Excellent video! Recently my daughter wanted to get her Cindy doll collection valued , a woman contacted my daughter from the Doll and Musical instrument agency in Vancouver, they requested we send pictures of all 37 doll in her collection with a value fee of 350$ Canadian, . Approximately a woman telephoned my daughter from their value team and they told her the dolls were worthless because she had cut the hair of some and the others were covered in damage which is untrue. My daughter is absolutely devastated. Please help!

Hey there! Do you know if there's anything out there on how to fix the legs or arms whenever the plastic melts together?

For anyone looking for the pattern - I didn't get very many orders and the subscription to enable the downloads was too high so I had to discontinue them. sorry

Thank you for sharing this. I want to restring one of my Sindy’s but I can’t unscrew the screws on the caps, have you come across this and if so how do you manage to get them off? 🤔 many thanks

This is great, thank you. FYI, the top thread should be under the foot with the bobbin thread pulled to the back, at the start of the sewing not above.

This saved my new Sindy’s life today, she arrived with the rubber band snapped. I did this the way you demonstrated but was very slightly still a little loose so I rotated one of the legs a few times to tighten the elastic it worked fantastically well. Many thanks 🙏 ❤

I cleaned my dolls like this but used kitchen spray with bleach and my toothbrush. Shampoo hair too. They came up quite good.
@ShimmyShimShop2 жыл бұрын
Glad you got the results you were looking for! I would personally avoid bleach in case it damaged the surface or hair, but whatever works for you : )

Thank you, this is so helpful!! Speaking of the eyelashes, do you have a video about replacing the eyelashes? I can do a lot of things when fixing up dolls, but I've never bothered learning to properly reroot hair, let alone lashes! Daunting, lols.

Thank you, these Sindy care videos are gold. I have a Sindy on the way that is in literal pieces, so I was hoping someone would know how to get those hook arms from the active Sindy's back on!! The one I have on the way is also separated at the waist and neck, so I figure I might have to get my elastic game on, and string it like a bjd. We'll see. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

Where is best to find your sindys for a good price? I like to restore sindys in bad shape but I'm always being outbid. 30.00 pounds plus seems excessive for a doll that needs a lot of restoration.. 😊
