Excellent Doll Book

For the avid doll maker this book is full of inspiration and information. I highly recommend this book, regardless of your skill level at sewing. I can not sew well, but the directions make it easy to follow basic patterns. The pictures are beautiful and the book is a job to look at. Truely a must have for any cloth doll maker!

TO BE HONEST Creative Cloth Doll Couture

To be absolutely honest..When I first received Creative Cloth Doll Couture I was disappointed, Know how creative Patti Medaris Culea is , is just beyond words, I have all her books, Creative Cloth Doll Couture at first glance I thought oh no! This isn't my style of creating my dolls, I thought !!! BUT as you truly dive into each and every page of Creative Cloth Doll Couture's You will learn not only knowledge but wisdom also! I am learning so much about creating a dolls clothing for ANY type of dolls, learning about "ALL THE HOW TO DO IT'S" From :body construction, making darts, how to draw a face , face sculpturing, 3 piece heads, jointed legs, straight legs and so much more How to create Clothing, and Accessories, Learn from creating clothes from Fairy, Whimsical, Formal, BIGGEST thing I have wanted to learn was the different types of materials, this book tells ya!!!! collage, layering,appliques' fiber and transfers I HIGHLY recommend this book..from beginners to advanced!
