Seam Strengthening Technique

Taught by Judy Skeel and Gloria “Mimi” Winer


Because Grrrip Glue is a little stretchier than other white glues when dry, it is the perfect substance for strengthening any seam in a doll body, particularly those subject to extra stress and blowouts such as the fingers and the center seam of the face. 

  1. Transfer the Grrrip Glue into the applicator bottle.

  2. Apply a tiny line of glue directly onto the thread line.  Don’t use a lot, but be sure it is a continuous line from wrist to wrist going along all the fingers. This is also how you repair a clipped a thread from trimming the fingers.

  3. With your thumb lightly apply pressure on the thread line and pull away to the edge of the seam allowance to spread the glue. This will make a thin coating of glue embedded into the fibers to strengthen the seam allowance that will still have a little “give” when turning and stuffing. Repeat for the second side.



  4. Allow the fingers to dry before trying to turn them so you don’t glue them closed!

  5. Follow the same steps for the center seam of the face and you’ll be amazed at the difference this makes in strengthening the seams and helping the center face seam to be less obvious.

Snag Repair Tool
This precision tool repairs snags in knits and wovens by gently pulling snag to back of fabric and realigning fibers. A must for every sewing kit!

Pavercotton – 50 Gram Bag

PAVERPOL

Dip materials such as cotton, paper towels, silk, wool, linen– almost anything except plastic - into this transparent substance and they will dry rock hard. Natural materials work best because the fibers absorb the Paverpol. Synthetics such as chamois leather, self-hardening clay, polystyrene foam, dried flowers, wood, plaster, pottery, etc. also work, but the product is not absorbed into the fibers, it lies on top. You can harden and get the materials to hold the shape you want, but you may have to add another coat for strength after it dries.

Paverpol dries fast, but slowly enough to allow plenty of working time. Create beautiful art pieces or sculptures that can be displayed indoors or outdoors. Garden objects do not need to be varnished unless they are painted with acrylic paints. Easy to wash off hands with warm water.

In its liquid state, Paverpol cannot be allowed to freeze. During the winter months, we will carefully monitor shipment temperatures to delivery areas. We will not ship on days when the temperature is below freezing along the route path of the package. This policy will help us maintain the quality and deliver the best performing product to you.

Creative Paperclay®

Creative Paperclay

 

This unique air hardening modeling material requires no firing in a kiln or baking in an oven. Clean, odorless and easy to use, it feels similar to earthen clay; however, it contains no clay in it at all!  It can be sculpted, molded or shaped while it's moist and it accepts and retains fine details. It adheres easily to wood, canvas, and most surfaces without glue!  Lightweight and durable, it may even be carved or sanded after it has hardened.

 

Dried Creative Paperclay® can be painted with any kind of paint; it's just like painting on wood or paper. If you prefer, water based paint may be kneaded into the Paperclay® while it's still moist. We recommend protecting your finished projects by sealing them with a coat of lacquer or varnish.

Available in 8 oz. $6.95 or 16 oz. Size $11.95

Proportional Scale
What every dollmaker needs when resizing patterns!

Proportional Scale
Instructions Included Price $4.00

Qty: 


Making Doll Accessories To Scale
You can use a Proportional Scale to determine the size an accessory needs to be to be in scale with the doll. On the inner wheel find the number 65. This is the height of an average female (5'5"). If you are making a male use 70" (5'10"). On the outer wheel find the size of the doll you wish to make, for example 16". Place the 65 and 16 together and don't move anything. To determine what size an accessory should be measure the life-sized object, find that measurement on the inner wheel, and the outer wheel will tell you how big it needs to be to fit the doll you are making. In the example above, an umbrella measures 36", the 16" doll needs one about 8-1/2" long. A wooden spoon measures 12", the 16" doll needs one a little less than 3" long. This way you can be sure all accessories are to scale.
How To Use A Proportional Scale Wheel

This round slide ruler, used by engineers, architects, artists, publishers, and other professionals who need to create accurate enlargements and reductions, consists of two wheels held together in the middle by an open rivet. The inner wheel is labeled "size of original" and it has a window which says "percentage of original size" and "number of times of reduction". The outer wheel is labeled "reproduction size". To use the wheel take the size of the existing pattern (e.g. 12" doll) and find that measurement on the inner wheel. Line up that number with the size the finished pattern needs to be (e.g. 18" doll). In the window labeled "percentage of original size" it says you need to enlarge the pattern by 150%. Go to your copy machine, set it to 150% enlargement, and copy the original pattern. To reduce a pattern (e.g. 12" doll to 10" doll), line up 12" on inner wheel with 10" on outer wheel, and you need to reduce pattern 83%. When using this method be sure to only enlarge or reduce the template which is made by tracing the sewing lines of the pattern - do not include the seam allowance. As you reduce or enlarge a pattern the seam allowance changes, and what started out as ¼" seam may end up being a lot larger or smaller. Add seam allowances (if needed) after copying the pattern.
