended up buying some white fabric that turned out to be for upholstery. I just use it for pants >_>
If your machine is having trouble, you'll need a needle made for durable fabrics. I'm not sure if you even want to keep using that fabric, but you'd be amazed by what a change of needle can do! I once had trouble sewing through two layers of fleece, but when I switched, it was like sewing through regular cotton!

It's a cheap Lervia. It sews okay when you go for middle and high speed but the pedal and machine hardly react on minimum speeds, so I need to help the machine turn up to speed by hand and means I can't have both hands on my work and its annoying. I don't know if I'll manage to buy a machine. At one hand it would be nice to have auto insertion of the thread etc and I'm still not entirely sure how that underthread is with some luxury machines like brother you can see it through a glass panel. So must be at least easier to put in and I think some use the underthread different like automated I dunno... The sewing stores are so far from here.
