Since I've bought a couple of jointed dolls, I instantly subscribe. I meant, before, it was because I'm interested. Loved your video coz it's so straight to the point.
Very nicely done! I would also mention to new sewers to notice that you always make sure to sink your needle before lifting the foot & moving fabrics. 😊
Very good advice thank you and I love the comment below, yes, please leave the needle in before lifting the pressure foot, the amount of times I have lifted the foot and the needle was out and everything just moves and I had to restart. Frustrations, I'm glad that you mentioned that the sewing machine can eat the fabric, which is what I'm currently facing, I think my sewing machine is hangry or something because the moment I try sewing dolls clothes, it just sucks in my pretty, delicate fabric and then it's ruined so I've taken a break from sewing dolls clothes until I can get a brand new Singer Stylist 9960 but man they're expensive. Sorry for rambling, I went down the rabbit hole. Thanks for the tips and tricks. FYI, I'm getting a smart doll soon, heeheehee, I'm super excited you have no idea.
I've been sewing barbie clothes for 20 years (self taught) and have never been able to master sleeves. Who knew it was me pinning it that was always the problem. Practiced quite a few times to get it right via your method, I'll need to do it much more to get it down without fault, I can at least get a sleeve in finally without puckering! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I'm used to sewing a 1/8" seam with my brother straight foot w/ a clear window...but ordered a narrow straight foot as well now. :-)
Yay! I'm so glad this was helpful! And yes, pinning is my nightmare with tiny things haha. I always just manually feed most things without pins now. It's so much easier to see what's going on
Yep, I've officially started following you. Lol. Hopefully this will motivate me to work on my stack of fabric that I have patterns all printed out for.
Ahhh thank you so much! And yesss you def should!!! I plan to do a sew along video with a dress or something, but I haven't decided what yet haha. Either something from Hanons book or from a creator online!
Can you make a video on sewing machine settings such as stitch length, width etc. And also sewing with stretch or knit fabric on a regular sewing machine. Love your videos, thanks so much!
Thanks! Even though I've been sewing for a long time I've never sewn small as Blythe clothing! And what I have sewn for dolls has been by hand for the most part. I have a Bernina 930 (1980s) and I have a few bjds and other dolls, most under 16 inches tall. I might have to give machine sewing a try! Thanks for the vid, good closeups, what device did you use for the shoot?
Your videos are super helpful!!! Thank you so much for doing them, I can't wait to see more!♥ I found your channel while looking for videos of people sewing clothes for bjd with lining to prevent staining. So if you could show the process once again(kimono tutorial was pretty helpful too!!) I would be beyond grateful! Also your cat is adorable!!
Great tutorial! Have you ever tried using fabric glue for making small sewing projects? I'm working at 1/12 scale and am a little intimidated working on sleeves!
I do it the same with with a gathered sleeve! I would sugest after gathering the sleeve that you iron down the gathers just so it's a little easier to work with. It's a little hard to explain without a visual, but I'm planning on doing a start to finish dress tutorial video in the next few weeks, and I'll make sure to choose something with gathered sleeves so then you can see how I do it!
Ah this is just what I needed. Trying to get into sewing teeny tiny 1/6 scale clothes for 'action figures' (they're dolls. With guns.) and I was about to lose my mind trying to sew sleeves that small onto the clothes.
Thank you so much!! The dress form is one of the Blythe "Display Me" stands! It comes in cream, black, blue, and pink (I think!). You can usually find them on Yahoo! Japan auctions, and sometimes eBay
It really depends what kind of sewing you're going to do! I personally don't like hand sewing because I'm very impatient, but a lot of people love hand sewing!
Oh yes of course! Tbh, it's probably a lot easier haha! Personally, I'm very impatient and don't like hand sewing anything (I've been trying to figure out a way to avoid hand sewing my snaps on for yearsssss), but you can very easily hand sew dolly clothes, lots of people do actually!
LOL!!!!! It's funny because I used to think I had really tiny fingers until I became a wedding photographer. Over the past 11+ years I've photographed so many wedding bands and legit 90% of them would not fit on my pinky! Now I'm convinced I have giant sausage fingers LOL
Brilliant! I've sewn with a Bernina 930 for 34 years now. Best machine ever!
Yes!! I love it so much! I have two of them now LOL

Thank you so much for subscribing and liking my video!!!
Very nicely done! I would also mention to new sewers to notice that you always make sure to sink your needle before lifting the foot & moving fabrics. 😊
Thank you so much!!! And yes that's def a good thing to mention! I'll for sure mention it in my next video
Ive never seen someone doing it without pins! Super helpful ❤️ (and give us more 😘)
Yay!!! I’m so glad it helped!!! It’s so much easier for me without pins hahaha, like the first time I did it I was shocked that it worked LOL
I'm glad you mentioned the name of your machine.
It's a great machine!!! I bought it second hand
Great video! Can you do a part two where you sew the sides together :) the armpit area is also very challenging for me. Thank you!
Yeah sure I can def do that!!
great demo ! i use coffee filters instead of tissue paper but the idea is the same. they are more sturdy and still tear away nicely
Oh wow that’s a really good idea!!! I’m def going to have to try that next time I’m sewing lace! Thank you so much for sharing!! 💛💛
thank u! i just didnt know how to sew sleeves and this was so helpful.
😃 tweezers, duah! That's a great tip, thanks!
I'm so glad it helped!!! I've lost many pairs of the good tweezers into the depths of my sewing room LOL
Hi! I just discovered your chanel and I'm in love!! I also sew for all kind of dolls (1/12 to 1/4 sizes) and your tricks are super helpful

Very helpful! I normally baste and sew, but I will have to give this tip a try! If I can cut out a step, I would prefer doing that lol.
Miss Porpita hahah I’m so impatient I try to figure out how to do things as quickly as possible so I don’t get bored hahaha
Also this video was super helpful!
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad it was helpful for you!!

Thank you so much for watching!!! I can def add a lined dress video to my tutorial list 💛💛
Great tutorial! Have you ever tried using fabric glue for making small sewing projects? I'm working at 1/12 scale and am a little intimidated working on sleeves!
Thanks so much! Very helpful.:) May I ask the number of your Bernina presser foot? It looks nice an narrow, perfect for doll sewing.
DEAR MISS your content
YaY! Thank you.
What do you do it it is a gathered sleeve? Do you pin it then, or do you have another nifty way of doing it? thank you
I do it the same with with a gathered sleeve! I would sugest after gathering the sleeve that you iron down the gathers just so it's a little easier to work with. It's a little hard to explain without a visual, but I'm planning on doing a start to finish dress tutorial video in the next few weeks, and I'll make sure to choose something with gathered sleeves so then you can see how I do it!

great vdo where u got the mannequin doll cloth form i want one thanks
Thank you so much!! The dress form is one of the Blythe "Display Me" stands! It comes in cream, black, blue, and pink (I think!). You can usually find them on Yahoo! Japan auctions, and sometimes eBay
Should I try hand stitching first before getting a sewing machine?
It really depends what kind of sewing you're going to do! I personally don't like hand sewing because I'm very impatient, but a lot of people love hand sewing!
Hi Maile, I’m having the hardest time finding the narrow straight stitch foot. Where did you get your sewing foot? Thank you!
What sewing machine do you have? Send me a dm on Instagram and I’ll help you find it! It’s called different things for different machines I think too
Is it possible to sew doll clothes which just a needle and thread? No sewing machine?
Oh yes of course! Tbh, it's probably a lot easier haha! Personally, I'm very impatient and don't like hand sewing anything (I've been trying to figure out a way to avoid hand sewing my snaps on for yearsssss), but you can very easily hand sew dolly clothes, lots of people do actually!
@@MaileLani thank you!
@@MaileLani I try to do hand sewing but It gets so frustrating at times 😭 but I will still try to improve
0:55 girl, no one has THIS small fingers haha
LOL!!!!! It's funny because I used to think I had really tiny fingers until I became a wedding photographer. Over the past 11+ years I've photographed so many wedding bands and legit 90% of them would not fit on my pinky! Now I'm convinced I have giant sausage fingers LOL
Cries in hand sewing
LOL! I feel the same way haha
