You may want to try it on a scrap piece first. I've had to take a seam ripper and undo this before. Sew (right sides facing each other) the shirt to the skirt, being careful not to sew folds in to the material. Carefully pull one end of the thread, and gather the material evenly. BASTE (use the largest stitch on the sewing machine) across the top of the skirt. Prepare the skirt the same way you did the petticoat, except for the top fold. Once it looks straight, sew all the way around. Match up the top of the sleeve to the top of the shirt and sew it enough to hold it together. Take one of the sleeves, and sew lace to the bottom of it before sewing up the side. Sew the shoulders together, and the sides. Sew on a small piece of velcro to both sides, or use a hook clasp. Those edges will be turned inward, ironed, and sewn. The back piece needs to be cut in the middle so the doll's head can fit through. I were making a dress for me, I'd try to use it, but this is a doll, so just folding the neck a little, ironing it, and sewing it is enough. Normally, there is another piece to sew on called the yoke. Both sections will need to be sewn around the neck. Once the pieces are finished, notch the corners to keep it from gathering around the curves when you turn it inside out.įollow the pictures and the yellow boxes to help with this portion. Sew the head and body, leaving open two holes in the sides for the arms to fit in, and the bottom open. TIP: When rounding a corner, leave the needle of the sewing machine down, lift the foot, turn the fabric, lower the foot, and turn. Do the same for the other arm, and for the legs. (Whenever you see my pen pointing at the fabric, it means to sew that area.) Sew 2pieces of the arm to make one. Pin the pattern to the fabric, trace around the edges, and cut about 1/2 inch further out than the traced line. I suggest a lower thread-count fabric, since muslin makes it difficult to get the yarn/hair through. You will need about a yard of whatever color material you wish to use for the body. I made my own pattern using geometric shapes of rectangles, circles, and ovals.
