If a little princess doesn’t gouge out dolls’ eyes and doesn’t break their legs, but dresses them up in colored rags, tries to make them the most beautiful blouse and fluffy wedding dress with her own hands, she will grow up to be a wonderful, caring, loving mother.

Mothers who understand how to sew a dress for a doll know that they can be of varying complexity. Some models are easy for a five-year-old baby to use.

For this little pink dress, mom needs to make a simple pattern, which is a rectangle with a hole for the head in the middle. It’s so simple that after watching you do it once, your little one will be able to make a wardrobe for all her toys.

• On the sides you can make two buttons and air loops with your own hands. Let the young dressmaker work fine motor skills your little fingers.

• Blouses, skirts, ponchos made from small scraps of knitwear, gloves and clothing parts can be used by children's imagination to create the latest fashionable models.

• A tight dress made from a sock or golf can be obtained after cutting off the trace from it. The golf elastic will serve as a collar.

In order to make a new thing for a doll with our own hands, we will need fabric, a needle, thread, and a sewing machine.

• We take four sizes: waist circumference, chest circumference, bodice length and skirt length. For the top of the dress, cut out a rectangle with sides equal to the length of the bodice and a width equal to the volume of the chest, adding 0.5 cm on all sides.

• We cut out a rectangle for the skirt with a side equal to the length and a width approximately equal to three waist sizes or more, if you want fluffy dress, also adding to the seams.

• We sew two pieces of fabric around the perimeter with a zigzag seam. We turn up the edge of the top and bottom of the dress by 0.5 cm. We attach the bodice to the doll and outline the darts.

• We sew them on the machine. Let's try it on.

• Now you need to make your own skirt. Using a basting stitch, pull the top of the fabric down to your waist size.

• Secure the waist to the skirt with pins and stitch.

• Place the pieces right sides together, secure with pins and stitch.

• Sew two strips of Velcro and sew the bottom of the skirt.

• This is how the dress turned out. This universal style will allow you to make a lot of things with your own hands. different models: and narrow little black dress from Coco Chanel, and lush wedding dress brides

Now you know how to sew a floor-length dress for a doll. It is enough to increase the length and width of the skirt. After the main parts are cut and sewn, you can come up with various additions. For example:

• lace braid along the very edge of the hem;
• twisted gold belt at the waist;
• fur boa on the shoulders;
• bows on the skirt;
• bat sleeves, etc.

Sometimes the dolls look like real babies. You can make clothes for them with your own hands in the same way as for a child. Dress patterns are easy to find online. I'll tell you how to sew an original universal cap.

1. Measure a semicircle from temple to temple across the crown. Divide the result in half. This will be the length of the strip. Measure the circumference of your face - this will be its width.
2. Cut a strip of fabric, adding 2 cm in length.
3. Fold the fabric lengthwise on both sides twice and stitch.
4. Now you need to make your own ruffles. Sew them along the very edge of one side.
5. Insert the ribbons on both folded sides using a pin and pull tightly on the side where the ruffles are not sewn. That's it, the cap is ready.

This headdress is universal because it will fit any head size. You just need to loosen or tighten the ribbon near your face.

Almost every little girl loves to play with dolls and, of course, dress them up in different outfits. This master class on sewing a fluffy dress for a Barbie doll will help you please your princess. The dress that is proposed to be sewn consists of a top and a sun-type skirt, as well as a fluffy petticoat.

Dress for a doll with dimensions: 9 cm waist, 13 cm hips, 12.5 cm chest. The length of the dress will be about 18 cm from the top of the bodice to the bottom edge, it will be just below the knee. To do this you will need:

1. 40 cm by 24 cm tulle;
2. 25x30 cm crystalline or satin;
3. 2 cm Velcro;
4. 1 meter of bias tape;
5. elastic thread for a petticoat;
6. beads and ribbons for decoration;
7. threads according to the color of the material;
8. Velcro.

We take tulle, fold it in half, cut it, we get two strips 12 cm wide and 20 cm long.

We grind the edges of the tulle.

We trim the edge of the petticoat with bias tape; it holds its shape well. Before stitching, you can baste the binding so that it does not slip out when sewing, and the edge turns out neat.

Now, using an elastic thread, we make a fine assembly of the tulle. We tighten the elastic band - we get a fluffy petticoat.

Let's start sewing the top part of the dress. Making patterns for dolls is quite difficult, so we proceed as follows. We apply a 5 cm wide piece of crystalline to the doll’s bodice and secure the undercuts on the chest and back with pins.

Let's outline our workpiece. We wrap the edges of the two darts in the front on the chest and on the back, taking into account the overlap for Velcro. We will singe the lower edges of the bodice.

Let's sew all the seams and sew on Velcro. It's rare to find very thin Velcro, so we'll just cut the one we have. Instead of Velcro, you can use buttons.

On a larger piece of crystalline, draw a circle with soap about 28 cm in diameter and cut it out. Don't draw by hand, use a compass or centimeter.

We also cut out a circle in the center so that the doll can pass through. And we singe the edges, as the crystalline and satin are crumbling. The scorched edge turns out neat, so you can leave it without finishing. The dress will be airy and the edge will not be heavy.

We will make the belt from bias tape, baste it all together and stitch it down.

We decorate the belt with beads and satin ribbon. We alternate small beads with sticks. Sew on using thin fishing line. We sew the tape to the belt with small overlaps. Also, you could leave the edges of the ribbon long and make a bow at the back.

And here is the result of all the work. You can also, if there is material left, make a hat!

Thanks everyone! Good luck with everything!

I made my long-time wish come true - I sewed a dress with puffs and embroidery for the Paola Reina doll.

Studying the art of puff embroidery is still ahead of me. This time there was a test of the pen. It was a very hasty test - I wanted to see at least a small result as quickly as possible.)

I made the pattern for the dress following the example of master classes that I saw from other masters. You could take someone else’s free version or buy a paid one, but I wanted to make my own.

Several times I came across information on the Internet that a pattern can be made by wrapping a doll with tracing paper and masking tape. In the photos, in such articles, everything looked beautiful and uncomplicated. So one day, armed with a doll, narrow masking tape and tracing paper, I set about creating my designs.

I covered Carol's paper with tracing paper, which I covered with masking tape on top.

I didn’t get it as beautiful as I saw in the photos from other masters, but it was acceptable.

Then I drew lines for the front and back neckline, shoulder, armhole, waist and middle. You can make other lines as needed.

She carefully cut the tracing paper and removed the resulting pattern from the doll. You need to cut the parts of the workpiece very carefully so as not to scratch your pet’s body. Use sharp and thin scissors for this.

On the doll, I cut only along one line of the shoulder and side line, and cut the second line by removing the blank.

On the following photos I'm trying on a pattern with the neckline and armholes already cut out along the lines. I’m looking at how the planned neckline and armholes will look on the doll.

As you can see in the photo, I drew two versions of patterns at once. On the left is a more closed neckline, and on the right is a deeper one. I also made the armhole on the right a little differently than on the left.

The resulting parts of the patterns were cut in the middle of the body. Thus, I received two sets at once for creating different dresses.

I laid out the pattern on paper and traced it, drawing on the lines for clarity. I sewed this dress using it.

My conclusions about this method of creating a pattern:

• To wrap a doll with tracing paper and tape well, you still need some skill. That is, it may not work out neatly right away.
• When creating a pattern on paper, you need to take into account additives for a loose fit. When I sewed the first dress using my pattern, I forgot about such additives. The dress turned out to be a snug fit for the doll, but the lining was a bit tight. It will be uncomfortable for a child to play with such a dress.
• You need to correctly outline the shoulder line. This is also not so easy from the first stroke of a pencil. I think I will be adjusting my first pattern in this area as well.

Then I drew a collar along the neckline on paper, folding the front and back patterns with the shoulder seams.

The sleeve pattern was borrowed from Venus Dodge’s book “Sewing Clothes for Dolls”:

If you use patterns from this book, pay attention to the size of the seam allowances included in them by the author.

First fittings.

With sleeves. Such a narrow sleeve looks beautiful, but for the doll's splayed fingers it is too narrow in the cuff area.

Favorite photos of working moments. 🙂

The result was a dress like this.

There is a slit on the back that gives the dress a special charm. Instead of buttons there are beads, and the loops are made of thread using a buttonhole stitch.

Lace sewing. Especially suitable for this dress.

When I took the photo, I didn’t see that the dress needed to be adjusted on Liu. I'll replace the photos with better ones later. Next time I will show the same dress on a paulka with a body produced before 2015. This time the model will be Nora.

I looked at how to make the puffs themselves with embroidery and the order of sewing the details of the dress on the blog: http://poupeecouture.canalblog.com/archives/2013/01/16/26165697.html.

For a long time I have been studying the material available on the Internet about sewing dresses with puffs. This is not the last product from me with such a decorative element.

So Liu started thinking about what dress we would sew next. We need to dress up the rest of the girls.

With this dress I am participating in the “Spring Ball” competition, in Oksana Lifenko’s group https://vk.com/kasatkadolls?w=wall-95724412_5476. Join the competition. Oksana came up with some very tasty prizes.

I highly recommend the book “Sewing Clothes for Dolls” by Venus Dodge. I'll tell you about it in one of the following articles.

Update 02/17/2016:

Instead of tracing paper, you can use cling film. Next time I'll try to make a pattern using it.

From this article you will learn how to sew a dress for a Barbie doll with your own hands. This beautiful and original outfit will appeal to any girl who loves to dress up her toys. We have prepared for you step by step instructions And useful tips so that you can easily complete this craft. The article also contains a dress pattern for a doll, which you can simply print out to effectively continue your work. Let us immediately note that this master class is also suitable for novice craftsmen - the instructions are clear and quite easy to follow.

To sew this outfit, it is best to use a thick, durable fabric like brocade. This way, a homemade dress for a doll will look more beautiful on Barbie - you’ll get a real princess outfit. Velvet also looks beautiful. Another good option is satin fabric, however, it is more difficult to work with, and if you are a beginner, it is better to postpone this idea for the future and choose something else. However, you can use almost any fabric that you have on hand. With proper decor, a dress for a doll will still turn out very beautiful.

We will need:

• fabric for the base (about a meter);
• fabric for lining;
• strong threads for sewing;
• braid for finishing;
• pins;
• Velcro or zipper.

First you need to make a pattern. You might find it easier to just print it out and transfer it to fabric. The size of the dress pattern for the doll is 9x34 cm. Make the main part, collar, sleeves and hem.

The first thing we will do is process the collar. Cut out two identical parts. We make markings at a short distance in order to sew them together. The edge of one of the parts needs to be cut along the entire length to make the hem of the doll dress more beautiful. Sew the collar from the wrong side, leaving an opening for turning inside out. We need to make two such parts.

The pattern for the main part of the doll's dress must be cut twice - from the main fabric and from the lining fabric. Please note that in the front part of the future dress you need to make a small gather. This is necessary in order to outline the waist and leave more space for the chest. We sew the collar to the fabric for the outer part of the dress.

Sew the main and back parts of the dress. Please note that cuts are made at the throat hole, and this part is sewn together according to the same principle as the collar.

Let's make flounce sleeves. To do this, we use the pattern presented above. First, we assemble the main part with an accordion and fix it. We do this using the second part (rectangular). Then we straighten this part as in the second photo. Iron, make an outer hem and hem.

Sew the sleeves to the main part of the dress. This must be done manually from the wrong side.

All we have to do is make the hem of the doll's dress. To do this, you need to estimate Barbie's waist circumference and make an appropriate pattern. The easiest way is to draw a semicircle on paper. Its radius is equal to the desired hem length. We make a standard assembly and fix it with a rectangular piece (as we did with the sleeves - the principle is the same). We first sew the hem to the top of the dress, and then sew it along the seam. Let's leave a small hole so that the outfit can be easily put on the doll. We sew a small hidden zipper or Velcro into this hole.

Everything is ready - we have sewn an elegant and beautiful dress for a Barbie doll with your own hands. All we have to do is decorate it with a beautiful gold braid along the edges of the sleeves, collar and hem. You can add a decorative ribbon to the belt (it makes sense to do this if the seam around the waist doesn’t look very nice), embroider it with beads or sequins, etc.

Try making several of these dresses from different types fabrics, changing the length of the hem and sleeves and the pomp of the collar. Any girl will appreciate such a variety of wardrobe of her favorite doll.
