But as I got busy with my career, I no longer had the time. I recently came across a few of those garments and was amazed at how well I sewed. This is what prompted me to slow down and better finish my doll clothes! Most of the doll clothes you see are the kind of things I would wear for myself.april_n_parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548456156450662065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558646734577104063.post-13699801478589878092015-11-18T11:02:15.792-05:002015-11-18T11:02:15.792-05:00Olla wrote: Hello.

The sewing part is not that complicated. It's the planning of the stripes on the various pattern pieces. This is why I recommend working this out by making a toile where you plan the direction of the stripes first.
