Loved this video! For a beginning sewer, you did a wonderful job. Just keep sewing. The experience will pay off. I've been sewing since I was 12 (I'm 57 now), and my first pattern was an Advance pattern for Barbie. This video made me want to get out my vintage Advance patterns and see what I can make. It's been a very long time since I have sewn anything from them.
I also own this Sew-Easy Advance pattern (the actual vintage one), but I haven't been brave enough to make any of these. So... WELL DONE, Jazz Hands! You mentioned how tricky it was to make the collar work on one of the dresses. I use a collar trick for small dolls' collars. If you search my channel for my Lottie doll's yellow dress with black collar, you can see what my trick is to make the collars on small doll dresses look nice. Loved your review, and I agree that your wedding dress turned out quite nice! The red polka dot dress is lovely too. Hard to believe it's your first time sewing!
Oh that’s great, that collar was awful for me. I actually had to make that dress like 4-6 times (I don’t remember how long and how many times it took now….) but I’m definitely going to check out your video. You should make the items from it! I’d love to see a professional do a great job with everything
That’s a really great video, very helpful for a faux collar! Looks like I’m going to be checking your other videos for more sewing tips and I get back into doll clothing 😊
Hey Jazz Hands, haven’t seen you in a while and this video popped up today while I was on UA-cam. These patterns look hard but you made it seem easy. I like how you picked out fabric that had the retro vide in the correct “scale” hope things are going well for you. Virtual Hugs from Salt Lake City! PS, Midge’s wig looks more like Doris Day. lol
Thanks I really tried to make them look like something that might have been around in the 60s. It wasn’t easy and I learned a lot lol. I’m still here, just busy with life. Will make new videos eventually.
I made doll clothes when I was a little girl in the 70s and 80s. I learned to sew when I was 7. I started making doll clothes about 10. Practice makes perfect. I give you an A for effort. At least you can see the basic shape and form of your outfits. You will get the hang of it the more you do it. Get a fabric called tulle it really makes skirts puff. It is a mesh like fabric.
Thanks for making samples. I have a different pattern package that includes the gown, the suit, nightgown, & peignoir. But the images didn’t cut it. I like how the nightgown (sans peignoir) looks when tied. It makes for a fun summer dress too! I’m motivated to try making those now.
You are too kind! I wish I had the time, energy, and space so I could do the other patterns. It’s a personal dream to see someone do a review of all the official Mattel patterns on UA-cam!
Hi again, I have one more tip for your sewing pleasure :) I've been sewing doll clothes for years Barbie clothes included, I finally discovered a slick way to cut out patterns with minimal distortion. You need a rotary cutting mat and a 28mm (a little smaller than a quarter) rotarty cutter. Scissors lift fabric as you cut, using a rotary cutter keeps the fabric flat at all times. It sure has made an enormous improvement in my sewing. Hope this helps :)
These patterns have great instructions. I used these to learn all the tips and tricks sewing for Barbie. The floral dress is stunning. You did a great job. Takes a lot of patience.
Great job! I'm a total amateur sewer. I've never made anything from an actual pattern, so seeing your first dress gives me hope! If do half as good as you, I'd call that a success!
Everyone is very self critical of their own work. I studied fashion design in University. I have a BA degree and I went on to design costumes for films and theatre. I’ve dressed movie stars illustrated for magazines and like you love the glamour of the early Barbie golden era from the late 50s and early to mid 60s and I have sewn countless costumes and pieces and I still criticise my work. But honestly the illustration on that pattern didn’t impress me of the wedding gown until I saw your gown. It was lovely. I also loved your color and fabric choices.
It took a long time to do this set, lol. Make sure you check the 100 subscriber thank you video, I show off some Victorian styles I practiced with. It’ll be awhile before I sew again, I had to move my sewing into my closet while I paint minis. I’m thinking of doing #thestripeychallenge, which is done by Karolina Zebrowska’s UA-cam channel. I kind of want to do a Barbie Victorian striped dress, but haven’t decided if I want to commit yet. It’s a lot of work sewing the fashions!
Boy, for someone who's never sewn before, you sure did an amazing job. I have been sewing for 52 years (although I only seriously got into Barbie clothes a couple of years ago) ...I had tried once before but the pattern was TERRIBLE -- which I didn't realise, I thought it was me, until I purchased OTHER patterns, which worked out well as I discovered that a decent pattern made a difference. Anyway I'm enjoying it now, and I'm really impressed with how well your clothes turned out!
I am glad you love it! I worked for two weeks straight on sewing and buying fabric that would work! I wanted to give vintage Barbie fans something they may not have seen before!
i’m new to this channel and I know this video is quite old but I wanna congratulate you on these gowns! I’m not good at sewing, but i can tell that you did a great job on these. They really look like official mattel dresses! In fact, I actually slightly prefer the bridal gown over the official 1959 version.
That’s very kind of you to say, they are unfinished but good enough for showcasing a fashion on a video! I wish I had time to do all the patterns and showcase them!
Great video!! You did a great job for your first time sewing. Satin is more difficult to sew. I love the cotton Bridal Gown! I wouldn't have thought it would turn out so pretty but it is!! That was a very clever idea! I may have to buy this pattern now & try it out too.I admire you taking on all of these different styles for your first time sewing. You really did a great job on all of them. I think I bought the same fabric as the one one you made with the collar. I bought it because it reminded me of the vintage On The Go Sheath. I love the brighter colors in that fabric. I think it looks really nice in the style you used to make it too. Lol, your cat is so cute!! I really loved this video, it makes me want to go sew now.
This was awesome .glad you went out your comfort zone of sawing and gave it a go ,they really look great ! Thoroughly enjoyed you bringing back another part of Barbies fashion releases of the past ...
Thank you! I tried really hard, I’m doing Victorian civil war outfits right now from an old vintage pattern, I’ll make a video when they are finally ready!
If you can sew one. A mesh underskirt would be perfect for that wedding dress and will puff it out even more. Great job with the outfits! They look professionally done.💖💖💖💖
I think you did a great job for the very first time sewing! I too am a very new sewer and I am getting ready to cut out my first Barbie dress pattern. I hope my efforts turn out as well as yours did.
The joy of sewing is to introduce your creative ideas onto the pattern or, if you choose, replicate the photos on the cover of the pattern. There are many Barbie vintage patterns on eBay including patterns for Ken.
I'm impressed! You did a great job! Really good idea to switch to white cotton fabric for the wedding dress, that satin fabric has a mind of it's own, even for the most accomplished sewers, one idea you can to is to get sheets of tissue (like wrapping tissue, $1 store), lay that down first, then lay your satin or slippery fabric on top of that and pin your pattern to fabric and tissue. The tissue keeps the fabric stable while cutting. Hope you keep sewing and sharing :)
Interesting, it keeps it from jumping around when you cut it? I need to try that. Besides doing my own vintage style designs, I like replicating the ones my grandmother made for my mom as they are “genuine 60s” (although I guess if I’m using vintage patterns mine count too!) but one of my favorite vintage ones my grandma did was a satin blue kimono. I will have to try tissue to see if I can get it to work, but don’t be surprised if you only see me working with cotton, lol. The one try I did with with satin was so frustrating! And yes, I will keep sewing and sharing! I want to do some Ken outfits next (one has an ascot, which is hilarious to me). I also have some skipper patterns I want to do, I love the idea of matching skipper and Barbie outfits!
You did a very good sewing job especially for someone inexperienced. Small doll clothes are more challenging than human sized patterns. I wanted to chat a couple of things. Satin- Very difficult to sew for everyone. Here's a few tips Firstly and MOST importantly is your NEEDLE blunt, bent or incorrect needles will ruin your finish for sure. Get some for Fine material when using Satin or flimsy stuff like Organza. SLIPPERY FABRICS I've found if I use tissue paper or even lunch wrap paper under and on top of the fabric it helps as it tears away easily after the row it stitched up. Also try using a Walking Foot this grips the material under the sewing foot and feeds both layers simultaneously. STITCH LENGTH I reduce my stitches to 2.5 and smaller for Barbie's clothes especially for curves.
I don’t want to do satin again for a long time! It was very frustrating trying to make something in that material! Thank you! I tried very hard on all the outfits, it was fun reading vintage directions and doing it!
@@JazzHands Yes It's not easy. Are you aware that to stop fraying on such like material you quickly run a lighter over the cut edge as you do with a ribbon to get it to melt a little and seal the material. it needs a wee bit of practise first though :)
A lighter as in one for smoking? I definitely can’t do that right now, I’m so clumsy I would burn down my condo! I generally have no issues doing a small hem, it just doesn’t look that great when I’m done lol
@@JazzHandsYes. LOL That kind of lighter or a candle. BTW I have the Vintage pattern DVD sold by Buggs It has the pale blue coat your mother/ grandmother made So you've inspired me to try as well. I've just put up my Barbie photos on Instagram, some are from the Vintage patterns DVD it's under Foxmill53 if you are interested at all :)
Definitely! I followed you back. I would love to see you do that coat, I planned on doing it but now I put my sewing machine away in favor of painting miniatures. Do the instructions have a liner included with it?
Oh my goodness you did such a great job! I just picked up two patterns and was searching for tutorial videos which is how I came across your channel. I hope mine turn out as well!
Mr Jazz Hands: I really enjoyed that. Thanks ever so much for sharing!!! You honestly did a super job sewing those Barbie clothes. I love the scale and colors you used. I don’t think I have seen any other Barbie pattern reviews like this on UA-cam. Very unique and so interesting. I have a few vintage Barbie patterns in my Etsy cart and I will definitely be adding this one. I’ve also found satin too difficult to work with and I much prefer cottons. I hope you will make more videos like this when you feel up to it. I’m watching this one again. Loved it!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m so glad you like it! That’s the dream, to make and show off each of the vintage patterns using appropriate vintage style fabrics. No room for my sewing machine in my small place though….
@@JazzHands My sewing area is just a corner of our “sitting room.” My sewing machine stays out all the time. Sewing and making are my sanity. I hope you’ll be able to figure something out because you have such a talent for the sewing and making the videos and I can tell you really love your Barbie family❤️❤️❤️ps my cats love to lay on fabric and get into trims and even pins so I have to be ever diligent to keep it safe for them. 😻😻little stinkers.
The flower one is just my personal favorite. If you like the wedding dress, just wait til you see the finished Victorian Civil War dress I’m working on!
These are amazing and might be the kick in the butt I needed to finally try to do this myself. Thanks for sharing your creations and telling us where you got the patterns. I'm new to your channel but I love your stuff :)
I think you did a fantastic job I've tried sewing for many years and I just can't do it overtime you will get better and better I like this video I hope you do more videos like this I find it very interesting
"North by Northwest" - is one of my favorite movies! The scene going up the driveway to the mansion is Old Westbury Gardens which is only 7 miles from me. Unfortunately the interior scenes were shot at a studio. It's a museum/park now -been there many times.
Ok... I have sewn a few things in my life, including some French Empire over the top curtains, but everything had normal seem allowances... I have tried these, but the tiny seems just suck into my machine!!! How in the world did you keep these from just sucking into the machine! They look great!!!!
You are really kind. For the really small stuff I think I used some tear away backing that gives you more space to make the tiny seams. Forget what it’s called, it’s like a sheet of thin foam that doesn’t get permanently stitched in. This is making me want to sew more stuff but I don’t have the space for it lol. I have a dream to make all the patterns and UA-cam videos for them…but funds and especially the space are the hardest reasons I can’t do it.
The photographers probably used a petticoat under the wedding dress to make the Bride dress photo look like it did. Or they could have just wrapped gift wrap paper around her to achieve that look.
Wow! You did an awesome job for your first time? Are you kidding us? It’s not easy to sew for Barbie and talk about teenie weenie! The white ribbon is perfect.♥️The red ribbon would be lost on that dress.. my opinion only! VERY VERY impressive Sir..! 5 Stars for you..⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I think you’re probably right about the white ribbon, I just worked with what I had! But yes, first time sewing and it was really hard and a lot of work. I really want to do more pattern reviews someday.
where on earth did you get that fabric which is almost like the vintage cloth (that one with the flowers) ? In Vienna or in Bologna or Milan I could not get anything like that!
You are not going to like this answer: I literally got it at Walmart! I bought a bunch of it because I couldn’t believe how close it was to the original fabric!
I don’t know of anywhere you can download it for free unfortunately. Some other sellers have it for a cheaper price but might be missing the instructions or the quality of the scan is poor. Sorry I can’t help you with a free version!
Loved this video! For a beginning sewer, you did a wonderful job. Just keep sewing. The experience will pay off.

Vince Nowell you should do it! I love seeing different interpretations!
Same here, Vince. I want to whip out my Advance pattern and try my hand at these patterns also!
I also own this Sew-Easy Advance pattern (the actual vintage one), but I haven't been brave enough to make any of these. So... WELL DONE, Jazz Hands!

I really enjoyed your sewing efforts,you're doing well for a new sewist😊
that orange number is amazing. very nice 😍
It wasn’t even fully lined….but glad you liked it! I love orange and love north by northwest

You are a perfect sewer ! Keep on 😊
I love this video. You did a beautiful job! Your dolls look amazing!
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
🥰💗 Love all outfits. U did a great job on their outfits. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching! It’s very complicated, I can’t believe children did this on their own! Lol!
you made these outfits really well.
Great job! I'm a total amateur sewer. I've never made anything from an actual pattern, so seeing your first dress gives me hope! If do half as good as you, I'd call that a success!
I hope it went well! Would love to see your work!
Great job!! I love these vintage patterns but I rarely dare to use them. It's nice seeing how they turn out in real life.
You should be so proud of your wonderful sewing. That wedding gown is so gorgeous.
Thanks! Maybe I can just see the flaws a little too clearly to be objective!

The joy of sewing is to introduce your creative ideas onto the pattern or, if you choose, replicate the photos on the cover of the pattern. There are many Barbie vintage patterns on eBay including patterns for Ken.
I’ve tried a few Ken ones but they just didn’t turn out as good as the Barbie ones. I am definitely not able to make changes to patterns
I love North by Northwest!! Love your beautiful creations!
You are too kind! They are very amateurish but I am happy with how they turned out!

You did a very good sewing job especially for someone inexperienced. Small doll clothes are more challenging than human sized patterns. I wanted to chat a couple of things.
Satin- Very difficult to sew for everyone. Here's a few tips Firstly and MOST importantly is your NEEDLE blunt, bent or incorrect needles will ruin your finish for sure. Get some for Fine material when using Satin or flimsy stuff like Organza. SLIPPERY FABRICS I've found if I use tissue paper or even lunch wrap paper under and on top of the fabric it helps as it tears away easily after the row it stitched up. Also try using a Walking Foot this grips the material under the sewing foot and feeds both layers simultaneously.
STITCH LENGTH I reduce my stitches to 2.5 and smaller for Barbie's clothes especially for curves.
I don’t want to do satin again for a long time! It was very frustrating trying to make something in that material!
Thank you! I tried very hard on all the outfits, it was fun reading vintage directions and doing it!
@@JazzHands Yes It's not easy. Are you aware that to stop fraying on such like material you quickly run a lighter over the cut edge as you do with a ribbon to get it to melt a little and seal the material. it needs a wee bit of practise first though :)
A lighter as in one for smoking? I definitely can’t do that right now, I’m so clumsy I would burn down my condo!
I generally have no issues doing a small hem, it just doesn’t look that great when I’m done lol
@@JazzHandsYes. LOL That kind of lighter or a candle.
BTW I have the Vintage pattern DVD sold by Buggs It has the pale blue coat your mother/ grandmother made So you've inspired me to try as well.

I think you’re probably right about the white ribbon, I just worked with what I had! But yes, first time sewing and it was really hard and a lot of work. I really want to do more pattern reviews someday.
where on earth did you get that fabric which is almost like the vintage cloth (that one with the flowers) ? In Vienna or in Bologna or Milan I could not get anything like that!
You are not going to like this answer: I literally got it at Walmart! I bought a bunch of it because I couldn’t believe how close it was to the original fabric!
@@JazzHands this surprises me. In Europe you wont' find antyting like these fabrics-
Nice work, is there a possibility to get these on PDF of JPG format?
The only way to do that would probably be to download them as pdf and convert them to a jpeg. Also, congrats you are my 100th subscriber!!!
@@JazzHands thank you very much! And I'm an amateur sewing too, I'm gonna try doing something! Keep your good work! Love your collection too!
@@JazzHands and do you know where I can download for free?
I don’t know of anywhere you can download it for free unfortunately. Some other sellers have it for a cheaper price but might be missing the instructions or the quality of the scan is poor. Sorry I can’t help you with a free version!
@@JazzHands it's ok, I'm gonna try sewing something on my own, I let you know! Thanks!
Nice job! Did you handsew or use a sewing machine?
Sewing machine! Hand sewing I am terrible and too slow at.
Do you sew by hand or sewing machine?
Sewing machine, no patience or skill for hand sewing
