Making 18" doll clothes


I'm tired of doing quilt block swaps for a bit, so at this time I'm taking a break from doing any other sewing and making a dress or two for an 18" doll, Felicity from the American Girl collection. This is for me, and I've found something to do with it/them when I get it done and out of my system.

Does anyone else sew doll clothes? I mean, not too much fabric, and not too expensive if you want to emblish it - not like real people clothing.

Sounds like a lot of fun - do you think they'd even be sellable?

*knows very little about sewing and even less about dolls*

Firle -
they might be saleable, but using a commercial pattern and selling is called manufacturing and could get you a lawsuit if Simplicity, McCall's, Vogue, Butterrick decide to. I do have some from other sources that I could e-bay or something like that, and I can create my own pattern, which I may be doing shortly for the selling of the outfits.

The others may be more modern.

Re: Making 18" doll clothes


I love to sew.

I have made a few witchy outfits for some little cheap dolls I bought, just on a trail and make kind of deal, and I think they came out cute. I made besoms to go with the outfit also.

Hi LadyMoonKist -
Your doll clothes sound neat. You know there are dolls that are 'copy' dolls of the 18" American Girl dolls.

You might consider getting one of them (about $14) and using it for a dress dummy and then selling some of those 'witchy/pagan' outfits on e-bay or etsy. There must be Pagan's that want their children to have presents for Yule.

Neat idea, Fenyx!!

LadyMoonkist, the outfits sound really cute. And I think maybe Fenyx is on to something. With Yule right on us here, you may be able to sell quite a few outfits. Could maybe even post a link to where they can purchase the dolls or something.....

I wish I could sew better than I do. Fenxy (who is my cousin, by the way), has always had a knack for sewing....and she does an awesome job of it! One of my favorite pieces of clothing (it's not really clothing, persey) is the cape she made for me a few years ago. It's my winter cloak when I dress up to go out somewhere. Dang thing is WARM! There's a pic of it in here somewhere.

Fenyx..how'r the doll clothes coming, by the way???
