Nines d'Onil Little Mia

Nines d'Onil Little Mia

After purchasing a 12-inch Mia by Nines d'Onil in December 2024, I wanted a 9-inch Little Mia mate for the larger doll. Little Mia arrived recently wearing only her undergarment to which the Nines d'Onil brochure was attached.

Little Mia has a short brown Afro, brown inset eyes, and is vanilla-scented. Unfortunately, her vinyl body and limbs have a powdery or ashy cast.

Yellow scarf and felt

I used a vintage-style yellow scarf and a yellow sock to make Little Mia a dress as photo-illustrated next.

A cut yellow infant sock created a tube dress for Little Mia.

I folded the scarf diagonally and made a top fold to shorten the length.

The corners of the scarf were wrapped around Mia's body and met in the back.

Both loose corners of the scarf were brought from the back to the front of Little Mia's shoulders, wrapped around and under the upper arms (to create sleeves), and brought to the back to meet the opposite loose corner where both corner ends were tied. This photo illustrates wrapping one corner around Little Mia's left shoulder and arm.

This photo illustrates a side view of the scarf-wrapped shoulder and arm from the back to the front.

The other loose corner is wrapped over Mia's right shoulder before taking the loose end to the back.

Both corners have been wrapped from the front to the back of Little Mia's body.

The loose ends of both corners were tied in the back.

 Little Mia posed to illustrate the tied corners. The sock dress covers the parts of Little Mia's body that the scarf does not cover.

Little Mia's ears were pierced with yellow map pins which serve as stud earrings and a headband was created with a gold ribbon.

Little Mia posed once again to show off her new dress.

She smiles for the camera to indicate her pleasure.

I was going to make shoes for Little Mia with yellow felt and other materials, but I left her feet bare instead. 

Twelve-inch Mia and 9-inch Little Mia display well together.

This is a closeup of the two cuties.
