Redressing dolls

9 years ago

I have just finished making new clothing for 2 porcelain dolls and one My Twin doll. They are Christmas gifts for a little girl. I created my own patterns and so far have really enjoyed them. I have one more outfit for the My Twin doll. It's going to be a bride's dress, That should be interesting.

Linda, Thanks for looking at these. Took several more photos of the monstrosity - hopefully these show better detail....? The doll is made of plastic. The head and arms are soft plastic, the body is a harder plastic material. The hair is not painted, I guess a 'wig', then? She's about 18" tall, with a baby body and eyes that close. The printing on the back of her neck says Reliable Canada so I took a look at their web site, but can't figure out which doll she would be. Thanks, again. Margaret

Thanks everyone for all the comments on TJ. She does have a Holiday dress for Christmas if I get her changed. I did put a little pair of DGD's gingerbread socks on her after seeing Teegan. The halo and wings came with a Christmas book one of my DF bought DGD a few years ago. She always buys her some kind of a book every year. Can you tell she was a teacher? Invitations? If you promise to bring Teegan, I'll do it! Maybe Jeanne should be sending invitations since she's had Dollbaby longer. Or maybe Candy or Dream since they have had their girls for a long time.LOL Candy, hope you will share Rosemary May with us. After reading about your little ones not caring for her reminded me of a picture I have. It's DGD looking at our Big Santa when she was a Baby. She is almost in tears. If I come across it will share here and with her and see what she says. I gave all my baby clothes to DSis years ago so have to use what DD saved of DGD's. Wish I would of gotten TJ sooner and I could of sent outfits to everyone on here for their little ones. We buy DGD way to many clothes but she's in a 6X now so no way to use them on TJ. Punk

Jeanne, I love that outfit on Dollybaby! Adorable. Karen, Teegan looks delighted with her new tree, village house and santa. So sweet. I still love her on the sled too. I had redressed TJ in her Christmas dress but hadn't got that picture and table posted when I seen this post. BTW, things are moving pretty fast here for me these days. So I took her out of the high chair and thought I would set her on the old sled. Didn't work, her little legs don't spread that far, so sat her in front of it with some snowies and her bear. Then I remembered seeing everyones neat ice skates. I ran to get a set I had painted but could only find one. Yes, one! The other one must be out in the shed. To cold to go hunt it down tonight so decided to share the one I found.LOL Placed it on top of the sled and here she is. I have a couple of the kids little red wagon's that I will have to drag out and play with sometime. Dollbaby & Teegan, TJ's ready,"Let's Party". Hope the others will join the party here. Punk

Technically, the quilt itself can be copyrighted, just like any other work of art. While the block pattern cannot, how you choose to use it, the fabrics, color scheme and techniques that you use combine to make it an original work of art. However, speaking as a pattern designer and writer, I personally don't think that a quilt made from a published pattern is as much an original work as it is a variation on another's work. It's a grey area and has led to much controversy in the quilting world. Speaking as a designer, I figure that I was paid for my labor when you purchased the pattern, so I don't have a problem with you making a quilt from it now and then and selling it, HOWEVER, I would expect to be credited on the label of quilt as the pattern designer, just as a courtesy. There would be a problem if you went commercial with it on a large scale. In an instance like that, I would expect to receive royalties on each item sold. Some patterns even add a copyright clause that limits the number of items that can be made and sold before you have to enter into a licensing agreement. Annie

I especially like the last one, I am very partial to dark hair and eyes. Beautiful.

Hi again, As I promised here is the My Twin doll that I made the wedding gown for. This is my own pattern. I had great fun with the veil. I even crocheted her some tiny white slippers.

The outfits you sewed are just adorable! Nice job! Until one actually sews doll clothes it looks so easy, but when we do it we learn how much hand sewing has to go into it -- and in my case stitch ripping because it's been so long since I've done this and I'm sewing rather complex outfits. I've forgotten so much and am learning again the hard way. But it sure is gratifying when it's done and on the doll. You should be very proud of your excellent work!

Lynetta, These dolls were bought by my friend at the local Goodwill Store. As a gesture of friendship she gave them to the Grandmother of the little girl who got them for Christmas. As a gesture of friendship from ME.......I made the clothing as a gift for HER. It all worked out in the end. Everyone was pleased. (Me too!)
