Looking for 8 in doll pttrns (simliar to barbie) and other info..
Comments (1)Saw your notice - I, too, am looking for patterns for that size doll. Have looked in fabric shops and found none - don't want to pay $16.00 for a pattern anyhow. Do you think we could somehow buy a child's size pattern and have it printed smaller? There must be a way. Don't give up....See MoreWANTED: Strawberry Shortcake Doll Clothes Knitting Patterns
Comments (0)I am presently cleaning up my daughter's old SSC's and would like to find the patterns I had for knitting their clothing. They might have been in a Knitting World magazine but I have lost it. Even if I could find the name of the magazine, it would help. Thank you. Diana...See MoreKnit Doll Clothes

Comments (7)I have made lots of AM Girl doll clothes from patterns like Simplicity, McCall and Butterick. They have good directions and fit perfectly if you cut it out correctly. I try to use light weight woven's and light weight knit fabrics. The AM Girl doll clothes are no where near as hard as Barbie doll clothes because of the size of the doll. You can search the internet for doll zippers (I think its Tiny Zippers) and the fabrics stores have bags of tiny buttons. I buy the Velcro dots for making closures. If you buy the sticky ones you will want to also buy Sewers aid by Dritz. It makes your needle glide through the sticky back on the Velcro dot.. I usually just sew an X over the dot to hold it on. I sew on Velcro for the closures and a button on the outside of the garment with the Velcro right under so it looks like an actual button closure. I also use lots of snaps with the button sewn on the outside just like I do for the Velcro. I like to use as much detail as possible, I don't find hard to add lace or ribbons. I use felt and fleece on occasion, you don't have to finish the edges!! Have fun, start with something simple like a pair of pull on pants with elastic waist. I also bought a doll of my own so I would have it available to fit the clothes to as I am sewing (if you don't already have a doll handy.)...See MoreLars
