Today’s Printable Paper Doll Inspirations: Everyday Fashions of the Twenties: As Pictured in Sears and Other Catalogs, Bobble Hats
This is the first of a bunch of 1920s clothing I have drawn for the Poppets, so I hope everyone loves this era as much as I do. I originally drew the outfits last year when I was still doing sets and then I kinda forgot about them for a few months and rediscovered them while I was cleaning up my files at the end of the year.
I always do an annual file clean up and I often discover things I kinda forgot about or abandoned because they weren’t something I really liked. Boots wrote a really brave post on her blog, Pop Culture Looking Land, about failed projects. I wrote a follow-up over on my Patreon page for my Patrons.
Moral of the story: Sometimes, I abandon stuff and then find it again and go, “Actually, that’s not so bad.”
And this one of those things. I don’t even remember what I didn’t like about it. I think it was the ice skates.
Still now I look at them and I am like, “They’re okay. What was my problem?”
The human mind is a funny thing.
Can I make a confession? I have no idea how to ice skate. I think I have been on ice skates exactly three times and every time I ended up on my butt. It was not much fun. Still, I like watching other people ice skate, so that should be worth something.
Love the blog? Think about supporting it on Patreon (my sister just did and surely she has good taste) and I always love to hear what you think in the comments.

i love this! and the skates are great! i think sometimes we just get in a mood. i need to dig up my favorite paper doll quote and post it again to share.
p.s. for all my love of winter and snow and all that, i can’t skate either ~ hahaha
The skates are cute. I like the overall fuzzy feeling of the hat & jacket. And the fact that the base is an icy blue is just perfect.
I CAN ice skate!! Or, I could, anyway. I’ll be taking the boys for their first foray into skating soon. We’ll see if I remember how!
’20s isn’t my favorite decade, but this is really cute. I grew up in a very small town(pop. 400) and there was a roller skating rink, which was pretty much the only organized activity for kids, so I grew up on roller skates, but somehow never got the hang of ice skates. It just feels so different. 🙂
