A Mannequin out of Duct Tape? Yes You Can!
Jul 29
Summer’s a great time to bond with your kids, right? Well, Libby and I did some serious bonding the other day. 
Libby’s been developing quite a passion for sewing lately. She’s made outfits for her American Girl Dolls, Pullip Doll, Karito Kids Dolls, even her AG mini dolls. With the release of our first girl sized pattern she’s now wanting to make some clothes for herself. We saw this fun idea in the book Sewing Clothes Kids Love
to make a mannequin out of duct tape and just knew we had to try it out! It was fun easy to do, all you need is a few rolls of duck tape (we used Totally Tie Dye
and a mix of other colors), some old clothes, and a little bit of patience! Watch the video below to follow along as we attempted this fun project for the first time.

I think I was the first to comment? Not sure?
Using the numbers that are shown on http://www.agplaythings.com/MegsGuideAGoT/GT-ID/JLY_ID.html I'm going to say:
From left to right are:
#1 is either #35 or #39,
#2 is Kanani,
#3 is #30,
#4 is Ruthie,
#5 is Mia,
#6 is #28,
#7 is Chrissa, and
#8 is Lanie
1-I would say rewigged Molly but you said only one historical. So I'm going to say…#21 rewigged
2-Kanani
3-JLY #30
4-Ruthie
5-Mia
6-JLY #28
7-Chrissa
8-Lanie
Am excited for Libby! Sew girl!
Doll #1 is JLY #21, rewigged; Doll #2 is Kanani; Doll #3 is JLY #40; Doll #4 is MYAG #55; Doll #5 is Mia; Doll #6 is JLY #28; Doll #7 is Chrissa; Doll #8 is Molly/Rosalie rewigged. Mia, Chrissa, and Kanani are the GOTYs, #40, #28, and rewigged #21 are the JLYs, #55 is the MYAG, and rewigged Molly/Rosalie is the Historical! I hope I got all of my guesses correct based on excessively watching all the LJC videos!(LOL) I could really use those 3 free patterns with all the new patterns you guys have been releasing lately! ;D
P.S. We will totally be sending you guys a postcard or two! Be on the look out for one from the OKC "Pops"!(It's a really awesome restaurant near where I live, google it if you haven't heard of it!) ;D

My guess.
Okay, you have a close-up of Doll #1 in your pattern guidebook, and she HAS to be JLY #5, #12, #13, #16, or #34! She has Light Skin, Skinny Eyebrows and Brown Eyes! And of course my other guesses!(Doll #2 is GOTY Kanani, Doll #3 is JLY #40, Doll #4 is MYAG #55, Doll #5 is GOTY Mia, Doll #6 is JLY #28, Doll #7 is Chrissa, and Doll #8 is Historical Molly rewigged!)
Please tell me if I am correct!
It's almost impossibly difficult to do this if they've been rewigged, but I'll try again:
#1 is a rewigged 21 or 27
#2 is Kanani
#3 is #40
#4 is Rebecca or rewigged Julie
#5 is Mia
#6 is JLY #28
#7 is Chrissa
#8 is a rewigged grey-eyed JLY
Emmie, You're close… you're right about Doll1, she is one of those, but you have doll3 listed incorrectly
Fudge! Thank You Cinnamon!! Just a second!
My final guess is this!(I can't believe I was so silly before!!)
I spent a lot of time looking things up in video and even patterns! LOL
Doll #1 is JLY #12, #13, or #16(Sorry i'm not sure;) #2 is GOTY Kanani, Doll #3 is JLY #30, Doll #4 is MYAG #55, Doll #5 is GOTY Mia, Doll #6 is JLY #28, Doll #7 is Chrissa, and Doll #8 is Historical Molly rewigged!
Sorry, and I hope I can still *possibly* win fairly
Yeah! Emmie Johonna – you got it
DOll 1 is JLY13 …. email me @ cinnamon@libertyjaneclothing.com and I'll give you the coupon code.

I have the skirt that she changes into.
That is a great idea! I love to sew and I was looking for a mannequin and after watching your video I think I’m going to make my own mannequin.
Thank you for sharing your idea.
I’m Emme and I live in Uruguay.
