I want to make a set of these dolls soon. What I was going to try is something suggested at another site. They suggested laying down a ribbon across the clothes pattern prior to embroidering. This way little ones can learn to tie too. I too am afraid of swallowed dots & the tacky glue getting on little fingers & getting ingested. There’s a lot of toxins in glue.

But I must say I love all the dolls that you created!

Thank you Nadyne, i thought about the tabs, but with the velcor dots i liked it just as well, and a lot of people are doing something called sticky glue it’s reusuable and then just peel and stick new one. but as always we love to hear new ideas. Keep us posted.

I haven’t made any paper dolls yet, can’t wait for time to do it. However, my fabric store mentioned using Pentax for the doll in that it is very stiff and wouldn’t bend with play. I want to try making the clothes and when they are cut out, simply cut the fabric for tabs to bend behind the dolls, just like in paper dolls. Just haven’t decided what the basic fabric should be to be able to do that. If I come up with a solution that works, I’ll post it in the future.

I love the paper dolls does bring back memories of when I was young. Didn’t have money for dolls and frilly things as my folks called it. Would set for hours with an old Sears catalog and cut out paper dolls. I have a grand daughter on the way and you bet I will be making some of these.
Love it.

I am making a quilt for a special cousin whose baby girl is due in February. I am putting a special pocket on the back of it to hold the paper dolls for the years to come when little hands want something to play with. I used velcro for fastening so buttons won’t get into little mouths.

Very cute and I use the Tack it over and over glue. It works fine. The plastic canvas was a new idea. Will have to try and see how it works.
