Important aspects of sewing dresses for dolls with your own hands

dress 1 When sewing for a doll, overlock is often not given importance. But this is also clothing and the edges can gradually fall apart. The child will be very upset. Therefore, it is better to sew a small product using the technique for an adult and be sure to process the edges of the product. It is important for a child that he can put on clothes independently. Otherwise, you will have to run up all the time and help dress up the doll. It is in the mother’s best interest to come up with the simplest and safest fasteners. Therefore, let’s put buttons and buttons aside, and give first place to Velcro fastening.

dress 3 The pattern for Barbie will be easier, since it will not require many sizes. It is enough to make small darts for the chest and make a bias for the length and width of the product. Particular attention should be paid to seam allowances. The products themselves turn out small and therefore the allowance can be a little intimidating in its size. There is nothing better than strong seams. For such seams you need an allowance of 0.5 cm.

Children really like simple models, for example, models made from an ordinary sock.Children can easily put these things on their dolls and will not require any help.

The most important thing that a mother needs to consider when creating clothes for a doll is that it should be safe for the baby. Therefore, things must meet the requirements:

Hypoallergenic - all fabrics and other materials that will be used to create the doll must be completely hypoallergenic.
Soft - this condition refers to rough textures that may interfere with play. For example, dense fabrics can ripple and it will be uncomfortable to hold the doll, much less change clothes.
Small details - if the child is small, then you should not mess with small decorations and all the threads should be strong and well hidden. Accordingly, no buttons, but well-sewn Velcro.
In size - any item for a doll must match the size. The girl won't like one that she can hardly pull on because her mom didn't allow enough seam allowance. Or the product is so large that it constantly falls off and instead of playing, the girl has to put an outfit on the doll from time to time.
