Ave Lady Hailing a Cab Tutorial |
 |
Using the pattern provided cut the dickey with the Alova suede fabric. Spread glue across her chest and on lower edge of bust. Center the bodice and smooth toward sides, pressing tightly with fingers until it holds in place. Since this is a man made fabric, it takes a bit longer. |
|||
 |
Don't worry about
the back since it will not be seen and you will avoid bulk once
the coat is put on. |
|||
 |
I now insert the
arms. I painted the arms brown so that it looks like brown leather
gloves. |
|||
 |
Create a tube around the arms to form the sleeves. Don't fret over it too much because the coat will cover them. I added a strip of leather with a buckle to create the belt.

Using the pattern provided cut the
coat. I used Alova Suede fabric. Buy Now if interested in purchasing this fabric. |

 |
You can sew the coat or glue it. I prefer glueing but it's up to you. I then turned the coat over and trimmed with brown chenille. If interested in fake fur click here. |

If you want to add a necklace now is the time to do it before you put on the coat. You can't see it in this picture but at the last minute I added a gold chain necklace and pearl earrings.
Once you trim the coat with Chenille you can put it on your doll. |

Hair |

Her simple hairstyle is done with the techniques I learned from Dana. Here is one of Dana's tutorials on wigging: http://msatminidolls.minilists.com/wigging1.htm. With this hairstyle you need very little hair. After creating the hairline with glue I lay one piece from front to back of neck then I lay the other piece from ear to ear. I then pulled the hair back and styled. |

Position
your doll whichever way you want. I wanted to position my doll
as if she were hailing a cab in NYC. The Purse was a swap I received
a long time ago. But you can easily create a purse with leather
or suede fabric.

Your doll is now complete! Any questions feel free to email me.
