imakedollclothesPls to ignore that the coat and the dress don't really go together, it was that or BARBIE NUDITY.
I used this pattern mostly, but a bit different because I didn't really know what I was doing. It seems to be a bit like making a dress except the front is open rather than the back. Fabric is from an old dress that didn't fit me anymore.
The dress is made from awesome black-with-glitter-and-shiny-squares (technical name) which is a bit of a bitch to get a needle though but it's really pretty so probably worth the struggle.
What I learned:
- Coats should probably be lined with something, since you can see inside them when they're open.
- Sleeves don't need to be as huge as I feared, but they need to be wider than the doll's hand at least.
- Pretty much everything needs to be hemmed.
Not Sure About:
- What colour of thread to use for multicoloured things?
