Gluing cloth

something else I've done fixing up my kids dolls is taking the new material, deliberately soaking about a 2cm thick line across the top, folding that under and ironing it, then glued that line to the doll/figure. same as Hnechmen said, just the process. hides the glue, makes a clean line of the clothing, and provides some rigidity for pleats and so on.

Cool! Thanks for the response

Hot glue would be a good solution, assuming you can do it neatly.

You can keep using superglue until the area you're gluing becomes so saturated/stiff that it finally sticks to the plastic. I've been doing that (ModPodge/superglue) with the cloth skirts on Clonetroopers, but I'm definitely looking for a better solution.

Thanks for the response! I'll check out your Troopers again too
