Soft Sculpture for the Wall
This, Folks, is about as close to "Dollmaking"
as the Dollmaker got this month...
carry on...
uh-oh.
Remember Last Month's
Welll....
So, she is investing in the Tools of the Trade!
Mastering the Grommet Machine:
one important Discovery took the Big Mystery out of grommet installation:
A Grommet Press does not make the holes.
right. pre-punch the holes. right. got it.
...and use an AWL to punch those holes.
and awl will be well

Claudette was a HUGE help! Now the Dollmaker could work on the fronts, backs and sides of the
and photograph them too without having to keep trying them on and looking in a mirror!

The Dollmaker soon realized that it was awkward and time-consuming to have to be "the model" for all the sizes and types of Beltskirts she wanted to make... She needed a proper Dressmaker's Mannikin So the Dollmaker searched online and found a "Shopkeeper's Mannikin" which was not adjustable, and not suitable for larger sizes, but a good price... it'd do... and when the mail order mannikin arrived, the Dollmaker was thrilled... and named her Claudette...

The evolution of "Styles"
Many useful Applications have presented themselves for the
Pirate Beltwear, Pixie Leaf Belts, Bellydancing, Weddings, Nightclubs, Dog Shows... yes! Dog Shows! Yes! ...the very first Beltskirt sold was an extra-fancy Special Order Dog Handler's Beltskirt
featuring four working pockets and two pouches because in a Dog Show, a fashionable Contestant wants to look terrific while carrying Doggie Treats and the obligatory Doggie Comb!

Dog Handler's Beltskirt... in progress...
Susan is planning to wear her rugged yet attractive Dog Handler's Beltskirt
with a black underskirt or black skinny pants and boots. She will be showing her adorable Papillion, Twinkle, in July.
The Dollmaker soon realized
that one mannikin was definitely not enough!
She needed to be able to refer to one of the
while building another one- on a different model!
so... the Dollmaker sent off for another Mannikin... and
very soon after that, Charlotte arrived!
At first Charlotte seemed a tad conservative...
but soon she was wearing BoHo Beltskirts, just like her new best friend, Claudette
even have a Web Page now!!
