PrintE-mail

In February we had another wonderful sewing seminar! Deanna Torigian was a superb student and already has her website up!

Deanna at her own sewing machine

Deanna came to the seminar to learn all she could about making patterns and beautiful clothes for the fashion dolls, old and new. She wanted to specialize in clothes for Miss Revlon of different sizes, but has already discovered so many new as well as other old fashion dolls that she loves sewing for, she will be sewing for both old and new. She already has clothes on here website, Babette Doll Fashions ( http://www.babettedollfashions.com ) be sure to visit and see her great dresses and outfits, and also visit her ebay seller site, her eBay name is torigian.

Our house and neighborhoodWe thought it would be nice to share some of the moments of the seminar with you!

First a picture of our house where the seminars are held in the upstairs sewing studio. It is pretty scary to think of travelling across the country for a seminar. The sewing studio is upstairs.

Here are some pictures taken during Deanna's seminar:

A beautiful new dress Making sure the trim is even on the next dress
Pressing is essential for nice doll clothes Another dress and pattern done
Another gorgeous pattern and dress finished Deanna made all these patterns from the beginning to end and turned them into these beautiful dresses. She finished the seminar and was excite to be home again making more patterns and doll dresses and getting her website  going. Be sure to put her website on your favorites if you shop for fashion doll dresses for vintage dolls like Miss Revlon and Cissy dolls, as well as for modern fashion dolls like the new Cissy, Tyler,Gene, Kitty Collier and others. Her designs are fresh and unique. I am proud to have had her finish my sewing seminar with such wonderful talent and ability. She will become an important new name in the doll fashion world!

The doll restoration seminars  are to learn professional, museum quality doll restoration.
While I am personally no longer doing the seminars, one of my former students who excelled in the work will be carrying on the teaching to pass on the art.
I am referring everyone to Janie Nafsinger, at Antique Child, she does wonderful work and is an excellent teacher as well. Here is a link to her site, http://www.antiquechild.com/seminar.html 
While you are browsing her site go to her other pages and view more of her work.

You may still email me with any questions and I will pass your emails on to her if you wish.
