Doll Sewing Kit

$29.95

 

 

We have put together a sewing kit specifically made for dolls of any size. Included are several items that will assist in your doll clothing projects. Nearly a $30 value if purchased separately. Included in this kit are:

Pattern Size Chart - This is the perfect chart to have if you sew for modern or vintage dolls. Some of the measurements included are for chest, waist, hip, head, neck, arm length and foot. Most of the charts have measurements for the various size dolls (i.e., 17 and 23 inch Saucy Walkers). There are nearly 70 doll types listed! You will get eight pages of various dolls and one page that has blank charts for you to use for your own dolls that are not listed. You can copy this page at your will for as many as you need.
 
Woman's Day Patterns - A very unique set of patterns printed in 1956 by Woman's Day. This shows how you can make various sizes of doll clothing using the assembly-line method for selling at bazaars. The dolls featured are baby dolls (Betsy Wetsy, Tiny Tears, Dy-dee) in sizes 11", 13", 16" and 20"; miniature dolls (Ginny, Alexanderkins) in 7-1/2" to 8"; Girl Dolls (Toni, Betsy McCall, Sweet Sue, etc.) in sizes 14", 16", 19" and 21"; and Toddler Dolls (Saucy Walker, Bonnie Braids, etc.) in sizes 14", 17" and 23". There are 12 FULL SIZE PATTERNS in all! This is an invaluable item for anyone that sews for these popular dolls. It also states "Clothes will fit any doll of same general type 1/2" taller or shorter than sizes given."
  
Tips and Tricks for Sewing Doll Clothes - Here is an informational guide I have put together to help those sewing doll clothing. Included are 30 tips for making the construction of these small garments easier. I have gathered shortcuts I've learned in my 30+ years of sewing for dolls.

Resizing Instructions - Detailed instructions on how to resize a pattern to fit any doll.

 
1 Dozen Square Snaps - These are one of our most popular items. These are the same snaps that we have used for making our vintage reproduction doll clothing for the past 30 years, and have been very popular. They are very hard to find and not sold in stores. These are size 2/0.
 
Roll of Fusible Web Tape - We have been asked many times on where to locate this item. We just love, love, love it! It is used for applying delicate trims and lace with ease! You'll wonder how you ever did without it! 1/4" x 40 yards long - will last forever! Use instructions are included.

2 Doll Zippers - We are also including two small 2" white zippers that we had especially made for us.

 
1 Dozen Buttons - We are including one dozen of our multi-colored shank buttons perfect for doll clothes!
 
Fabric - I am also including 1/2 yard of small print fabric - my choice of color and design.  This will get you started on your next project!
