Finally finished the last embroidered paperdoll book for my granddaughters birthday. 4 is enough but have all the girls covered. :) Had to digitize the doll and all her clothes from pictures I downloaded. I also had to re-digize a lot of the pictures on the pages because they didn't stitch out well (they were freebies). Here is "Maggie" with her Sunday best ready to put on.

I know she will be tickled. Most of the pages are things she likes to do. It was fun, but after 4 books, I look forward to something new. :)

Your granddaughter is lucky to have you for a grandma. She'll love this book. I've wondered what to do with paper dolls.

Thank you. I always loved paperdolls and decided to see if it would work embroidering them. This is my 4th book. Each were of a different paper doll. I tried to find scenes for the pages that went with the outfits and interests of the granddaughter receiving it.

I loved paperdoll when I was growing up. I want to make embroider "paper"dolls for my granddaughters too. Since I don't digitize I have bought a couple of sets. This is lovely and I would love to see all 12 pages.

This is lovely. I put the paperdoll and clothes I embroidered in a cardboard box, but this is so much nicer. How do you attach them? Velcro? Or do I see pinheads?
1 comment
They are attached with doubled backed stick on velcro. Fussy side on the back of the clothes so that when they put the clothes on the doll it will not bother the stitching. I send an extra roll of velcro to my daughter in laws so they have some if the velcro wears out.

The book you've made for your Granddaughter is great Dkjack. Sounds like it has been a lot of work but you can bet that it will be loved & well used.
