Pam is all dressed up! Not terrible for my first go at
dressing a doll (if I say so myself!). And those of you who commented on my
last post, thank you! As you mentioned, fabric glue is LOVELY when making dolls'
clothes in this scale. I did use the sewing machine on Pam's skirt, but fabric
glue took care of the more fiddly sleeves and bodice. I used Beacon Adhesives
Fabri-Tac. I love this stuff as it quickly dries so there is not much waiting
between steps of a project.
Also to answer a question from Iris March, the doll was made
from a Teresa Glisson mold and painted by Jan Hughes (who sold me the doll).
Her eBay page is
here in case any of you are interested. (Her shipping was SUPER fast!)
If you noticed, I put Pam's hair up. I like it better that way. She looks quite elegant (and ready to meet her new neighbors!)
I also made a cute tote bag out of some scraps. I might make more of these. They are easy and fun, too!
I will be doing a photo shoot soon of Pam in the Glencroft, historical society, and herb shop soon. Stay tuned!
