Do you make clothes for your doll?

I mostly have been buying because as much as it hurts the wallet, the clothes are so cute. but I have a few simple little nighties and dresses I plan on making for my girlie

 

I sew all of my dolls' clothes, to me it's one of the best parts of this hobby ^_^

 

I almost only make clothes for my dolls. This was the biggest reason I got into the hobby. I only have 3 outfits I have purchased for them. I'm going to start making shoes for them now. Considering I design shoes for a living you would think I would have done this years ago. Ha, ha.

 

I've made clothes for both mine and my partner's dolls. I'm a beginner seamster so I do buy things if it's something I really like.

 

I started sewing for my dolls (non-bjd) to develop more skills for sewing my own clothes. It sort of worked - I do sew for myself on occasion, but I spend a lot of my free time sewing for the army of dolls! In fact, it's gotten worse since I started collecting BJDs, because I see so many gorgeous outfits for them that are out of my price range, but serve as inspiration.

 

I bought an outfit for my doll so that he doesn't sit around naked, but I am planning to sew stuff for him ^ - ^
I am super excited!!!

 

I sew for my BJDs. It's too expensive to buy clothes online. The only thing I do buy is the shoes and wigs. I need to learn how to make wigs. But going back on subject I like sewing for my dollies it gives me experience on drafting patterns for myself! Besides I'm better at sewing for them at a smaller scale then a 1:1 aka human sized scale. There's just something with the finer detail in dolly clothing that I can do better than making it for myself.

 

You are so lucky! I like sewing but I do it not quete well

 

Thanks, but my skills are far from perfect either, even with a lot of practice over the years, I still have a lot to learn!

 

Yes I do.
More so right now since I'm in the process of saving for another doll currently so I don't have as much dollie spending money. Plus I have a wal-mart bag full of fabrics I've pulled from my personal stash to use for things for Calli, so I might as well start using it up.

 

Do you have thread with your clothes?

 

You mean, like tumblr or something? not yet, for now I just have a flickr gallery.

I do! Aside from being kind of expensive, my girl is a Resinsoul Yu and her proportions are a bit...different. Too short for one size, too tall for another... so I figured why not sew them myself? They're nowhere near perfect but hey. Two hobbies with one stone.

 

I have bins and bins and bins of fabric and trims and laces and ribbons, and................ and need to get started.

 

I'm in the same boat. I've made a couple of things, but I already sold them all. I have so many plans but no time!

 

Yep they dont wear them all the time but if i cant find what i want to buy i usually just make it. I like buying and making

 

ahh ha ha! same here

 

It's hard for me to find doll clothes online that I like, and even then, there's a good chance it won't fit over my doll's big bust. I make clothes for my dolls because I can fit them properly, and can also use whatever material I'd like best. I bought myself a sewing machine when I began to sew for BJDs, and although I have no previous sewing experience, it's going OK and I'm improving every time I try. Also planning to have a go at making wefts with the machine sometime soon

 

Well, my SID girl hasn't arrived yet, but I've bought sooo many different yarn for knitting already! And still feel like I need more and more Really hard to stop.

 

Sewing is so hard, I cant even put string through a needle without asking google how to do it
