When I just started collecting Ellowyne I bought a couple of nude dolls, and of course they needed to get dressed.
So I searched the internet to see if I could find some free patterns for Ellowyne, and oh yes! I found quite a few links.
As I know there might be more people interested in getting some free patterns, I thought I'd just as well share the links here in my blog.
I already started with some links when I had some outfits finished, but it might take me forever to make them all, so I thought it would be handy to put all the links I've found so far in one blogpost.

Ellowyne and her wigs
My first wigged Ellowyne doll was the Essential Redhead 5, which I really love, but I would have loved to buy the brunette, only she was already sold out at WI at the time that I bought my redhead.
So I decided to see if I could find anything on ebay, and then the EE5 brunette wig showed up, and I thought that one would be just as nice on my EE5 red.
Well, as you can see she's really super pretty.
Just before I went on holiday, I bought my second wigged Ellowyne, Feeling Drained too, only with her short black wig. She would arrived during my holiday, so had to collect her after my holidays.
Whilst I was on holiday I found a couple more wigs on ebay, and managed to buy them too:
A little later I bought another pretty black wig off ebay, as I secretly would like to have 'Plaid to meet you', but after buying so many other gorgeous beauties, she will have to remain on my wishlist a little longer.

More Ellowyne's
Just before my summerholidays, another girl arrived; Alone on Sunday.
I love the outfit, and I think I like the doll too, but she may need to have an eye operation too........
During my 2 weeks holidays in the UK, tons of dolls and doll stuff arrived, so it was just like a birthday or St. Nicolaas for me when I arrived back home and had so many parcels to open up!
Although I'm not much into the painted eyes dolls, I really love the first Ellowyne's with their painted eyes, which are so much more detailed than the later ones

Sewing for Ellowyne
As I mentioned before, I had been looking up links for free patterns for Ellowyne.
The first dress I've been sewing for her is this one:
You can find it back here: http://dolloutfits.com/patterns/robesoleilello/index.html
Another dress from a free pattern is here:
This picture is my contest entry, and here is the poem:
On a cold winternight my wish was fulfilled~
I heard the foretelling of the Dragon Reborn~
But scared was I, not thrilled~
For almost twenty years I´ve searched the world~
And now I´ve found him in a place forlorn~
And the three Ta´veren threads twirled~
Through the pattern of the Wheel of Time~
To weave a web of Destiny~
Yes, I still need to hem the dress, but it wasn't really necessary for the contest picture. :D

I am donating this dress set as a prize for a contest at a Yahoo Ellowyne group.
Speaking of the contest, I really wanted to join in, as the theme is : It's only make believe.
**Show one of your WI girls as your favorite movie, TV, novel or fairytale
character. Please include a 2-6 line poem telling us about your photo when
adding your entry to the contest album I will set up on September 5th. You can
include any other WI doll in your scene if necessary, but the main focus should
be on any girl from the Ellowyne line.
Being a huge Wheel of Time fan (yes, it's the fantasy novel series by Robert Jordan and finished by Brandon Sanderson) I immediately knew I wanted to make the Lade Moiraine Damodred, Aes Sedai of the blue ajah.
So I bought some patterns from http://www.dollpatternbazaar.com/ , which I thought would be great for this theme. The seller was very helpful and included an extra pattern for the hat of the cloak, as the one for the female cloak would be too small for Ellowyne.
Since I had trouble finding sky blue velvet for the cloak, I only managed to finish the dress in time for the contest, but of course I had to make the cloak too

Multiple Tears
As you may have seen in one of my previous blogposts, Ellowyne Serious Intention has the most beautiful eyecolour.
I found a super pretty outfit on ebay for her, which is called Multiple Tears.
When I tried to put on the outfit, one of the zippers of the boots got broken, oh no!!!!!!!!
I contacted Wilde Imagination and the doll hospital, and they do have great service. They only had extra's of the last 2 years, but I was allowed to look for a pair of replacement boots, which they have send to me.
I still need to take pictures with the replacement boots, but for now I do have some gorgous piccies with another pair of shoes.
The sofa is a salesman sample which I bought off ebay too. The seller included the cushions and teaset with it.

Baroque & Dreams
The next pretty Ellowyne that I couldn't resist turned up on ebay and was a real bargain; Baroque & Dreams.
I love her hairstyle and her outfit. I also love the eyecolour and her makeup.
The only thing was, the painted eyes just didn't look "real" enough for me. But I had joined an Ellowyne group on facebook and found someone in the UK who is able to install glass eyes in vinyl dolls, Debbie Barnes. She does this very professionally through the neckhole, so the unique hair nor the doll don't get ruined.
Ellowyne Wilde
It's been ages ago since I've last been blogging.
This doesn't mean I haven't been playing dollies. On the contrary!
I'm completely smitten with Ellowyne Wilde (from Wilde Imagination by Robert Tonner)
Before I went to the Pippa conventention in Milton Keynes, I already purchased my first Ellowyne friend, Amber Disquietude. She was sold undressed on ebay, but it took forever for her to arrive.
Meanwhile, when I got back home again after the Pippa Convention, I went on evilbay again, and bought 2 more dolls, Ellowyne Tears of Endearment and Ellowyne Serious Intention.
Both didn't have an outfit either, so of course that had to be remedied.
The first girls to arrive were Tears of Endearment and Serious Intention.
My friend Elaine had been sewing a dress for me (that is for Ellowyne, haha!) and I had bought some outfits off ebay to start with.
But, of course I had to try and make outfits myself too, so I searched the web for free patterns, and I bought quite a few patterns too..... (I guess I went Wilde!)
Not long after the arrival of my first 2 girls there was a sale at Wilde Imagination (WI from now on) and I just couldn't resist buying Essential Ellowyne 5 redhead. She arrived pretty soon, and I am so over the moon with her!
Finally Amber arrived too, so it was time for a photosession.
