Dress Maker's Dummy
by Jill Maas
Here is what Jill has to say about this pattern:
The Dressmakers Dummy was first made for an exhibition I held. She stands about 20in tall on a simple wooden base.
"She brought back memories of the old dressmakers dummy in Mum’s room. We loved wrapping her with fabric, draping a fur around her shoulders, pinning on silk flowers and changing her hat. Mum was an extraordinary talented craftswoman and I dedicate this doll to her."

Here is what Jill has to say about him:
Eddie is from Eketahuna, New Zealand.
He is full of mischief, loves mud sliding, collecting earth worms and riding on turkeys and dancing in the dark. His favorite things are strawberry tarts
and watching the sunset.

Olive at the Beach
by Jill Maas
Here is a fun new pattern from Jill.
Olive stands about 181/2 in (48cm) tall. She is made of doll velour with cotton swimsuit trimmed with Lycra. Her legs are wired and she stands on her own.
Here is what Jill has to say about Olive:
"Olive is setting off to the beach to look for husband No5. She is wearing her best pearls and is very keen on those flexible surfies with their sun kissed hair. Olive bleaches her own hair to save hairdressing costs and is very proud that she has managed to stay the same weight as when she married No3, although her body shape has changed somewhat!"

Dancing Doris
by Jill Mass
Fun to make, easy clothes, knitted slippers, a girl on the go!
Jill says: Doris is always thinking of ways to improve herself and gathers her friends around her to form a 'dance class' on Tuesdays in her car shed. The music is turned up and they 'dance as if nobody's watching' from 9 till 10 only stopping for morning tea and a chat! She is an author of several spine chilling novels, grows pink daisies in window boxes and plays the ukulele.
Doris is about 42 cm high, made from velour, she has wired legs and stands on her own.
Sounds like a hoot to me!!

Gertrude
by Jill Mass
Another great pattern...this one is a quirky 12" angle/fairy...well...here let me have Jill tell you in her own words....
Gertrude has many strings to her bow, guardian angel, seasonal fairy, a confidant (to anyone who will listen) and occasionally freelancing for Hugh someone.
My Gertrude took up residence in my roof space. When I started sewing she made herself known by tangling all my threads and throwing pins one by one over my studio floor. She has become a very trusted and semi reliable
friend.
Gertrude can hover, (although not when you are watching), she hovers overhead anytime of the day or night throwing crazy ideas into my head and finding just the right scrapes of fabric, thread or beads to excite me into starting a new project. When I'm working she manages the coffee pot, she keeps trace of time so I remember appointments and when she sees the need, she colors over the grey
days with shades of flamingo pink and lizard green, and a little daisy yellow.
Gertrude has saves mail from going missing, washing from getting wet and my friends from forgetting me. She plays the banjo, sings jazz and dances the tango.
I'm sure your Gertrude will enhance and inspire you too.

A note from Jill
and a note from a U.S. customer Judy Tiller - a great hint!
Jill Maas has a note at her pattern site about weighting her dolls. I use copper BBs, also called copper shot, to add weight to her dolls.I make a little sack for them about 1 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches and pour the shot in, hand sew it tight, and place it in the bottom. I also leave an opening in the back seam and place a circle of cardboard in first then the sack of copper shot. Then stuff around well up to the opening which I sew shut. Works Great!!
|
Ageing Angels and Errol: About the weighting pellets in their base--in New Zealand they are sold by the people who have bear fur and bear making needs--Plastic pellets are NOT heavy enough--they need the heavy weight to stand on their own. Also buckshot or glass sand will work.

Maid Aggie
19" tall (approx.)
Aggie was born in Mangaweka, New Zealand. She has been wroking for wealthy families for 25 yrs. and knows to always keep her ear to the ground and her mouth shut (till she writes her memoirs when she retires!) Aggie spends her days off rodeo riding, training sheep dogs, (she uses the same method when training children) and riding her Harley. She loves applie pies and smoke eels.
Aggie is slightly weathered and slightly boring to look at but she has a very interestingly aged body under that dress. She stands unaided in her very sensible shoes. "I hope you enjoy making her, there is plenty of room to give her your own personal touch in dress if you so desire". Jill
