Yes. Use a short stitch length. Also, some details, like the fly on a pair of jeans, can be drawn on with a sharpie rather than stitched. .

Yuki and Ron found a logical location where three walls were already in the perfect place. All that needed to be done was to put up a short wall in the front and attach some doors. The Saegusa family would then have the additional closet space they needed. 1. Remove carpet in closet:Begin by measuring the area needed for the closet and then transfer that measurement to the floor. Once the depth of the closet has been measured on both sides, lay a piece of masking tape between the lines, stretch a chalk line over it, snap it and then use the utility knife and a straight edge to cut through the carpet. Pull up the carpet and remove the molding. Once the baseboards are off you are ready to build the new walls. 2. Install bottom and top plates:Begin by installing a bottom plate. In Yuki’s case this piece of 2 x 4 had to be attached onto concrete, which meant they had to drill holes into the concrete with a masonry bit. Drill a clearance hole through the wood block or bottom plate. This will also start the hole in the concrete. To prevent drilling too deeply, hold the lag shield up against the masonry bit and then wrap a piece of black tape around the drill bit at that depth. When the bottom edge of the tape reaches the concrete, stop drilling. With a hammer, tap the lag shield into the hole in the concrete. · Slip a lag screw through the 2 x 4 and into the lag shield and snug it tight with a socket wrench. Attach top plate, also a piece of 2 X 4, on the ceiling by screwing it into the header with #10 x 3″ dry wall screws. Repeat the above steps on the opposite side of the new closet. 3. Wall studs: Measure the distance between the top and bottom plates, then cut the first wall stud. Slide the wall stud up against the existing wall between the top and bottom plates. Use a drill to counter sink a pilot hole and attach the wall studs with a couple of dry wall screws. Do the same thing with a second wall stud only this time you will attach it to the top and bottom plates instead of to the existing wall. For rigidity, add a small piece of 2 x 4 to the center of the new wall and attach this with screws as well. Repeat the above steps on the opposite side of the new closet. 4. Measure, cut and install wallboard:With the framing in place, it’s time to measure for the wallboard. To cut wallboard, simply draw your dimensions on one side with a pencil. Using a straight edge and a very sharp utility knife, score along that line and then turn the board over. Fold it back along the score you just made then use the utility knife again, to cut along the fold. The wallboard piece should now easily snap off. Secure the wallboard with #8 X 1 5/8″ dry wall screws, making sure the heads are below the surface, but not tearing through the paper. Repeat the above steps on the opposite side of the new closet. 5. Measure, cut and install door jamb:Using a level, check to be sure that the sides of your new structure are plumb and vertical and that the top is level. In Yuki’s case the top was not level but rather low on one end. If something is not level and plumb, you will have to take this into consideration when you install the new doorjambs. Measure the distance between the two wall studs then cut a piece of doorjamb material. If necessary, insert shims above the doorjamb to level it. With two shims, one inserted from each side of the doorjamb, you will be able to adjust the slope of the jamb until it is level. Using a nail gun and 8-penny finish nails, install the top piece of the doorjamb to trim out this opening. If you needed to use the shims, score them with a utility knife, and snap them off. After the top jamb has been installed, measure and cut the pieces for the jamb on either side. 6. Measure, cut and install doorstop: Measure the new closet door thickness and then transfer that measurement to the jamb using a combination square. This is how you will know where to position the doorstop, which is a piece of molding that keeps the door from swinging into the closet. Install the doorstop with 6-penny finish nails. 7. Finish wall joints: Seal the joints between the old wall and the new wall using self-stick perforated joint tape. Press the tape into the corners, then use a putty knife to apply joint compound, which is a spackle-like material that when dry can be sanded smooth. Push the compound into the holes creating a seamless surface. To conceal the gap between the edge of the wallboard and the doorjamb, cut a special piece of molding called door casing. These moldings have to be cut with an angled miter cut. Before the casing is cut to length, measure the position about 1/8 inch to the edge of the jamb. Then cut the casing and nail it in place using a pneumatic nail gun and 6-penny finish nails. 8. Install new doors: Ron chose to hang the new doors using non-mortise hinges because they are much easier to install. · Measure down about seven inches from the top of the door and lay the first hinge on the edge of the door. Ron recommends using a self-centering drill bit, which makes it easier to find the exact center of the hole you are drilling into. After drilling pilot holes, drive in screws to secure the hinge in place. Position the second hinge about seven inches up from the bottom. Once the hinges are on the doors, you simply need to hold the doors in position and screw the hinges into the jamb. 9. Finishing touches: Apply spackling compound to nail holes in the molding using your finger. After allowing the joint compound and spackle to dry overnight, give it a light sanding, then prime and paint everything. Add some nice knobs or pulls to your door, and your closet conversion is complete. RESULTS:After using just about every power tool in his mobile shop, Ron and Yuki transformed this empty space into a really terrific closet in just one day! Now her family is ready for the cold months of winter. No matter how thick their winter coats are, they now have a place to hang them out of the way!

1. Dogs, especially min pins, are not meant for purses. Ever. Purses are for wallets and sunglasses. Only very rarely should a very small dog needs to be toted around (like to the vet and when traveling).2. Please don’t put your dog in doll clothes. Most dogs don’t really like it. I only put sweaters on my little dog in cold weather, when she actually appreciates it. Doll clothes don’t really provide warmth. If your min pin is in cold weather, please just use a sweater.

Heyy! I’m 11, too, and i sew. I love to make clothes for american girl dolls and i even made a pioneer dress for myself! Sewing is actually kind of easier than it looks. There are sewing books at a library and stuff, or you can look around your house. There are sewing patterns for baby dolls at fabric stores, too. If your doll already has clothes, choose a simple piece of clothing that looks not-quite-so-complicated. ( If your doll has a slip or something sleeveless, that is the best way to go.) Trace it on fabric about an inch or so from the dress. I suppose you can look at where the original dress is stitched and try to stitch it in the same places where you see it. Sorry I can’t givew more sewing info, but I have to go! Good luck!

The best thing to do is use fabric glue. Cut out the patterns, giving a little bit more of the seam allowance. This will allow you to apply the glue without loosing too much fabric.It works well. Good luck.

American Girl clothing is too wide for a BJD. You may find an occasional usable piece like a stretch waist skirt, scarves, etc. The furniture for American girl often looks too big for a 16/17″ BJD and sometimes the seats of chairs and couches are too close to the ground (because AG’s knees don’t bend, they make those sit low). Also often AG furniture is too clunky looking. However some pieces of the furniture work fine, especially more delicate stuff like some of the real American Girl wood pieces. If you can find a store with American Girl furniture, bring your doll to see how the furniture fits. Then personally, I buy the furniture cheaper on Ebay. I got a nice AG computer/drafting table and chair on Ebay that fits my 42cm BJD perfectly. And there are some fairly delicate looking beds I’ve seen on Ebay too. The beds are a bit long and wide but OK.For my BJDs I bought chairs on Ebay. I look for chairs 9-10 inches tall, not too clunky and with high enough-looking seats. I have found wood and wicker chairs.One of the chairs I found on Ebay:http://www.thedollpage.com/photopost/data/7623/820Roxie1.jpg

Dj is right! My daughter loves Redtruckdollclothes.com The clothes are definitely hip and the site is really easy to use. Order is filled quickly and the packages are wrapped with care. I love the prices!!
January 8th, 2011 at 2:12 pm
Yes you can. My tip is make up job lots, that way you maximize your return and keep your costs down. Put something spectacular in each lot and fill the rest of the lot up with mediocre stuff. Make the bidding last seven days too, lets more people see and end the sale always on a Saturday. Good luck!

Well, what do you count as a reasonable price? This is an expensive hobby and the expense doesn’t end with the dolls. Honestly, the clothes prices on DoD don’t strike me as all that outrageous compared to other places I know. That said, when I want a slightly larger variety of clothes I look on Dollmore, since they seem to have things in generic sizes that fit most dolls reasonably well. Another option is Mimiwoo/Mimi collection (Google Mimi Collection, or look for MImiwoo on eBay). You can check American and Canadian-based distributors like Junky Spot, Denver Doll Emporium, or Featherfall to see what their prices are like. Searching through eBay for doll clothes is also an option. If you join a forum like Den of Angels, Resinality, or a Livejournal BJD community, you might be able to find suggestions of clothes not made specifically for BJDs that will fit your doll. Resinality and Den of Angels both have marketplaces where people sell all kinds of doll-related items, and once you earn access (read the forum rules to find out how) you can look for doll clothes there. But many or even most people in the hobby have another solution as well…if they don’t want to spend the money on ready-made clothes and/or they can’t find something ready-made in a style they want for their doll, they learn to make things themselves and make some or all of their doll’s clothing.

I love doing miniature anything! You can make the cutest little ‘lederhosen’ (the leather shorts with suspenders) out of tan felt. Use fabric paint to make dots to represent the little design on the band that goes across the chest between the two suspender straps. Put a green dot on either side of a red dot, the draw the green dots out sideways with a toothpick. It’ll look like a floral patttern. Make him a little white shirt and felt hat, too, if you have time. Go to Google images and look for “lederhosen” or “Oktoberfest” or “Tyrolean” or even “German dolls.” Black and white felt will make cute socks and shoes.For the girl doll, make a white blouse and a bright-colored jumper with a poofy full skirt. Decorate the edge of the skirt and across the chest with your fabric paint. Use yellow yarn to give her blond braids. Again, Google images can help. You can also type in “traditional German costume” if the other three suggestions don’t give you the picture you need.

If you live near a fabric store like Hancock’s or Joann’s, you might want to check out their patterns. They usually carry lots of patterns for AG dolls and frequently have sales where you can buy patterns for $1 or $2. If not, check out Simplicity,or McCall websites – they have pictures of patterns that fit AG dolls. If you make your own patterns you can get tons of ideas from these pictures. For instance you can make dresses with a Renaissance, Prairie, 50′s or retro look…well just about anything imaginable…even Halloween costumes, wedding or formal wear and not to overlook sports clothes. Those AG type dolls must be the best dressed dolls in town!If you’re new to sewing, you might want to start out with something easy like some pajamas or nightgowns; then on to some play clothes. They even have a pattern to make a toy dog for AG type dolls!And if you’re sewing for your little girl’s doll, you might want to make some look-alike clothes for her as well!Happy sewing and doll dressing!
