Cloth Doll Mermaids is a 2+hour workshop + bonus doll pattern from Patti Medaris Culea featuring all of her signature techniques as well as many new ideas to create fabulous cloth doll mermaids - and wonderful starfish perches and pin cushions.
Part One: Making the Cloth Doll Mermaid
In the first part of Cloth Doll Mermaids, Patti reviews the included pattern and notes. She begins with an Introduction to the workshop and reviews all of the things you will need. Patti recommends using batik cotton fabrics in the workshop and provides a lot of information on special sewing tips and tricks to get your mermaid “see-worthy”. Patti demonstrates how to sew the doll body, make the hands and arms, and how to draw, color and accent the doll’s face. Extra attention is given to the cloth doll mermaid body which must be weighted down so the mermaid can sit (she has no legs at sea!). Additional instruction is offered on stamping and stenciling the mermaid torso and tail to add fishlike scales in lustrous colors. Patti demonstrates how to embellish the mermaid’s body, how to stamp and embroider tattoos on her arms and sea vines on her body, and how to add beaded accents. Patti excels in moving through each step with wonderful video close-ups and lots of support (including added tips and information in the enclosed eBook).
Part Two: Finishing the Mermaid and Making her Starfish Perch
Once we have sewn the basic parts of our cloth doll mermaid and stamped and painted our tail and fin fabrics, it’s time to pull the cloth doll mermaid together. We add beading and embroidery stitching to our mermaid arms and body and working with dyed organza we make our wrist cuffs, tail flukes and headpiece. Part of pulling the mermaid together is creating a starfish perch which is complimented by dyed felted fabrics and beading. Lastly as a bonus project, Patti includes a pattern for a starfish pincushion which is not only a lovely accent but a useful tool in your doll making studio. More than two hours of HD video including a history of mermaids and folk tales and 4 PDFs including the extensive doll pattern make this one of Patti Medaris Culea’s finest doll making workshops so far.
