Love the dress
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😕
This is my first time on your channel. I love ❤️ how you explain every detail ❤ the dress 👗 is beautiful and I am it! Can’t wait to see what else you make. I am so into vintage doll clothes so classy!
Thank you so much! So glad you found my channel! ❤️❤️❤️ it’s funny how different the dolls look when you change their wigs and fashion. Like a whole new doll❤️
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
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!
I head for the children’s clothes for fine print wovens and stretch knits. I also check the patterns section for doll patterns. I found one once!
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.
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!
Thank you so much! Yes I am excited to make fashions for ALL the sizes! Thank you for being here!! 💜💜
Wow, you’ve got skills! 💖 Both iterations of the dress turned out super cute!
Thank you so much!
I’m so glad I found you!
Me too!! Welcome!!
Kid and baby clothes are great thrift store finds for smaller scale patterns 😀
Yes! Especially if you looking for something colorful! 🌈
@@MyStitchinDolliverse Christmas clothes and bedding (I’m not a sewer) are easy to find in baby kids section 😀 I just glue or use iron tape lol.
Love this thanks for showing the good and the other parts. More please
Absolutely! Thank you!
Love this!!❤
Thank you so much!!
Cute dress. I wish I had more time to sew. I only have weekends ATM and it isn't enough 😭
i’m using fabri from clothes i’m donating, i make quilts from scraps and clothes i’m donating….it saves a shopping trip and i like reusing, great video
That’s awesome!! Thank you for watching ♥️♥️
Hey! I do the samething use old clothing to make dolk clothes and children's clothing. Girl after my own heart.
I’m so glad to hear that! It’s such a wonderful available resource! Clothes!
i take a picture of the pattern cover and place in a sheet protector,i do put my pattern pieces in sandwich baggies
That’s perfect! Especially with doll pattern pieces, they can be small!
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.
That is a great tip! Thank you! 💜
Swedish tracing paper!
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!
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.
Where can we get these patterns please?
Etsy!! There are many vintage Barbie patterns and modern ones as well. You can download and print them!
I would have pressed that fabric first.
Yes! I usually use the steamer
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!
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. ❤️
