Creative Cloth Doll Couture: New Approaches to Making Beautiful Clothing and Accessories
This book is the third installment on making creative art doll clothing and accessories from successful doll artist Patti Culea, following Creative Cloth Doll Making and Creative Cloth Doll Faces, both from Rockport Publishers. This book builds on the previous two by delving into how to make exotic and beautiful garments and accessories such as hats, shoes, and purses for art dolls. This is the only book available on making clothing for art dolls. Moreover, it not only includes a pattern for various wardrobe staples, but the author offers basic garment making techniques, as well as information on decorative fabric treatments and embellishments. Culea provides tips and techniques for creating everything from a vintage 1940's ensemble to a 1960's type of outfit. There are techniques for dyeing, painting, and stamping to create a beautiful evening gown and how to drape a doll body to create your own pattern. Professional tips, ideas for embellishments, cutting-edge techniques, short cuts, pattern making ideas, and more are also included.

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!
