    When I was a little girl I had a grandmother who would sew without a pattern for all the grandkids. When I became a mom years later, she would sew clothes for my little girl without a pattern. She also would do quilting. I still have the things she made for my little girl who is now a 45 year old woman. That kind of talent is a lost art and long gone....I found that talent in YOU!!!! Wow!!! I have always admired you, Miss Toya, as a doll crafter. I did not know you also sew to the nth as you do. Mattel- Are you listening???? You should definitely hire Miss Toya. Your sales would soar!!!!!! Be blessed, Toya.

      @@animalcrossingnerd8142 Hi. The only thing I can sew is Barbie doll clothes. I also buy my Barbie doll clothes from Etsy and Ebay. I find the vintage Barbie clothes I prefer for my Barbies. I don't mind pink but want a large selection.

      I am currently making Barbie clothes for my 8 year old Grand-daughter. Did a shoe box full for 2 Grand-daughter's years ago too for Christmas. As far as l know they still have them. I am also making for selling as well. Have 2 for sure ordering and one possible. Actually getting a table this year at our year doll show this year for the first time. I also make clothes for 14", 18" and baby doll clothes. Sewn, knitted and crocheted as well.

    If you wash the cotton first in hot water even by hand and let it dry, it will be slightly different afterwards. Might even be less stiff.
    These are great projects as usual!

    I love the DIY clothes, especially these no pattern ones. I have lots of 1/6th scale dolls that aren't Barbie, and they could use a little more fashion in their mini lives.

  • @Marialla.

    For people who need it as easy as possible, I recommend making these dresses from T-shirt fabric, which will not fray so it doesn't necessarily need hemming.
    For a more glam look they do sell knit fabrics at the store that have shimmery prints on them! Tulle would also be good for the overskirts, and often comes with wonderful designs.

    Simple but also super fancy!!
    I would’ve loooved to see one more dress cause these ideas were so cool like I thought if you did make one it goes down at the kneecap level and then has a shirt that goes almost all the way down so then it make a seventh look where it’s a mermaid dress!

    • @Marialla.
      @Marialla. 3 роки тому +1

      That's a great idea!
      It would work with an even hem, or an asymmetrical one. It would look good floor length, or shorter.
      You could even make something similar to put around the waist, to look like a peplum skirt!

    I love these tutorials. I needed this so I can make some Christmas dresses for a friend’s dolls she use for a diorama. A little tip for you; when you are hemming a circle use a basting stitch around the edge, then you can pull up the basting thread so you don’t get those little tucks.

    You make me laugh when you realize you skipped a step and growl at the fabric. That is totally me. I've done a few sock clothes for my Barbies; I have a petite and a curvy. I'm constantly underestimating the cloth, hence the petite girl has been the recipient of most of my projects. I am repurposing tee shirts and love working the jersey knit. I used some fuzzy socks and made a pajama/lounge set for petite girl. I have been acquiring several fat quarter patterns, but as of yet have not attempted any sewing. I like your idea of making a sheath dress and then adding separates to enhance the designs. You have lots of great ideas!

I now own a doll she owned and since there are no patterns to make clothes for her l have to design my own dresses for her. I have made her a outfit for each holiday including stocking since l can’t find the plastic heels she use to have.

    LOL Toya if you can do that so easily with scrap fabric and no pattern. Can you teach Mattel to do it too? You show that it's not that hard or that expensive to have great doll clothes. Those outfits are so much better than most of the Barbie fashions that have come out for the past few years, with a few exceptions. 😉

      @@Marialla. No, you're right Marialla. And I may complain about Mattel, but they're the company I mostly buy from. I just meant that if Toya can make stylish looking clothes like that so easily. Then I think Mattel could put out a few too. Even without the tailoring, they still could try a little harder to give us something pretty to buy. I just miss when you could buy the good looking fashions in a fashion pack from Mattel to dress the dolls in. I don't know your age, so you may not remember this. But Mattel used to make this fashions line called "Fashion Avenue" and they were pretty special looking. Kind of like Toya's dresses.💖
