@@kerir8509 thank you so much! It's very fun to sew for dolls ~ it makes for a fairly easy project, fast turn around time, and the grandkids get to enjoy vintage quality and cute dolls! 🥰💞💕💞🥰

@@GaGirlGwen you are so welcome! I'm really glad this could be useful, and thanks for subbing! 🥰🥰😘🥰

Lol ~ sorry ~ this was one of my first ever videos, and I didn't even know how to take video much less edit...so I ended up making it in several parts ~ here is the link to the actual winding bobbin info kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYeclKevnM-Dlacsi=ftTS-Ep0Y3_-5iyB

Thanks I did find the others. Appreciate your efforts.

It did indeed, we are still using that same mattress in our trailer and it has held up beautifully! Also, Since our bed is set up all of the time, it's the only other place to sit in our tiny trailer, so we sit on the edge of it allllllll the time, and the sides have not sagged or become misshapen whatsoever. It is sooo comfy, I love it!🥰💞💝

I do have a few patterns that are for saucy walker. I will try to get those put up in my etsy. It will be a week from now though, as I am heading off to Women's Conference this coming week. 😊

I'm so glad I was able be helpful! The Kawaii shop is so fun, isn't it? I have gone a little overboard there, lol!😁🤫

Thank you Robin! I have had the best luck finding them on ebay. I have found many gems in purchasing vintage wig lots. Try using any or all of the tag words : vintage doll wig lot nos . (The nos stands for New Old Stock, and means the wigs have not been glued down or used, even though they are quite old!)

@@CarolsCurrentObsession Thank you so much!

@@JillsInMyTreeHouseKitchen thank you so much! Bonus is that my grandkids have really enjoyed playing with the dolls! 🥰🥰

Ok so if it's an original wig, it should just easily peel up, however if the wig is more recent and has been glued with a stronger glue it will take some more serious action. If someone has gorilla glued the wig down, you may need to peel it off with a razor.

@@CarolsCurrentObsession I just tried it with a 1950s Ginny doll with alcohol wipes on 70 year old glue, and managed to get it off. I was worried about damaging the plastic, but so far it seems to be okay. It wasn't going to come off without some kind of chemical help. Thank you for your response! I enjoy your videos about dolls!

@@suzannebeinart4359 I've never tried alcohol wipes! Would you be willing to come back a few weeks later and say whether it discolored or damaged the plastic? If it works well, then that will save hundreds of vintage doll restoring folks much grief and thousands of hours! 🥰😊🥰😊🥰

@@CarolsCurrentObsession Sure can ! So far so good, but it's only been less than a day!

@@CarolsCurrentObsession It's now April16th and nothing bad has happened to the plastic heads of my old Ginny dolls, so I am going to keep using the alcohol wipes to get rid of the old wig glue!

Oh yeah, I did another stringing doll video in which I showed the arms. I'm sorry I didn't include it in this one. Basically it's the same idea, only I always prefer stretching the arms band only between the arms, rather than using the same band as the head and legs. One of the reasons for that is that sometimes you want to position the the arms a certain way and you can't because the pressure on the legs and head are off and won't let it stay there. Anyway, so measure a few inches past across the length of the chest, then double it and cut to length. Hook one arm hook through, then feed the ends through that arm arm hole, then hook the other arm hook on one side of the strings, and tie the strings as tight as you possibly can, and then tie the knot again. Shove the ends into the body cavity, and voilá, they are done!

I think you will be pleasantly surprised, and quite happy with your purchase 😊 I know I was. 😊😊 I'm glad the review was helpful 🥰💞🥰

😂😂😂 you just found yourself in the weird part of the internet 😂😂 welcome...😬😳😂😂😂

@@CarolsCurrentObsession Well, I was always in the weird corners ;)

I've answered this on several other comments, and I too am surprised about the nature of this doll ~ however ~ no, it's not hard plastic, it truly is compo. I do have another Sweet Sue that is the same size and she IS a hard plastic, and I did a video on her and show these 2 dolls together as well. Even the coloring is different, as would be obvious between a hard plastic and compo doll. But how do I know for sure that she is compo? A couple of things ~ she has crazing, which is not to be found on a hard plastic doll, she knocks or sounds like a compo doll, and, most importantly ~ if you look at the inside of her limbs, you can clearly SEE that she is compo. I don't know what the back story is on her, or where she originated, but my best guess is that she was a transition doll or a prototype doll. And there you have it. A weird one off? Maybe.... I haven't ever seen another compo Sweet Sue in her size. I do have several 18" and 14" Sweet Sue's that are compo as well as hard plastic ones, but this 24" is the only compo one I've ever come across.

🤔👌🏻🤣🤣 you guessed it, idaho indeed 🤣 you must either be from this area or have known folks from this area, lol, Idaho is not really well known. Well..Well... at least, we didn't used to be...lol... people routinely mix us up with Iowa and Ohio, or think we are a city somewhere in California 🤣🤣🤣

I know right? My genius husband sometimes drives me a little crazy, lol, but I have to admit he comes up with some really genius ideas, too! God bless them! 🥰💞🥰

Thank you so much! 🥰🥰😘🥰

Thank you Micki 🥰🥰😘🥰

Sorry meant wood filler lol

I don't know if just any wood filler would work, simply because I have only used the Elmer's. If you are going to experiment, be very careful about it, and test it out in a hidden place, such as the ball joint that fits into the hip, or something. No worries on the wig, there are many many wigs available on ebay that will fit and look great, just be sure to measure her head correctly, and you are golden 🥰🥰 Good luck on your awesome buy, let me know how it goes! 🥰

@@CarolsCurrentObsession thanks, and I’ll stick to what you suggested. Thanks for everything 😊

Thank you so much! Good Luck, 🥰🙂Let me know how it goes! 🥰

Dear Julieta, thank you so much! Your comment means the world to me 🥰🥰🥰😘🥰💕💞💕 I'm so glad the videos are helpful for you ~ this gives me energy to post more! Thank so much, my friend in Mexico! 💕💞💕🥰😘

@@CarolsCurrentObsession yes! I like them so much, and I will follow your tutorials from now and forever 😘

Hi Liz 🥰 Thank you so much for caring! 🥰🥰🥰 I've been in and out of several illnesses lately, and we had 3 new grandbabies born this year, one of which I was caring for for a few months while that daughter was finalizing her exit from a job so that she could stay home full time. I do have several new dolls and outfits to show you all, and I even have some of the filming done, but I hadn't been able to find time to finish up and edit and post. It's probably TMI, lol, but I just started a new medication called mounjaro for type 2 diabetes, and hopefully I'll be back into full swing here in a few weeks. I really miss all of you and I'm really looking forward to posting about these new dolls and their costumes, plus I have a few vintage dolls that I have been slowly but surely working on restoring as well, and I can't wait to show those to everyone as well. 🥰 Thank you again for your concern, I truly appreciate it, and I promise I'll get some new videos out very very soon! I hope you have a beautiful week, my friend! 🥰🥰🥰🥰💕🥰

@CarolsCurrentObsession I hope everything works out for you and wish the best for you and your family❤️❤️❤️
