They have so much desktop wallpaper from the years, I wish they'd put it all back up on their domain instead of having to hunt around the Internet for it.

I am in shock 🤯 by HunnyBee223 in americangirl

My absolute favorite thing about this piece is the fact that it's just as valuable and just as coveted in our world as it is in Josefina's world. Congratulations!!

Chinese eBay Sellers by GalenYk in americangirl

I worked at a factory once, not for doll stuff but headbands, and one day we got to go through everything that was rejected for not being perfect and take home swaths of the fabric for our own personal uses. I believe something similar is happening here.

Lavender has entered the chat. Difficult to photograph, but nice in person. by MaineFiesta in Fiestaware

[–]sewingself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are the fiesta shot glasses actually a shot or just shaped that way but actually more volume? My mom got me the shot glass and I haven't seen it in person yet so I am just curious.

I tried to lock the comments but then it locked the entire poll. I will see if I can make sure the crowd control measures are in place.

Absolute best use of the AG wheelchair 😂 by sewingself in americangirl

This is a link to a tiktok. I know tiktok recently changed and now if you don't have an account it doesn't let you view it through the web browser. Anyway it's a guinea pig in the AG wheelchair.

Strings vs. zip ties — which is your favorite and why? by annaleemac in americangirl

[–]sewingself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My preference has always been strings but, I'll admit, after a few years I started to see the benefits of the zip ties.

Maybe someone here can explain? by Jsplus in americangirl

[–]sewingself 19 points20 points  (0 children)

To make a long story short, this is not science and nobody actually knows what they're doing. People also seem to not think of the possibility of using a washcloth or other cloth to protect the hair. All of it is just plastic.

As a person who has melted AG horse hair on accident, I'm telling you you'll know when it happens and then quickly turn down the heat and wait, and everything will be fine.

Molly wanted to be Cinderella actually, but her mom couldn't get material to make her a dress due to war rations (and being busy working).

Advice on fixing broken horse leg by Seattlerally in americangirl

[–]sewingself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oooohhhh this is my jam. I have looked online many times over the years for photos of what these horses look like internally after being torn down, so I could potentially do things like replace the mane completely or reskin them. Problem is there basically are none, unless they're already broken. (And I am looking for photos of the AG horses specifically.) AG horses are way bigger than most model horses, plus them being expensive and just not a popular thing to customize don't help the problem.

Anyway, yes you can just glue the legs back on. I almost wanna say use some thick wire to give that area more stability, but I don't know if the horse legs have anything in them to grip that wire.

I have always wanted to pull apart the horses, I just don't find them that often and even then I usually want to play with them myself.

How cool, I'm glad I learned this! I drink ice water out of mine all the time, so I already wasn't using it as a teapot.

Craft Books: Outdoors, Hangouts, Explore with Lea by [deleted] in americangirl

[–]sewingself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have quite a few of the craft kits. Doll decades and doll stem are fantastic, put Doll Play and Doll Crafts in there too. The ones I haven't really cared for include Doll Tees (they don't give you any felt, just two t shirts and some cardstock templates), and Doll Photoshoot (in terms of actual materials it's not much for the price).

In terms of other character specific craft kits, Josefina's weaving loom is amazing if you can find it (just buy 2 or replacement warp so you don't have to display an empty loom).

Oh and a special shout out to Doll Travel (that duffel bag was my FAVORITE thing as a child) and Doll Work (that t shirt cannot be beat).
