Leather Body Repair With Celluloid Arms and Legs |
https://etreasureshoppe.wordpress.com/2013/11/24/leather-body-with-celluloid-arms-and-legs
Leather Body Repair With Celluloid Arms and Legs. Leather Body Repair With Celluloid Arms and Legs. November 24, 2013. This poor body is in really sad shape as you can see. This is the first leather body I have restored and I just figured it out as I went along. The broken celluloid was daunting at first. Celluloid is very fragile and doesn’t like water, so I used a barely damp cloth to wipe most of the dirt off the arms and legs. Then I tackled the puzzle of putting the leg together with super glue ...

Needlefelting |
https://etreasureshoppe.wordpress.com/2009/11/27/needlefelting
November 27, 2009. My Kay Petal DVDs and needles got here finally and I have watched them all. Kay has produced a wonderfel DVD set and is also wonderful about answering questions by email. I have spent sooooo many hours on this head, but I have learned a whole lot about needle felting. I am pleased with the way she is turning out. I used Tibetan lambswool for her wig. For her crown of flowers I made a circle of white florists wire and cut out felt flowers and leaves to glue on. Come have tea and chat.

Silk Scarf Dresses |
https://etreasureshoppe.wordpress.com/2010/02/07/silk-scarf-dresses
Beautiful Hand Sewing For Dolls. February 7, 2010. I know that many of you have lovely silk scarves tucked away. They are just too pretty to throw away, but most of us don’t wear them all that often. I am here today to show you what you can do with them. Silk is such a wonderful fabric for dressing dolls, but I have not been able to find small prints, just solid colors. Then one day I was looking through a box and noticed some silk scarves and I thought, Why not? Because the silk is so thin and that it r...

How to Flute Without a Fluter |
https://etreasureshoppe.wordpress.com/2010/02/19/how-to-flute-without-a-fluter
Beautiful Hand Sewing For Dolls. How to Flute Without a Fluter. How to Flute Without a Fluter. February 19, 2010. Fluting looks like fabric or lace that is wavy. It is a nice variation from tiny pleats and gathering and gives a different look than either. One advantage of fluting is that your lace will hang properly instead of standing out, and on tiny cuffs it looks completely controlled. Use an overcast stitch to catch every other pleat, and be certain to catch the gathering thread in each stitch.

Kool-Aid Dyeing |
https://etreasureshoppe.wordpress.com/2009/11/27/kool-aid-dying
November 27, 2009. I have been bitten by the needle felting bug, and as I usually do with new projects, I have gone completely overboard. I have wool all over the place! I can see now that I will have to sell some of it because I won’t be able to use it all up in two lifetimes. I even got some natural cotswold locks and washed them and they are now beautiful. You can see them in the back. September 28, 2010 at 10:19 AM. I never thought of using canning jars to heat the dye. I don’t have a micro...Build a...

November 26, 2009. I have been making antique reproduction dolls for over 30 years. The other day I was surfing the net, as I do too often, and somehow I got off onto cloth doll making. I am amazed at the quality of cloth doll making today, and I have suddenly become interested in making cloth dolls. Many years ago, I made cloth dolls for children, but these dolls are a whole different caliber. Take a look at dolls by. Kay Petal http:/ feltalive.com/. Maggie Iacono http:/ maggiemadedolls.com/.

Mini Pleater – How To |
https://etreasureshoppe.wordpress.com/2009/12/02/mini-pleater-how-to
Beautiful Hand Sewing For Dolls. Mini Pleater – How To. Mini Pleater – How To. December 2, 2009. Here is how I made a 1/4″ pleater with a 5/16″ return. First I printed out one sheet of 1/8″ grid paper and one sheet of cardstock from this site. http:/ incompetech.com/graphpaper/plain/. I set the border to 0.25, and 8 lines per inch. Then I stacked the grid paper on top of two sheets of white cardstock and cut 42 – 3/8″ strips. Now I can make pleats quickly and easily for all my doll clothes. I am happy to...
