Awe thanks for the shoutout! You make sewing looks so easy omg! I wish i knew how but my patience can inly take so much haha! Awesome video! I might start deconstructing clothes lol
HeXtian
Hey HeXtain! Love the vids! I would love if you responded, but it's okay if not 😊
Shinjiru Gamer same
HeXtian It is not that easy with out a sewing machine
HeXtian I absolutely adore your customs! stay artsy my friend!
*only
Also, using old shirts and leggings that have thin fabric are good and don't normally need hemmed so it's good for beginners :D
Good point :D Hemming at this scale can be a nightmare haha
Oh gosh i have all these old clotjes and like 2 fabrics, yet i still need to hem them all
I'm making a danganronpa v3 angie yonaga doll and I'm using a yellow shirt for the coat
Now I understand why are the doll clothes so damn expensive.
Haha, yeah-- material costs are way down, but the tiny scale makes it just as challenging if not more so than human-sized clothes.
Rea Clea suPERNATURAL?
Chloe Easterbrook Supernatural indeed.
Well I would want some l
if I CAN
Rea Clea ayyy supernatural fam
You just saved my entire life. I'm just getting into doll repainting and starting off with a portrait doll of myself. I never knew simple clothes like a flannel, leggings, and tank top could be so darn difficult lol
How's your doll repainting journey going, 2 years after this comment? :)
How did it turn out?
I definitely agree with you! Gosh even a dress with some simple ruffles are hard!! 😠😡 sewing is so hard and trying to do it with a sewing machine is even harder. I leaned how to hand sew. So a sewing machine is super hard. Man I just want beautiful doll clothes and I keep ending up with disasters.
How's it now four years later
Also curious! How did your mini me turn out?
Deconstructing a factory made outfit is the single most useful tip anyone has ever made on the topic of doll clothes. Your prosess somehow unlocked "how doll clothes works" for me. I found it so difficult to figure out how I could make what I wanted before. It is much easier now that I keep your videos in mind. Thanks for getting me started on sewing, gluing and customizing!
I'm really happy to hear that! :D Have fun with your doll clothes!

Cat: Oh, whatcha doin' with that box?
Cat: Well! No need to throw crap at me!
Cat: FINE, IF YOU'RE JUST GONNA KEEP THROWIN' CRAP AT ME, I'LL LEAVE.
Cat: humans these days. *smh*
Rude her cat loves her
Lol
more like
cat: whatcha doing ^-^
cat: a box??
cat: oh what's this *sniff sniff*
cat: KATHERINE YOU DIDNT TELL ME YOU WERE RECORDING!! THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING
Mia Giansanti haha this comment is so cute and funny 😆
Oh
I appreciate this because I am a visual learner and your step by step is VERY detailed. Your videos show me that it's okay to take your time and not to worry because we can always fix something.
I made 2 custom dolls after watching your video and they are probably the prettiest ones I've done yet.
Gabby Dees do you have an Instagram, if so, what is your name on there cuz not gonna lie, I’m kinda interested in what you’ve done
Fever dream well sadly I never posted any photos of my customs photos on there. I haven’t made more since. Also haven’t looked at this comment in so long I am shocked I got 43 likes lol 😂
Also it wasn’t as cool as thought. I made a Halloween Horror Night character using a descendant doll and I think that’s the only one I’ve made that doesn’t look so bad.
But if you have tumblr I am WinterScavenger if you’d like to follow me and I will post it on there.
As someone who's entire experience with sewing is all the mending they do, I wanted to let you know that this is a very easy to fallow tutorial. I live in rural town nowhere, so it's hard for me to find classes and such, and trying to teach myself how patterns work has been hard. This on the other hand, was very clear, and the editing makes it easy to fallow what pieces come from what, and how not to loose track.
I appreciate that, thank you! I was very lucky in that my Mom taught me to sew. I can imagine how much harder it would be to self-teach. Good luck and consider some of the channels I linked in the description box. ♡
Dollightful cool we have something in common! (Besides love of dolls I mean) my mom taught me to sew too!
1:36 the cats like what's in the box and when she starts pulling the clothes out the cats like, oh my god it's raining clothes, run!

I love when I search for something, like in this instance, “how to make doll clothes”, and the first suggestion is one of my subscriptions. It gives me a nice warm, familiar feeling like one of my friends has turned up. ☺️
Odjdl and I will send you to know what it was I have y the university of California San Francisco CA a message yes 👍👍☀️😎💵💰💖👍💎🙏☀️ kd hps to be a good time in the university of I will have a good day please see below and individuals who have to their respective network the university
I wished I haven't thrown away all my dolls. I could of customized them
Edit:
Thank you guys for 1k!
Alas!
What if you do not have a sewing machine?😬
You can totally sew everything by hand, it just takes a bit longer :P
I often prefer hand sewing for doll clothes, cause it's so tiny :3
Vanja Sandøy same!
Sωєєтнєαят Same! :(
As a kid I used to deconstruct doll clothes and trace for patterns all the time whenever a piece would wear or tear. I never used them at the time but I still have some of the traces and I'm so happy I do.
Absolutely inspiring, thank you!
My pleasure!
AAH! You could try doing a mermaid doll! And like give her a korean aesthetic. That would be so pretty!
Wow! Funny you mentioned that. I was just drawing a Korean Mermaid concept, no joke!!
Eek! That would be so cool! :D If you were to do a mermaid, how would you do the tail? Ooooo a Korean aesthetic would be so gorgeous.
Korean aesthetic?
Yesssss
Something to note: When doing a glued hem, the teeny tiny clothes pins you find in the scrap booking area at the craft store REALLY help to keep it in place while the glue dries without having to use pins, which could deform the fabric while it's drying.
When I SAY you are the best, I mean just that. Clear and concise your videos are the easiest and most detailed, informative AND enjoyable to watch.
I just used this tutorial to take apart the dress of the Clawdeen Wolf I'm doing my first custom on, and used the created pattern to make an adorable sweater dress!
Making the pattern was long and tedious, but using the pattern to make the dress was ridiculously easy, even for someone who was hand sewing.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I never would have thought of that and I love your videos!
your handwriting and drawings are sooo pretty!~
Aw thank you!
When I say I really, really love this video. I really, really do! Omg I love it so much. Thank you!
I recently made a Yukata for my Monster High doll a couple days ago. And I'm currently looking into how much all the stuff I will need for a repaint will cost.
You did it. You converted me.
Is it okay that I watch his videos without actually wanting to make what you do I just watch it for enjoyment
Of course! ;D
HER!!!! sorry, just the first thing I noticed bout ur comment
Yea its fine
i remember the first complete doll makeover i did was with crayons and i used the curtains to make a semi dress
Good times! haha
OML XD
Sound of Music all over again! 😉
I think you should make a Harley Quinn doll! I'm not sawing you have to ,but, just an idea! :)

Dollightfull: scatters doll clothes*
Her cat: NEW TOYS!
sometimes i watch your videos over and over to listen to you talk cx your voice is so sweet and uplifting!
good advise. i notice your cat coming out of the pot when you where writing...it was so cute!
I'VE NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO FAST
Haha thank you!
I LOVE how you organized everything, so darn satisfying! The way you made patterns and a protocol for yourself from the factory clothing was downright scientific. 10/10
I've been sewing cosplay for years and wanted to get into doll repaints (and therefore doll clothing) to make a few of my characters come to life! I decided to look up tutorials because dolls are such a smaller scale than humans. This is really easy to follow and most definitely shows me that there aren't many differences besides the size! Thank you!
yes this will be very useful I like how you reused other clothes to make new ones
You have so much beautiful dolls!
Thank you very much :D
love u ans your channle i subscribed
Even thought Im sewing clothes for a doll I made myself, looking back to this video years after it was released has really helped me!! I looked back at some other doll clothes and really gave them a good examination and found how to sew the outfit I was looking to make! Thank you for this wonderful video, even though it was made quite a long time ago
This was so helpful! Especially the pattern copying bit. AND THE CAT IS SO CUUUUUUUTE!! Something else I learned while sewing monster high underpants, if you put the fabric you’re sewing over a piece of paper (newspaper, printer paper, any kind I guess!), and just sew through the paper and everything, it stabilizes it really well and completely stops your doll clothes from being eaten by the sewing machine!! Then you can slightly wet the paper, and it just comes off perfectly! It completely saved my doll underpinnings! Haha.
Edit: needed to emphasize the cuteness of the cat.
"Now just follow your nice clean insturctions"
Me: *looks at my insturctions*
Me:sO nIcE aNd cLeAn
Yayyyy the tutorial is always the best!
Thank you so much!
Even though I haven’t sew much. Your video is motivational enough to get me to try to sew doll and baby clothes
You are so talented!! I'm absolutely mesmerized!!!
Oh Mah Gurd... it was worth it to Stay up late! THANKS FAM ^^
love your cat 1:40
Haha thanks! I think she got annoyed with me.
Dollightful shes just jealous the dress want 4 her
he/she's just "I know you don't want me here so I'm ignoring you"
Dollightful what's her name
Oh my gooooood Kat you’re a genius!! I never thought of taking old clothes apart! I just thought I would guess my way through the outfit. Thanks for sharing all your sewing tips!! 💕
I've been looking all over for TH-cam video's like yours. Thank you so much!
omg! i loved this video!! i just need to do this right now!! i love ur cat!
Thank you very much! :D
The cat was a nice touch
thank you!!!!

Loved it. Can't wait until part 2.
What an awesome tutorial. I purchased a tiny machine and a few remnants. I can hardly wait to get started. Thanks
At 00:15, I love the white kimono one doll, do you have a video on how you made that one doll? (to me it looks like a kimono) This is very helpful
Ah, that's my hanbok pattern. Stayed tuned for part 2.

If its not to much trouble can you scan some of your awesome patterns into the computer so we can print them off? your just so good at it and I for one have no doll cloths I can take apart to make patterns. please and thank you
Well--check for part two in a few days!
2:20 it’s so nice to see someone else , who’s not a kid that has a doll clothes collection. I pretty much have to since I have a bunch of Barbie dolls that I still play with (usually with my grandkids).😁
I absolutely love this channel! Keep on the good work!
I could never pull myself to destroy a doll outfit.....
Can you please do a video on how to re-size barbie and other doll clothes to fit monster high?
I love the way you encourage 1st timers in your tutorials . You have a new subscriber here !
Deconstructing is absolutely genius!
You should sell your doll clothes on eBay I would love to buy them
Greencreamsoda2004 1
Or etsy 😄
Begging: Alright, pretty easy I might be able to do this
Everything else since Seam Allowance mentioned: complete and utter confusion
When I was younger I loved your channel (I still do) and you introduced me to monster high! I got a second hand lot of monster high dolls at around that time, and now I’m gonna make them clothes, thanks for making these videos!
this is always my recommended tutorial a dollightful tutorial
to me nobody did it better than dollightful
ill keep this mind for my customs xp
hey dollightful remember that I comment about making a posable mermaid tail for a doll, there's a video that HeXtian made a posable tail meeshell mermaid, go check it out if you haven't seen it yet. I think you might like it.:)
Peri!
I'm a big fan of peridot. :)
She is my favorite
that's awesome :). she's so funny and cute. :3
Amedot, Lapidot, or Jaspidot? I ship Amedot like romance and Lapidot like sisters but nothing with Jasper.😀
I swear this is the most useful I found on this matter. Thanks!
Beautiful work of Art
Most of the time I just paint the doll cloths I all ready have. I don't know if I should do that
Hey, whatever works as long as you're pleased with the result. :D
could you please make raven from teen titans? i would love
Oh my gosh! I love the way that red dress looks 😍
My my my! Is this the most wonderful tutorial on sewing doll clothes or what?! From all the amazing tips and tricks you shared to the enthusiastic tone of your voice, this video of yours has me feeling much more confident that I can do this. Thank you so much for sharing, you have a new subscriber!! 🌷🌟
honestly id probably rather hand sew it. since that just seems like a pain to try to use a sewing machine. would take longer but would be a looooot easier to not screw up lol
Whatever works for you! I have seen some very beautiful hand-sewn doll clothes. :D
Thanks for the video! I've honestly never thought about taking apart the doll's original clothes!
It makes things a piece of cake! :D
Finally a guide on sewing doll clothing !!! Can't wait for part 2 !!!
I know it’s been requested for a while but I procrastinated~ hehe :D
You are an absolute genius thank you for making these videos there are so many techniques that you use that I would never have thought of!
WOW....You do an amaing job!!!
You also do a great job at explaining and demonstrating.
And I thought making my baby doll clothes was hard! Man, I wouldn't have the patience for such tiny sewing. Kudos. Also, great video. It's inspired me to be more through with the doll clothes patterns I make from factory made items.
You made the intructions so easy for me and my was purfect and my was on a fashionista petite doll , thank you
Great looking outfit!
I go to animation school and am currently doing a course in doll stop motion animation. This has been a huge help in making the costumes, thank you!💖
I love Your dolls and everything You do. You have been very informant to me as I have just started learning. Please keep all Your great art coming Love all of It.
this was actually good advice and it looks really easy
Thanks for this video. I just used this method to make some shorts for my first ever custom 😁
Excellent! Thank you. I am so impressed that your sewing machine sews over the pins =) I may try that with my less expensive work horse machine...I was of the generation that you never sewed over pins, but with these small dolls you almost have to, or hand baste, which is what i do. The way you do it is so much faster.
This tutorial is so easy to follow!
This is SO helpful this is fast easy and I love how you could custom it! I love it!
you have a crazy huge amount of talent! your work is truly stunning
Aw shucks, thank you very much!
I've been seeing since I was 3 and everything I don't know know about seeing amazes me and you are really amazing
what a fantastic video. very helpful! as I go into my first custom, I plan to make sort of a flapper dress, one with lots of fringe and pearls. this video really helped put the process in my mind. I'm super thankful I can sew, but I see now it's going to be tougher than I thought! can't wait for part two.
A flapper dress sounds like a great dress to start with. I bet you'll do a great job since you can already sew! My best advice is just to take it slow and use the hand crank a lot.
Wow! This video is just what I needed!!! Now I feel confident to start doing clothes. Thank you!
I'm so glad to hear it! :D
You. Are. AMAZING. This was actually ridiculously helpful. I'm learning to sew, but so are my kids and this is such a great idea! I'm going to spend the next hour going through your videos.
Excellent tutorial!
thank you! I am only starting this, so I have been watching tons of videos
Absolutely brilliant! thank you!
I love watching you and Hex (I call him that for short, he doesn't seem to mind).
fascinating what customs you both come up with
Thank you Carrie! :)
great video! Very instructive! Thank you for sharing pattern examples!
This video is so cool, detailed and fantastic. This is the third time I've watched it and I still can't get enough of the idea of making your own doll clothes!!!!😁😁😍😍
I used to make little doll clothes for my barbies *and now im ready to learn from the master*
Thanks Dolli! You have given me loads of tips here! Appreciate you sharing this!
Wow this tutorial is amazing! I wish I could give more than one thumbs up.
Thank you very much for sharing with us.
As someone who sews, I can absolutely confirm that a cat is a necessary seamstress assistant. LOL! Even though I sew and have worked with complicated patterns and fabrics, it still blows my mind to see people sew up doll clothes. So tiny and precise. Hats off to you!
Wow, this is very informative, thank you so much for uploading! ❤️❤️
Great tutorial! And very cute outfits! This is very helpful to me. Can't wait for the next one!
Something I've found helpful with sewing; when I have to rotate my piece, I put the needle down into it, then lift the foot. That way, there's no risk of shifting it too far, or accidentally pulling thread too far out of the machine.
Ah, I do the same thing! Very helpful tip. :D Thanks!
Dang i love ur dolls! You have inspired me soooooo much
This was so helpful! Been struggling with getting consistent clothing. Thank you!
i am soo excited to start doll customisation! i saved up all my money to by EVERYTHING i need and it came to a total of about $260 (nzd). this is going to be so great!! your tutorials really help me, the items are shippingggg
Thank you for sharing this great tutorial. Meg
