How to sew a dress for a doll?

You can replenish the wardrobe of the doll in a specialized store with puppet clothing, or you can just become a designer and a seamstress for a while. In any house there are trimming fabrics, from which it is easy to make original outfits. We bring to your attention a master class "Dress for a doll". Consider several options - from the easiest to the option that requires a certain skill.

Casual dress for dolls

1. First, let's try to make a simple dress for a doll. You will need a cotton cloth and a ribbon. We make a pattern of paper in the form of a trapezoid, fold it twice and cut through the armholes. Then we transfer the pattern to the fabric and cut out two identical parts - front and back. We turn the material in the armhole area and stitch it.
2. Now we bend the neckline of the front part and sew a ribbon around the center with a few stitches. Next, we wrap the tape around the material so that it is inside, and make a line under it. It is important not to touch the tape so that it can be tightened. The same is done with the back of the dress.
3. It remains very little - to connect details along the lateral seams, to process the bottom, to sew around the circumference of the tape and tie the ribbons on the shoulders. To make such simple dresses for dolls own hands can even a little girl.

Elegant dress for dolls

1. Now consider how to sew a dress for a doll with a more complex model. Presented patterns can be adapted to the size of your doll, most importantly, do not forget that the patterns of dresses for dolls require a sufficient stock of fabric for the seams. We transfer the pattern to the material and cut out the details.
2. First we sew the bodice of the dress. We make a line on the shoulders, connecting before and two parts of the back. Further we bend the gate, it is possible to smooth it, so that it would be easier to stitch it.
3. Now we work with the sleeves. The biggest difficulty is cuffs. They need to be smoothed with the edges inward and make a bend in the middle, then wrap the cuffs of the edge of the sleeve, sweep and stitch it. Before sewing sleeves to the bodice, they must be prepared. We take on the thread details from above, so that wrinkles form and only then we sew. Sleeves like the flashlights turned out.
4. Next, make a side seam and go to the fastener, which will be on the back. We wrap the fabric, we sew and sew hooks or velcro.
5. The skirt of this dress does not involve any difficulties, it is enough to unite the seam from behind and process the bottom. If the circumference of the bodice is smaller than the circumference of the skirt at the time of sewing the top and bottom, it will be necessary to cut off excess fabric or evenly distribute the folds.

Festive dress for dolls

1. Particularly interesting and beautiful dresses for dolls are obtained by combining different fabrics. For the next model you need a fabric of three colors. We cut out the details shown on the photo - two stripes for the skirt (for the lower skirt the strip is wider), a strip for the belt, two details for the bodice.
2. First we sew a skirt. We put wide strips one on another and make a marking. After that we collect the skirt with small folds, so that it evenly turns out magnificent.
3. Let's make an interesting detail on the skirt, reminiscent of the dress of a princess - in the middle in the middle we collect the upper skirt on the thread and tighten it. Now process the top of the skirt. We smooth the belt in half, hide the edges and make a line.
4. For the bodice we take a piece cut out by a wave (on a pattern it is folded twice), we wrap it up with the same fragment repeating the same shape, we scribble. You can make straps using a string attached to the center of the neckline. It remains to come up behind the clasp and decorate, if desired, the dress with bows, flowers or beads.

In addition, you can make for your beloved doll shoes or tie other clothes.
