It's no secret that making doll clothes can be fun, but there are a few things that you need to know about how to make doll clothes. Follow these simple steps and you'll be amazed at how easy it is!
If you want to make simple steps, then start with the basic doll costume. This costume consists of clothing such as a dress, jacket, skirt, top, headband, and other accessories. For this outfit, the only thing you have to make are the doll clothes, so that is what you'll focus on first.
The other accessories are really not necessary. Just as the majority of humans wear the same outfit for every event, so will the little ones. You will need only basic clothes that can be sewn together in order to make them look a bit more realistic.
It's all about basic dresses and simple dresses are very easy to sew. A skirt is a good idea. The headband is helpful if they have a hat and you can see the eyes and hairline clearly from the front.
A basic skirt can be easily constructed with two layers of sheer fabric. For extra fun, give the skirts a frill at the top. If you are too busy, you can do a simple hem that is barely noticeable.
The next step is to attach the fabric to the body of the basic skirt. A simple elastic or sew-on material will work great. The waistband will need to be doubled in length and folded into place.
A simple headband is always nice to add to a skirt. Simple plastic filled headbands are nice and easy to sew.
The next step is to sew a seam down the chest. While it is important to leave room for the chest to expand later, a seam will help the seams stay together. Make sure to leave a few inches around the seam to add for safety. After the seam is finished, trim the fabric for shape and style.
Now it's time to join the back and arms. If the chest is of the same color as the skirt, the skirt can be placed directly on top of the chest. If it is not, add a topstitch around the edge and sew down the middle.
Finally, attach the doll coat. With two layers of sheer fabric, create a tube that fits snugly over the chest and arms. Add the pillow collar and a button in the back.
Using basic materials and following the steps above, you can make a doll coat. How to make doll clothes should be fun and rewarding. Start today and enjoy the journey.
