    This tutorial will help you create your own pattern and basic dress for Barbie or another fashion doll of your choice. It is a fun project for new and experienced sewers.

    Thank you so much for the video. I’m an adult Barbie doll collector, new and rescued and I’m a sewist, knitter and crocheted. My passion is making miniature although I do make my own clothes.

    I helped an 8 year old who designed a Barbie dress in her note book and I made the pattern and had my Mom help sew it and it turned out “spectacularly fabulous” and I think we have a top designer in the works. This video really helped spark the imagination and creativity of a young lady. I am so proud that you inspired 3 generations of creators. 😊🎉 thank you so much!

    All I can see is that great vintage sewing machine. I'll bet it is easier to sew on than the new machines.
    I'm a real newbie Barbie sewist, although I've been making doll clothes all my life. I'm still grappling with such tiny seams and my curvy Barbie who fits into none of my patterns. Thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to watching ALL of your other videos.

    • @DesignsbyJude

      My older sewing machine is the best. I think it is because I learned on it and it feels like second nature. I have a newer one that has 130+ stitches, an automatic threader and a cutter. It's a bit intimidating. I hope you find some good tips in the videos. Thank you for watching.

    OMG!!! I am SO impressed with your tutorial.. My youngest granddaughter has a few Barbies but I don’t like the quality of the clothes created for the doll so I’ve been searching the web for quick& easy sewing tips. Yours is the best by far! All your tips- wrapping the doll in wrap before adding the masking tape, making small cuts on the curved areas before sewing and where did you get the cucumber shaped ironing form to press the dress? Incredible! Thanks a million-I can’t wait to start sewing!!!

Could you do a similar video where you create the bustline darts and or body darts? I struggle with those and creating the darts from the masking tape form. Thank you for all you do 💓

      Same. I have many poor dolls still wrapped in masking tape because I just got stuck at what to do and where to mark lines. (no pun intended). I tried foil on a rainbow high doll yesterday and yep, she's still wearing it. There's a very big difference between reading how to do it (they seem to miss a few steps between the put tape on and cut it off parts) so SEEING how this is done was mind blowing for me. I also have BJDs who are very well endowed with big hips & tiny waists. The darts part I cant get my head around and thats why the poor dolls are still taped.

    @helenamakinen7792 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much. This is very helpful. What I am struggling with is the Velcro. The ones that is available in South Africa is completely on top of one another. I see that in many TH-camrs, one of the pierces is only stitching on one of the sides and in so doing the Velcro lies more on the doll and not completely under the other side. In this the garments looks bulky and messy at the back or where I add it. Up to that point, the garment looks good, but many times afterwards not at all. Thank you for helping me.

    • @DesignsbyJude

    Why do you only have 177 views on this video yet over 5K subs? They dont know what they just missed out on.
    This was so easy to follow. I love your calm teaching technique. Makes me think "slow down". We're all in a hurry to dress our dolls, right?
    Since this is very fitted, this could technically be used to make a dress form the size of your doll, right? 🤔
    (rainbow high dress form is what I searched youtube for so I ended up here by happy accident but just subbed! )
    Im very motivated to try this out RIGHT NOW.. but ohhhh I wanna binge watch more of your tutorials! Thank you!

      @@DesignsbyJude I did my first fitting for a rainbow high doll last night. ALMOST perfect, first try, which surprised me since I've tried and failed this many times before on other dolls. Usually because I dont know or where to properly place darts and end up giving up. (This video tutorial skips the darts but its something myself and another commenter asks you to teach.)
      Because its so close to fitting the first time, Im motivated to press on. I already had her wrapped in foil, thanks to another video I'd watched before yours but I ended up trimming to the base of her neck to avoid more curvy seams.
      I've watched several of your videos now and Im kinda sad you dont own a rainbow high doll. I've only just discovered them myself.
