We are pleased to announce that we will have copies of the much sought after Goodie Two Shoes workbooks available at the Portland, Oregon Crossroads Doll & Teddy Bear Show at the National Guard Armory on February 13th. Many of you will remember these great books that show you everything you need to know about making your own custom leather doll shoes as well as a wide variety of accessories to deck your dolls out in the height of fashion. You’ll find instructions and patterns for parasols, corsets, hoop skirts, bonnets, gloves, bags, and much more.
The well known author of these workbooks, Kathleen Kaufman-Torres, used to give Seminars on making doll shoes and accessories and offered her workbooks and kits both at the seminars and on her website before finally retiring. After seeing a number of postings on doll bulletin boards on the internet asking if anyone knew how to get copies of her works, we were finally able to contact her, and her beautifully illustrated patterns and instructions are now available for you on CDs here in the Store at Yakkity Yak Dolls. Not only does this allow for cheaper shipping and easier storage, but you can still print out the pages you may need for a specific project.
Stop by our table and take a look. We will have copies of both the actual workbooks that she used to sell and the CDs that are currently offered so you can see firsthand what will be included on the CDs. We’re sure that you’ll love them!
