Hi everyone, I'm new but not new to collecting small dolls! I have loads of Dawn, Pippa, JPI Starr, and clones.  Evelien, I wish I could make clothes too....can't hand sew that well either...and here I go and buy tons of fat quarters to make clothes with.  I'd be glad to commission someone to make something cool from them tho! ;)

What type of doll are you working on? :)

I'd like to start making more doll clothes as well, but I don't know how to sew using a machine and my handwork is crappy :P. Something I wanna learn!

I like all those dolls, very nice looking. I have a reroot also, I am so busy, that I don't have time to pick her up. It is mostly all the house work and the errands, that bog me down. And I want to do more sewing, I have a singer featherweight, but I can't find time to do anything right now. And I work in the afternoons.

You're right about that, I have one doll that I think was very cheap (the Fairlandtoy 1983 doll from my discussion in the ID-ing group), because she is only rooted in the middle of her head, a bit like a mohawk style :P. Then again I don't want to give her new hair because A) the hair she DOES have looks fine and B) I'm afraid I'll make her less pretty when I start adding hair. So I see where you're coming from :)

 

I don't have a lot of rerooting experience myself, I only did two Pams and I'm "working" on the third. Yeah, not working, but "working", lol, because I stopped working on her about a year ago because of studying stress. I'll finish her soon after I graduate though. :)

I am not sure, if she is supposted to have less hair. Lots of clone have cheaper thinner hair. I am so bad at rerooting, I would destroy her if I took my hand to the doll. LOL

Nice coat indeed, I like the fabric! Her hair is a bit thin isn't it? Is she missing plugs? I think you could make her look fabulous with just a bit of new hair :D

My fashion World Doll

not that great a doll, but I liked the rain coat, but it hard to button the top button.

Cool! Would love to see the photo!

Would you perhaps check out the new post I made in the 'Fitting furniture' topic? I wanna share my homemade sofa with the world! :D Lol

I got a dawn clone today. I just got back from a nancy jo doll show, and I picked up a dawn clone for 5 dollars. I used the dawn site to ID and she is Fashion World, a blond. She has broken eye lashes, but the hair is ok, and no greening. This is not my favorite dawn clone. I like Tina Mod or the others better, but there was only one dawn clone in the whole show and just a few dawns, but those are more expensive. She has a nice orange coat, I have to get her cleaned up before I can post a photo.

Too bad I threw away a broken Katie from my childhood like two weeks ago, I could have shown you they're quite different :)
