Clay Doll Heads and hair
Comments (3)Thank you for your suggestions. I ended up using brown clay and one of my tools to "dab" hair on him. I put a flattened disk on his head and then made hair strands by repeatedly dabbing the clay with the tools straight edge. I think it came out ok. I like him. I will post the pictures tomorrow sometime. I have to wait for him to finish baing and then cool before I can add his head to his body. I ill take the pics later tonight after all his glue dries and I can move him! They are adorable!!! Thanks again everyone!...See MoreButtons in bulk

Comments (7)I have made lots of AM Girl doll clothes from patterns like Simplicity, McCall and Butterick. They have good directions and fit perfectly if you cut it out correctly. I try to use light weight woven's and light weight knit fabrics. The AM Girl doll clothes are no where near as hard as Barbie doll clothes because of the size of the doll. You can search the internet for doll zippers (I think its Tiny Zippers) and the fabrics stores have bags of tiny buttons. I buy the Velcro dots for making closures. If you buy the sticky ones you will want to also buy Sewers aid by Dritz. It makes your needle glide through the sticky back on the Velcro dot.. I usually just sew an X over the dot to hold it on. I sew on Velcro for the closures and a button on the outside of the garment with the Velcro right under so it looks like an actual button closure. I also use lots of snaps with the button sewn on the outside just like I do for the Velcro. I like to use as much detail as possible, I don't find hard to add lace or ribbons. I use felt and fleece on occasion, you don't have to finish the edges!! Have fun, start with something simple like a pair of pull on pants with elastic waist. I also bought a doll of my own so I would have it available to fit the clothes to as I am sewing (if you don't already have a doll handy.)...See MoreDressy Bessy doll pattern ?
