Wow....it only took me 4 years to get my stuff together... LOL! I am currently in LOVE with the Curvy Barbie doll. I have had my beautiful blonde since they came out, but didn't have the time to concentrate on her. But now I do, as well as her big sister, 17 inch Dreamtopia Endless Hair Barbie, and her even bigger sister, 28 inch Best Fashion Friend doll. Free patterns are coming for all of them, just be patient with me. I have to draft them up, test them, redraw them (if necessary) and re-test them, until they are perfect! I will offer patterns of various difficulties, from beginner to advanced, but unfortunately, they will not have assembly instructions. Having made clothes for myself (a plus sized lady), I can relate to Curvy Barbie's beautiful shape. Here are the patterns.... And here are what they look all stitched up.... this is the strapless bodice sewn to the fitted skirt this is the basic bodice and the fitted capris the undies! Look out Vic's Secret! Yes.....the clothes are pinned on (I'm so lazy!). I would love to see your results using my patterns. I'm a newbie to blogging, so I'm not sure how to do that. I would also like to know what you all would like in patterns. I guess you can let me know in the comments section :) I hope you enjoy sewing for Curvy Barbie! Stacy
Last year, we made this play kitchen for Nova’s big gift and it’s honestly the only gift that has been played with EVERY DAY all year long. I also learned how meaningful it is (for me!) to spend months planning and working on a special project to give our children for Christmas. This year, we’ve…

I have been in a "too much doll stuff, gotta get rid of some of it" mode for the last few weeks (this seems to always strike when winter daylight is at its lowest...) A result of this is that I have been digging out dolls I've wanted to do more things with, and...doing things. Like sewing. I started with making this coat which uses a pattern I derived over 20 years ago by scanning the pattern layout pieces from a human-size pattern. The version I used for this was a noticeably big for standard fashion dolls--after I made it, I remembered that this version was meant for bulkier female action figures, probably resized and printed somewhere around 2001. There were older, smaller-sized pattern pieces in the envelope, so I used those...sorta...as the base for this coat Because I was working with a limited amount of the minky for the front (thanks to PhantasmCreations for sharing that minky in a craft destash), I omitted the facings and any semblance of a collar and, while it turned out mostly better than I expected, the sleeves were undeniably too short. Now...because I am that kind of person, I sill had a copy of the female action figure-size pattern scan on my hard drive, so I imported that into Inkscape and resized it to match the smaller version and added length to the sleeve pattern piece and worked that into a shareable pattern. Here are the sample coats I made--unlined made from common quilting-weight cotton calico and lined made from fine wale corduroy and a printed lining fabric (that came from a previous PhantasmCreations destash. The corduroy might have as well--I know it was a gift from someone, but I absolutely cannot remember who! Thank you, whoever you are.) The sleeves are large enough for long-sleeved shirts to easily fit inside, and of course they have pockets (although those pockets are optional, because I understand how and why the idea of sewing Very Small Pockets may be off-putting for some people.) Here are the pattern pieces You should be able to right click and save these at the correct size--the 1" and 1cm lines are there to double-check the printed size. Remember to *not* fit these to the page when printing! And now my excessively rambly instructions--these are written from my experience sewing this coat over the last few decades. I don't know if I ever looked at the original pattern instructions. There are definitely things that I didn't figure out for a long, long time. Again, right click and save should get you the full-size images. The instructions for sewing the unlined version are separated from the instructions for sewing the lined version. There are a lot of construction steps that are the same, but I felt like it was only getting muddled and confusing when I originally tried to present them simultaneously, so repetition it is. Which means there's not really as much here as it might seem! And the last page is "Tips, Tricks, & Suggestions," so it's entirely possible to sew without looking at that. (And if you've sewn things like this before, of course you can probably figure out what to do without my instructions at all, of course.) And so I get one more fashion doll sewing pattern ready to share--there are plenty more waiting!
