I love making doll's clothes Blush but don't get much opportunity (only have DS). I've done a few for birthday presents.

I think Baby Annabel is crying out for some cute baby-Boden/Debbie Bliss style outfits rather than her usual pink and white nylon making her look like a mini Barbara Cartland. Although you'd have to strike a balance between what the children and the buyers (mum/gran) might like.

Finding patterns might be interesting, I never found any in the right size for that big a doll and had to customise a real-baby preemie pattern.

I think it's a lovely idea. My mother used to knit me dolls clothes from premature baby patterns all the time.

Ooops, pressed post too soon. You could always use Etsy if you wanted to sell them.
