Doll's clothes patterns?

2 replies

I would like to make some doll's clothes but I don't want to pay the £7 or so it costs for a pattern. I made a dress from a home made pattern but it was a hit and miss affair. I don't want to buy doll's clothes because I want to use up some of my old scraps of material. I've searched charity shops for ready made clothes to cut up and use as patterns, also for second-hand patterns, to no avail. Any ideas?

Library books?
Google?
What size is the doll?

When I've made clothes for Barbie-type dolls in the past they've been based on very simple oblong / tube shapes - no set-in sleeves or trousers - so not much need for a pattern at all.
If for Baby Annabel or similar, perhaps try patterns for real baby clothes?
