This week has seen me making a quiet book of dress up dolls. It has been such fun,
My cousin Julie sold me her fabric and gave me instructions on how to.
First I had to fuse the back of the fabric, both the dolls and the clothes, with Vliesofix. I had to remove the backing paper and fuse the dolls onto cardboard and the clothes and accessories onto paper. Then began the long slow process of cutting them all out.
I made the book out of material which I was lucky enough to have in my stash. First off I made the pockets and trimmed them with lace or ribbon. Then had to sew them on. I also hand-sewed charms and some buttons on each page to give a little more to look at. The cover and each page had to have fusing and interfacing ironed on. Then they had to be stitched together and turned through before pressing again and top stitching. I think it was well worth the effort.
