Where can one get their hands on Patterns for tinies?

Hi Sarkitty......I feel your cry I have struggled myself with patterns/ideas for my tinies. I think I have finally acheived the flow of creative juices though. I started out by picking up a couple of "Kelly" outfits for cheap on Ebay then taking them apart and using the pieces for patterns. The"Kelly" outfits fit Puki's great other then adding a bit of length to the skirts and pants........Whalaw Ebay has LOTS of different styles to choose from too.

 

This is such a great idea! I've been looking for patterns for my MinoruWorld Junior(as their size makes it hard enough to find clothing), but it's been unreasonably difficult to find. I'll try this though! Even though I have to up-size it to fit her

 

You can get patterns for Kelly dolls on ebay and probably elsewhere. They don't fit quite right -- all the Kelly patterns I have are too loose in the bodice for even the Kelly doll, but you can adjust the pattern a little to improve the fit.
The MinoruWorld dolls are about the same chest, waist and hip measurements as some vinyl dolls, such as Helen Kish's Bethany or Tonner's 10" Ann Estelle. There are lots of patterns for these dolls on ebay, and all you would really need to do is add length for arms and legs. Oh, and again, tweak the pattern for fit. I'm never satisfied with the original fit and always have to improve on it.

 

This website has an entire wardrobe for a Dawn sized doll-about the same size as tinybear's Moona. The best part is that it has all the pattern pieces you need to create what you want. I printed them regular size and then used paper towels to practice with until I got a pattern that fit my Coco. Then I copied my pattern to poster board so I had a more permanent pattern.

Latidoll has a few patterns for the white and yellow size on their site. Here's a t-shirt in Latiwhite size:

trouble is there are so many different size of tiny
if you Google Blythe pattern there are loads these fit my large Moona , PpoPpo , Riz
Barbie patterns fit another
Kish patterns fit my coco and bonbon , elfdoll hana customhouse etc etc
Lati fit some blythe too
some Kelly /shelly barbie patterns fit Puki/ lati white

and there is a doll ..that escapes me now her patterns fit Lati green /.yo
Bluette fit some others

there are also the Dolly Dolly magazines from Japan ..these have tons of patterns for Blythe , Betsy , ..all can be adapted

Im doing a pattern book for my BonBon . Moona ..these will also fit Lati yellow ..and Blythe and others ..but its only half done

its a real pain to track done patterns ..but ther are there ans sometimes you have to alter them slightly .

 

Perhaps you are thinking of LeeAnn by Denis Bastien of Affordable Designs?

 

thats the one sweetie !

 

I have several patterns I made for the 10" Ann Estelle doll years ago, and they work for several of the tinies..Lati green, CH Petite Ai, Leeke, Yo, Little Fee, etc with a bit of adjusting for some (mainly length of skirts, sleeves and pant legs).
If anyone wants copies, just pm me your email addy.

 

There is a pattern for a 4.5" Kishlet doll that fits my Lati Sp White Belle perfectly on Ebay. It would probably fit Pukis pretty well also.
