that measurements are accurate. To help measure hard
to get into places on small dolls. You can lay the
ribbon on the doll and then use a pen dot to mark the
desired amount and then measure the end to the dot.
A plastic coated twist tie works very well for very tiny dolls as you can bend the wire to the exact amount you need and then use a ruler to do the measuring *Eraser- pink pearl or kneaded gum *French Curve, tape dispenser, or sets of "doll size" French curves *Glue stick helps hold tiny pieces to cardstock for final blocks *Light Table or A Box with a Light Inside and Clear Glass or Plastic Over the Top or A Child's Light Table - used for tracing patterns easier *Magnifying glass Lets you see small things easier *Manila Envelopes, Thin Cardboard, Card Stock Or Junk Mail Post Cards Or Thin Cardboard Boxes- for creating permanent blocks *Measuring Tape - a normal sized human one works well. Alternately the retractable purse size measuring tape found at Wal-Mart works very well too. *Muslin- relatively inexpensive way to do test fits and be able to sew the pieces together along with marking on the pieces any changes*Paper- light weight for first drafts of the pattern *Paper Towel, muslin, used dryer sheets- inexpensive way to test patterns*Pencil- mechanical pencil or a no. 2 normal pencil with a sharp point *Ruler - an accurate one marked in 1/16ths and also centimeters (metal is best) There are clear rulers that are marked in 1/10ths that are very useful as well *Scissors - fine tip sewing scissors some for paper and another pair for fabric *Scotch Tape- taping parts of a pattern in place while adjusting or stylizing *Small Rotary Cutter With A Sharp Blade- to ease cutting out pieces from fabric optional The 18mm size is perfect for cutting out even 1" scale pieces accurately *Small Rotary Mat- must be used if you use a rotary cutter optional *Ultra-Fine Point Sharpie used for giving a very fine line that is more visible than pencil to a final pattern *Xacto Knife- to aid cutting out permanent blocks |
