Let's Sew a 11.5" Doll Skirt Together using Simplicity 8865
มุมมอง 466ปีที่แล้ว
Hi! I'm using Simplicity 8865 and sewing View H in this video. If you love to sew for your 11.5" dolls, I hope you'll join me and find this video helpful. This is my first video and I appreciate any constructive feedback you can offer (please be gentle). Thanks for watching and if you find this useful, please like and subscribe. I will be posting more videos as soon as I can.
You make it look so much less scary. I'm hand sewing and it takes me alot longer and my stitches aren't as neat as a machine but you are giving me the confidence to really push myself
Thank you so much! I love that! I'm sure you're hand sewing is beautiful. It is truly an amazing skill to have.
I've been looking at this piece for a while. Just trying to choose fabrics....I think it would look good with a green velvet skirt and white top. Also, I trim the darts a bit after sewing so that there's less bulk.
Oh those colors and fabric combo sound fantastic! I also think the bodice can be fitted better. I followed the pattern as written and it seems to be a reprint from an older pattern. I definitely want to tweak some of these patterns for better fit/ construction of the garment.
Great job. I made the skirt as well as the bodysuit.
I have this pattern. I did what you're doing, taken the the bottoms of the overalls, added pockets and turned them into jeans. I also have made the little peaaant top, holy cow that was tricky! Ill have to do it again in order to get more practice with it. My next foray into the Barbie and Ken line is going to be some pants and jackets for Ken.
Yes, that's what I would love to do as well. I really enjoy sewing on such a small scale! It can be really tricky and it's so satisfying when you can accomplish it.
Ive got several pf the same patterns. I have a very old pattern (original so vintage) for Barbie/11.5 inch dolls from the early 70s. That McCalls pattern (M6258?) though....I dont know if yours is the same, but mine arrived missing an entire page or more of construction directions! I assumed it was just a one-off, so I reordered it, but the second one was exactly the same....meaning I have to figure out how to sew the patterns without instructions. I have quite a stash of patterns now, including a couple of books (which include the patterns for all the Barbie figure types) created by a French fashion designer for Barbie. I've also hunted down patterns for Ken too. (Especially since he has fewer clothing options than Barbie, lol) Also, this is a funny coincidence: that 6208 pattern has a name written on it...that's MY first name, haha!!
oh that's so unfortunate! Have you tried contacting customer service at Simplicity.com? They may be able to send you the full instructions. I would love to get a hold of that book! Some of the patterns are reprints from older ones, I think. I wish they would design and put more out!
@its_a_dolls_life Thank you, that's a great idea! I'll give that a try.(Not sure why I didn't think of that myself, haha)
Hi I love your videos are they are so helpful when im following the patterns to see someone doing it at the same time (although Im hand sewing) is there any chance you could do videos for A, K and D from simplicity 8865 please😊😊
Hi! Thank you so much. Yes, I'll put those on my list of next to do :)
I want you to make the black off the shoulder dress!
Ok, I'll put that on my list. I'll check to see if I have all of the supplies needed. Thanks for letting me know which one you'd like!
You do not understand how useful this is!! I have never been able to “visualize” how pants go together. Watching you make doll clothes I can see the entire piece! I also finally see how pants are top stitched! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your feedback. I truly appreciate it!
I just got mine online. Littlebit vintage but I can work with it. Thanx allot.
I like that now we can make cloths for our curvy's.
Yes! I'll make some more videos for them as well.
Beautiful. Thanx.❤
Thanks so much!
New subbie
Thank you!
Hi excellent job, I know its not easy to work this small items. So where can I get this pattern?
This pattern should still be available at Joann's or online at Simplicity.com. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll see if I can get one. Thanks for watching!
