Love the dress

@169esmeralda Месяц назад

I find that men’s shirts at the thrift store are a great source. Lots of tiny dots and stripes. I sew for Tonner dolls and a great source of patterns is Designs by Jude. She has videos that show step by step on how to sew these patterns. She also has Barbie patterns on her website

@MyStitchinDolliverse Месяц назад

Yes! Tamara Casey is great with designs by Jude! So many beautiful patterns. Yes, there are a plethora of men’s shirts at the thrift store, plus you can find some really high quality fabrics for a good deal!

That’s a really good idea going to a thrift store to get cool fabric.

That binder is A great idea, AND shopping for fabric at thrift stores. Our fabric store closed long ago😕

Kid and baby clothes are great thrift store finds for smaller scale patterns 😀

Yes! Especially if you looking for something colorful! 🌈

Wow! I'm a fashion designer I worked many years for Disney World making costumes and Im making dolls clothes but I only use Lycra is more complicated and you have to use velcro for Lycra snaps doesn't work. Thank you are making really good clothes.

@MyStitchinDolliverse Год назад

Awesome! I used to make costumes for circus performers. Lycra can be difficult for sure! Thank you for watching and the kind words❤️❤️❤️

I love the darts you added! I have this pattern so I’m going to give it a try! The dress will fit your vintage Barbie differently too. I would love to see this dress made for her! I’m really enjoying your videos!

Hey! I do the samething use old clothing to make dolk clothes and children's clothing. Girl after my own heart.

@MyStitchinDolliverse 9 месяцев назад

I’m so glad to hear that! It’s such a wonderful available resource! Clothes!

@lauraburdett8932 11 месяцев назад

Trace your patterns onto a thin stabilizer. Then you will never have to cut your patterns, and your patterns will last longer since they aren't paper.

@MyStitchinDolliverse 11 месяцев назад

That is a great tip! Thank you! 💜

@169esmeralda Месяц назад

Swedish tracing paper!

@Kate98755 Год назад

i take a picture of the pattern cover and place in a sheet protector,i do put my pattern pieces in sandwich baggies

@MyStitchinDolliverse Год назад

That’s perfect! Especially with doll pattern pieces, they can be small!

@robinsydney140 Год назад

Thank you for your tutorial! Since you mentioned that black fabric will dye the body of the Barbie doll, do you happen to know what kind of black fabric will not stain the doll? (I've seen new Barbies with black dresses on that don't have the plastic protection). Thank you!

@MyStitchinDolliverse Год назад

Right I have seen black T-shirts and what not on fashionistas. The dolls that really stain are the silkstone dolls which is a different material of plastic. Also the vintage Barbies that have more rubber legs will also absorb the black dye.

@myloveylove123 7 месяцев назад

Where can we get these patterns please?

@MyStitchinDolliverse 7 месяцев назад

Etsy!! There are many vintage Barbie patterns and modern ones as well. You can download and print them!

@bubbles2868 7 месяцев назад

I would have pressed that fabric first.

@MyStitchinDolliverse 7 месяцев назад

Yes! I usually use the steamer

@lusqua72 Год назад

what drives me crazy of those vintage patterns, is i cannot totally trust them, they do not fit perfectly as i like on my vintage 60s doll, maybe they work good only with simple cotton or people at the time were happy with a so-so fitting... i end up doing lot of extra work to adjust them. I do not have enough patience for a second identical one!

@MyStitchinDolliverse Год назад

It’s true I know exactly what you mean that’s why I don’t use the patterns that often I’d rather just drape the garment on the doll. There’s also this whole thing with weight of fabric and the drape that it has. It contributes to the stiffness and how well it fits or not. The patterns are more for mommy made garments for a little kids back in the day. ❤️
