| Publisher Description: Create a carry-along doll clothing closet from PVC pipe for storing your doll's favorite outfits, complete with extra space to stash shoes, hats, purses and other favorite accessories This full-color, soft-cover pattern book includes instructions for building a lightweight, easy-to-carry, free-standing closet from PVC pipe. The 18-inch hanging rod provides ample room to hang several outfits using doll-sized hangers that fit a 1/2-inch rod. Instructions are also included to adapt the frame to fit hangers requiring a slightly smaller rod diameter by substituting CPVC pipe for the hanging rod. In addition to the closet frame, instructions include pattern pieces and step-by-step photos to guide the confident beginning sewist through construction of the fabric caddy at the base of the closet. Options include a separate base insert to lend stability, as well as a sewn-in, "invisible" version for the more advanced sewist. Also included are optional dividers attached with hook-and-loop tape. Make as few or as many dividers as you wish and rearrange them in whatever manner works best to organize all of your doll's essentials Matilda's Closet Caddy would make a handy display tool for craft fairs and trade shows, as well as a great gift for the doll-lovers in your life Supplies Needed: CADDY FRAME: - Two 10-foot Schedule 40 rigid 1/2-inch PVC pipes (cut pieces total approximately 16 feet, not accounting for waste). - PVC 1/2-inch fittings (slip): four 3-ways*, six 4-ways*, 8 elbows (45 ), 2 elbows (90 ) - Optional CPVC hanger rod substitution (for smaller size hangers): 12 3/4 inches almond color CPVC CTS 1/2-inch pipe, two 3/4 1/2-inch CPVC reducing coupler fittings - Optional: sandpaper (medium and fine grit), spray paint for plastic, contact cement CADDY: - 2/3 yard main fabric (cotton, lightweight denim, cotton duck, lightweight canvas) for caddy exterior - 2/3 to 1 1/3 yards fabric (cotton, lightweight denim, cotton duck, lightweight canvas) for lining and optional caddy dividers - For optional caddy dividers: 40 inches of 3/4-inch hook-and-loop tape - For optional base insert: chipboard, cardboard or 1/8-inch plywood (approximately 12 16 inches) - Thread TOOLS: - Small handheld PVC pipe cutter, hacksaw or miter saw - Measuring tape or yardstick - Pliers - Sewing machine - Rubber mallet - T-square - Box cutter or X-ACTO knife - Self-healing mat * These sometimes hard-to-find PVC project supplies are available directly from Club Matilda Finished Dimensions: Base Caddy: 18 in. long x 9 1/4 inches wide x 6 inches tall Overall: 18 inches long x 9 1/4 inches wide x 18 1/2 inches tall |
