We sew clothes for dolls
So, how to sew clothes for dolls, is it difficult? Not at all - a little imagination and patience - and your Barbie will be irresistible and unique.
In order to sew clothes to your dolls yourself, you can not do without patterns. For them, you can use any paper, even newspaper. We also need threads, needles, different pieces, ribbons and even old socks will go to work!
You need to start with the simplest. For example, we sew a knitted dress to our fashionista-doll. This model is sewn very easily and quickly, and the knitwear sits very well on the figure of Barbie. To build a pattern, you need to remove from the doll the main dimensions: the hip circumference, the length from the shoulder to the desired length. Having these dimensions, we build a pattern.

Further on the fabric we cut out these two parts - the backrest and before. If there are no elastic bands on your flaps - it's not scary, just bend it and gently suture it. It remains to fold the two halves and sew them together. After - we turn to the front side.

To make the dress better, make a belt for it. At the back do not forget to sew a small piece of Velcro on the neckline, so that the dress can be conveniently removed and put on. That's all - a modest everyday dress is ready!
With the onset of autumn cold, it is appropriate to sew a doll for a coat . It is sewn quite simply. It is best for him to take a regular napkin for cleaning, we also need three long beads, threads and scissors.
First, make a pattern as in the picture. We cut out the same details on the fabric 4: the back of the coat will be solid, there will also be no seams on the shoulders and sleeves. Ahead there will be a cut in the middle. All the details are left to be folded together and stitched together. Beads fulfill the role of buttons, on the opposite side of the coat we make slits-loops. We bend the collar and iron it. The coat is ready!

Before sewing, we build a pattern as in the picture. Note that you need to cut out 2 pieces for the transfer, 2 for the backrest and 4 parts for the luxurious wave. Before you can do without a seam - cut out with a whole cloth.
When making seams, iron them immediately, because then it will be difficult to do. In addition, the edges of the details need to be swept, since the fabric is rather loose. Carefully iron the sewn out grooves before sewing in front and back of the dress, do not forget about Velcro on the back.
When all the details are sewn, sew the skirts of the shuttlecock to the bottom, which must first be attached. The bottom of the shuttle is sewn. Next, we begin to finish the dress with fluffy braid. That's ready for a beautiful evening dress for our fashionista Barbie.
As you can see, making clothes for the Barbie doll is not at all difficult. Applying all your imagination, you can please your child with a lot of beautiful outfits. By the way, you can wear not only Barbie, but also her companion - Ken.

Sewing clothes for a boy doll is also very easy and simple. The easiest option is to use an old unnecessary sock. From it you can sew a wonderful sports sweater.
To do this, the upper part of the sock should be cut to the very heel. The elastic will subsequently perform the role of a collar. You can cut out a sweater simply by attaching the doll to the toe. Sew the details of the sweater, if desired, you can decorate it with any embroidery.
