Dolls' Clothesby Jorgensen, Mette
Book description: Chudleigh, Devon: David Porteous Editions. Paperback. 1870586328 From the Foreword: Making your own dolls' clothes is fun, as well as being an inexpensive and creative hobby. It is also a good way to get to know your sewing machine, if you do not have much experience of working with it. This book includes patterns and instructions for sewing a complete wardrobe for dolls from 38cm (18 in) to 58cm (23in) tall. The patterns range from the simple to the more difficult, and there are suggestions on ways to vary the basic patterns. Every effort has been made to make each pattern as easy to stitch as possible, and zips, buttons and buttonholes are not used. The clothes can be made prettier or smarter depending on your choice of materials and colours. Remnants of material are ideal for sewing dolls' clothes, but it is not an expensive hobby even if you decide to buy special material. It is a good idea to look in curtain shops and craft shops, which often have off-cuts of beautiful and unusual fabrics. Otherwise, you can use any kind of remnants to work with - discarded tablecloths and bed linen, as well as curtains, clothes and so on. With only very little effort, the finished dolls' clothes can be made to look really exciting and "professional". Look in fabric and craft shops for fancy borders, trimmings, short lengths of lace, iron-on decorations and so on. The most exciting thing is to create something yourself, so use the patterns and the methods shown in the book as a starting point, and go on from there. I hope the book will give you ideas for many hours of creative work, for the enjoyment both of those doing the sewing and of those whose dolls receive their very own wardrobe. 94 pages. Your order will be on its way by the next business day! . Very Good. 1998.
