We added another fun camp this year, but it starts on Wednesday! Our new 18″ doll clothing class has been something I have been playing with patterns for a while. It’s a great scale size for doll clothing; it’s easier to make this clothing than Barbie Doll sizes. Everything keeps getting smaller, making this class a perfect choice for students to creatively explore.
Doll clothing can be a great way to release your fashion style, make a simple garment, or jazz it up with the provided trims. I will have laces, fringe, cording, bias, piping, etc., available for the students to design (remember, fewer items might be made if the student gets into the designing process, which is also a great learning experience and should never be rushed). This 18″ class will foster creativity and attention to detail.
Clothing types
Students will choose from a list of garments to create and reply with the selected makes. Then we will make sure students will receive our patterns and instructions. Please reply to the email confirmation with the attachment as soon as possible so I can draft a custom set of clothing patterns just for the designer!
This will also teach your child basic pattern reading and correctly placing the pattern piece on the fabric, a skill essential when crafting 18″ doll clothing that will translate across all sewing styles and projects.
Final Looks
Final looks: here are a few actual samples (no trims). This is the base shape for students to sew and embellish. Join us as we prepare for the exciting final showcase of projects from this 18″ doll clothing class.
