You have made all the stylish dresses so different from each other with just slight tweaks - such talent !
THANK You 😊❤️ I try to allow them to be individuals and not make all the dresses the same😊. Thank you for being here!
The calico fabrics you chose are so very pretty. The blue on the "mature" doll is my favorite.
@@colleenpomeroy274 Thank you I do really like that Blue! I love how the jacket made her look more mature 😊
Oh my goodness...I just love love love these little dresses! I can't wait to make dresses for my next set of dolls...I'll be playing this video repeatedly until the dolls are done LOL I'll think of it as having you looking over my shoulder telling me to take a deep breath. Thank you! You've taught me so much and I can't wait for more!
YOU are so Kind Rachael ☺️ Such kind words! That would be great to be in like a setting with everyone working on a project and I'm standing by to help! That would be FUN! I appreciate your feedback 😃❤️ Thank you for being here ☺️!
I really like how different each one is. Beautiful fabrics ❤
Thank You 😊
All the dresses are so pretty!! Beautiful fabric and trim choices. I especially like the suit with the peplum! ❤
THANK You Siennaflower! I like that jacket ALOT too!
They are looking lovely 🎉
Thank you 😊
Hiya hun my old friend taught me to make barbie doll size clothes I must get my sewing machine out and make some
YES! Get some clothes on your Dolls! Lololol 😆 but I can't do sewing machine 😞 though, I'm a GLUE GIRL!!!😂
Keep me posted I would love to see what you make!😃❤️
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I will let you know hun x I really want to make videos but I'm poorly new diagnosed with insulin dependent type 2 diabetes and its awful can't get my numbers to go down . But as soon as I'm feeling better I'd love to try lol I'm into so many crafts lol
It absolutely amazes me how you create these pieces without any measurements or patterns!🙌🏾
LOL! Thank you! 😊 I think it's because I've been doing it so long! Plus I've always been a little rebellious when it comes to measuring. I always have to make adjustments based on the dolls different body types, so I just end up customizing the whole thing! Thank you for watching!
Fascinating to watch your techniques! They each look so stylish! Thanks much, Kathleen
Thank you so much! I'm having so much FUN ☺️!!! I do really Love how they turned out! The lady in the black dress asked for a couple modifications so I'm trying to keep my little ladies Happy 😂❤️! Do recognize anything?🤔😅😃 l hope you do know how much I appreciate your kindness!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 ❤️❤️
This is so helpful! Now I see all the little things for a near no sew beautiful result. The dresses are enchanting. The details you add make them look so well finished, fashionable and tasteful. I'm enjoying seeing these beauties come to life xx
Thank You Cassandra! I LOVE DRESSING THE DOLL! I'M SO GLAD THIS WAS HELPFUL 😃☺️
Beautiful,great work as usual. I have my dolls ready to dress, and I am so happy to know I can use glue.
Thank you Sandra! YES I wish I had known about Gluing fabric as a child! It truly gives you more freedom in your designs 😄
Beautiful! You are so good at coming up with these dresses. Great video.
Thank you so much I LOVE DRESSING the DOLLS!!! The clothes tell you who they are!!! i can't wait to do their hair!!!!
How beautiful! You have great patience and attention to details. Every dress is a delight.
Thank you so much! I am trying to define them and who they are in the "little community" because the character is in the Clothing!
What an amazing video! Can hardly wait for the hair !
Thank You 😊 Me too!! Thank You for watching ❤️😃
Do you think that using the technique of your front-split bodice would work for your sleeves?
Yes I do think it would work it will probably make a really interesting looking sleeve! That's a great suggestion! 😃 Let me know how it turns out if you try it! 💖💖💖
Gretchen where do you get your dolls great job
Hi Shelley! Thank Most of My Dolls, I make myself. I will be doing a complete video to show how i create them. But the ones in this video 2 were gifts, one I got from Ann Arbor Miniature show and the 2 in the middle I got from Minimum world.com.
I must truly THANK YOU for this video!!! I am NO DOLL DRESSMAKER!!! Not at all!!! I watched this video over and over for about 2 hours - and made a decent looking dress for a lovely doll that was gifted to me by a miniaturist that I don't even know! She saw my posts on fb, and asked for an address to send me a gift! I wish I could show you a picture of my little doll in her pink and off white dress!!! You gave me COURAGE to try, and it came out pretty good! I love your channel!!! I can hardly wait for the WEDDING!! And to see the lovely house you inherited all furnished and decorated. I'm so sorry to hear of Aunt Shirley's passing, my sincere condolences. God bless, and "see" you soon in another episode!
Hello THERE TONI!!!! I'M SO GLAD TO HEAR YOU WERE INSPIRED TO DRESS YOUR DOLL FROM MY VIDEOS I DO HAVE SEVERAL MORE PLUS THE ONE COMING UP FOR MARGUERITE'S DRESS!!! I LOVE DRESSING DOLL!!! I'D LOVE TO SEE YOUR DOLL! EMAIL ME a picture littlegretchensworkshop@yahoo.com.
Love this so much!! I love the fabric print on all the dresses..and the eyelet trim..I knew you were gonna put that green lace around the cuffs..lol that's what I would of done. I love the jacket dress and all the puffed sleeves🥰❤️Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank You So much!!! I just LOVE making and Dressing the DOLLS! Especially the ladies and All the little extra frills! One of the ladies has requested modifications to her outfit so I have to make so adjustments for her. Sometimes i think maybe if i wasn't trying to make and dress 10 DOLLS at a time I could focus better! Thank you for watching!!!
Love all the ways you made the dresses different.. and love the fabric choices...amazing once again..❤
YAY!!! Thanks so much 😊I just LOVE DRESSING THE DOLLS!!!
They all look smashing.
LOLOLOLOL! Thank you Irene!!!
I'm going through and watching all of your videos, I Just love every thing you make and you voice is so soothing..I Love the way you explain what you are doing and I find myself nodding along as you give tips. Your videos are so calming, like the Bob Ross of dollhouses for me. 😂
OH WOW MEG!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! THAT IS SUCH A SWEET COMPLIMENT!!! I am So Glad to know my way and style of sharing resonates with you! I appreciate you !!!
Loved them all but especially loved the suit it looked wonderful! Well done another amazing video! Thank you for sharing ❤😊
Thank you so much!! I Love the Suit too!
Too much glue will bleed through and mark the fabric, a small glue applicator with a fine metal tip allow you to use a fine line of glue.
Can't see clearly as the long nails are in the way!!!
Thank You for watching 😃 Linda! You are Exactly right! Too much Glue will bleed through! I appreciate your feedback! 💖💖💖💖💖
Can't wait to see the finished dolls. They are looking beautiful. 👍
Thanks so much 😊I'm having so much FUN!! The Dolls are My FAVORITE!!!
Woke up early and started my day watching your video. I am as excited as the dolls to see the beauty you create. Thank you, Ms Gretchen!
You are so welcome Christie! I'm so glad you are enjoying this!! I'm having so much FUN creating these videos!
The new dresses are so cute and pretty! 🥰 I have three dolls waiting patiently for me to give them some clothes, so I'm sure they're as thankful for this video as I am. 😊
Thank you 🤗YES Put some Clothes on those DOLLS!!! LOLOL! They will be So Grateful!!!
Wow, all the dresses are beautiful, I especially like the tailored suit with the peplum!
You have a real genius for detail, and those details really shine through on all these adorable dressed up dolls!
Thank you so much! This part is So much fun 😁! I'm Glad you are enjoying it!
The dresses look amazing. You do such lovely work and make it look so simple. But after trying to glue a simple pillow seam, I’ll stick to a needle and thread, much easier for me! 😂
I totally understand! Learning something new can be frustrating! I used needle and thread for years until I realized there was GLUE specifically for FABRIC Crafts! For me the GLUE gives me so much Freedom and flexibility, because if I don't like it I can just pull it off!!!LOOLOLOLL! Thank you for watching!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 It was fabric glue I used, but oh it was awful! I see you use a tacky glue as well? Not sure if we can get that type in the UK.
You make it all look so easy. The ladies clothes look fantastic, I'm sure they are all pleased as punch with their new outfits, and no more nudity! lol
LOLOLOL 😂! I LOVE THAT! " NO MORE NUDITY"! YES THEY ARE ALL "CLOTHED AND IN THEIR RIGHT"!!!😂😀😄😀❤️
This is wonderful. I sew more than I glue when it comes to clothes. These present a nice alternative
Thank You 😊!
LOVE your dolls and their dresses! ❤️
Thank you!
Gretchen, did you make these dolls (put the pieces together)? Or did you get them already assembled? I'm wondering if you could show how it's done, if you did do them. Thank you!
Hi Mary!!! Thank you for watching ❤️ 😃 The Dolls in this video I bought but I re-dressed and wigged them. I do have several videos on how I create, dress and wig a 12th scale Doll house Dolls ❤️😃
To be clear I don't "string" Dolls at all. 😊
So amazing. Love all the dresses!
Thank you so much! THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!!! Thank you for watching!!
The ladies look great.❤😊
I think so too! I'm So Glad 😊 You are enjoying this!!!
WOW your dolls look amazing, Each dress is unique to the doll, I really love that you made the dresses different, So very pretty, I am definitely going to have a go but not sure my dolls will turn out as beautiful as yours, Great video I really enjoyed it ❤👍
Thank you so much! I'm sure your dresses will turn out LOVELY as well! Just take your time don't rush! If you don't like something stop and try again. It just takes a little practice! Let me know how it goes!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 Thanks I will, 😁
Thanks for this. I always have such difficulty with picking fabric that has the right scale. Does that worry you or do you have the knack of knowing what will work?
Hi Kelley! I know what I want but it is challenging finding really small prints. I do kinda have an eye for it because I've been doing it so long. I generally go for quilting fabrics, like the Calico prints. Scale really does matter ALOT with doll clothes. I search eBay for doll making fabrics, fine small prints. Lightweight fabrics drape better. Also, I Thrift sometimes and baby clothes have small prints if you can find a good deal! I will check my vendor list to see who I ordered from over past year. I will add names to description.❤️ Feel free to email me if you have any other questions😃. Thank you for watching 😊.
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 Thanks! That's so good of you.
Beautiful TFS 💞💕💕
YOU are Welcome! Thank You for watching ❤️😃
Where do you find your dolls
Most I make myself, the others I bought from Minimum World❤️
You make that look so easy! They all turned out great! I especially loved the peplum style. Well done!
THANK YOU! I Love the Peplum suit too! Thank You for being here 😊!
Thanks so much 😊I LIKE THAT DRESS ALOT TOO!!!
You're so gifted!
Thank you!!!! I Appreciate your Kind words!
You are an excellent teacher. The ladies are looking beautifully and properly dressed for any wonderful occasion that you may imagine for us to enjoy.
Wow, thank you! That is Such a Beautiful Compliment! I LOVE sharing what i have learned over the years! It is a delight to know that it is helpful! Yes there is a wonderful occasion ahead for the Dolls and they will need to be Dressed properly! LOL! Thank you for watching!!
You are very welcome I love watching your Channel.
I Love being able to share with those that understand...
👍🏾
Beautiful dresses!
Thank you Candace!!!
This is amazing ❤❤❤
Thank you!!!!
Great dresses 😌
Thank you!! 😊 i'm glad you like them!!!
I love watching you work your magic with the dolls, fitting their skirts and bodices. Somehow you manage to find the perfect fabric and lace for a timeless , classic look. No wonder your dolls are seamstresses! Beautiful 🥰
Thank you so much!!! I try, I really do try! I want the dolls to look nice and be happy. The lady is the Black dress was looking away trying to motion me while i was taking the picture. She is not happy with her dress. She requested modifications. I was wondering why she insisted the little girl be in the photo.She was trying to cover her dress! SO I must go back to the drawing board to see if i can make it up to her! LOLOLOL!!
You have magic fingers! I love your dresses. Amazon has packets of small lace and crochet edgings. I was really pleased with them and I thought about you when I was going through them.
Yes they do have nice packets of trims. I also stalk ebay for vendors with small prints, trim and lace! I need to include those in the description! Thank you for reminding me!! LOLOLOLOL!!
Great dressings, especially the blue 'suit'--love that one! You can buy a turning tool, called a bodkin, for turning those tiny sleeves; but I've always had good luck with a tiny safety pin. 😊
Thanks for the tips! A tiny safety pin.... WOW! Thank you for the suggestion!!! I appreciate you Francine
❤
😀❤️😀 THANK YOU for Watching
Hello, I love the dresses, each one is unique and beautiful, thank you for showing us how you make them, all the finishing touches are what make them special, they seemed to suit each doll perfectly, the colours really brought out the character of each doll too, there seemed to be an inkling of personalities appearing in each of their faces when the dresses were completed, you are so talented and your doll are a credit to you, I'm looking forward to your next video. Best wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧
Thank you Diane! YES I am very pleased wit how they have turned out! The doll in the black dress was motioning me off camera when i took the picture. I didn't realize she doesn't like her dress, she has requested a few modifications.So I've got more work to do! LOLOLOLOL!!!
Ok so do you make them from pictures you've seen or you make them up from that wonderful imagination of yours, girl I was smiling the whole time. Love love love your work 18:03
ALL Dolls are created and dressed from my imagination! No real plan I just start working and I stop when I'm happy with it! I have looked an pictures from the early 1900 up to 1920 for inspiration, just to get an idea of how people dressed, then i do my own thing! Thank you for being here!
This video was so very helpful. Thank you so much.
So glad to hear that this was helpful!!! I have more Doll making and dressing videos coming up so stay tuned! Thank you for watching!
Love these little dresses Gretchen they’re all so pretty, your tutorials are always great to watch and certainly learn from, and the dolls must be so happy with their new dresses too, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Thanks so much 😊Julie! They are Happy!.... Well All but 1, the doll in the black was motioning me that she did not like her dress and wanted modifications. She actually had the little girl in the pink dress block her dress from the camera! LOLOL! So i will be working to re- tailor her dress! LOLOLOL!!! Thank you for watching!
They all turned out so pretty!!!
