Handmade hanger.




Isn't this the easiest and best idea to hang up doll clothes!
A person could set and make these while watching a movie.....
Like no brainer stuff!

I thought I would include a picture of our doll pattern and what our kids look
like before they are assembled.
To assemble I use 4 ply thread and insert buttons into the tops of the limbs. then run the thread threw the button and then the skin of the limb - then through the doll body and out the other side - then through the skin of the other limb into the button. then I double back through the button and the skin - back through the body and into the limb and button where I started.  Take the needle off and then tie a knot very snuggly in the 4 ply thread and then tuck the thread down into the limb cavity.
finish stuffing and then sew up the limbs.
there's a short tutorial for you.  I hope the assembly process made sense.

ta da..... assembly complete

what I am working on this day






Linda I love the sweater and shoes/boots.  they are very cool.  did you made the levis too?
this is the doll i am working on today.  I have created a fairy wing pattern that will be made out of tulle. I will stiffen it with a mix of 50% glue and 50% water. then after it dries I can sew the wings onto the doll.
I think I will use layers of felt for her clothes.  and will paint/draw on her face.  I have not decided about that yet.  
I can not order more doll skin till the end of the week for the big dolls. I will make one more brown skin doll till then.
Talk to you soon     Gepetta


This is very interesting - Can't wait to see where this goes.  Amazing. - Alyce
