I Can Make Dolls' Clothes: Easy-to-follow patterns to make clothes and accessories for your favourite doll

Looks great for 7 year old grand niece. She had asked for a book to help her make clothes for her dolls so this is ideal. Very well laid out and seems extremely age appropriate to encourage young first time sewists. Simple instructions that I hope will encourage the recipient to try lots of the ideas.

This is the best children's introduction to dressmaking that I have seen. It shows children the basics of pattern cutting and the construction of clothes in a simple, easy to follow way. A child will also get experience of different stitches as he or she progresses, and learn to sew on trims, buttons and sequins. Within one day the 10-year old that I gave it to had created an embellished top and skirt for a Barbie, almost entirely by herself. The confidence she gained was priceless. I have bought other dolls clothes books in the past, but even the simplest of them was too complicated - this one is perfect for a child taking those first steps into dressmaking. If I could give it ten stars I would.

Great book arrived this afternoon I’ve already made a coat a skirt and a dress. Minimal sewing. Been doing this with my 8 yr old. You trace the patterns then cut out fabric and sew the sides so simple. We then used a hot glue gun to add all the trims and detail. Haven’t even bothered with poppers/buttons as they are staying on

This book is very very good. The guidance and the simple patterns to make the dolls clothes are excellent. Thankyou

I bought this book for my very independent niece (10) who has just started to make her own Barbie clothes. The instructions are basic and clear, the patterns in the book just need tracing and is a good start to basic sewing for dolls - which is perfect as she doesn’t want any adult help.

Brilliant and fun way to start sewing

I wish it was clear before buying the types of dolls the clothes are for. I know theres a barbie on the cover, but when you look through the book, it looks like clothes for shorter and wider dolls.

I loved the simplicity of this book which can be used effectively even by a seven year old. No fuss patterns, and don't worry about hems and so on, but just get on and enjoy it and the results while you learn. I can't fault the approach - it does everything to encourage their enthusiasm and nothing to stifle it. It's fun and they learn from it.

Very good product

Great for younger readers who have big sewing ideas! Instructions are short, clearly written and the pages are laid out in such a way that younger readers are not overwhelmed.

Fabulous book for any child who wants to make Barbie clothes. My nearly 5 yo granddaughter is having a ball making simple clothes for Barbie. Just wish they had kid proof needles. LOL! GOOD START FOR YOUNG SEEMSTRESS. These patterns have complete instructions to guide the way of even the complete novice seamstress. The clothes are very simple but cute. If you want designer fashions buy a pattern, this is not for you. If you want a perfect child proof book with thick pages, simple drawings & GREAT directions then this is it. Now a big book dize wise but perfect for childrens hands.

Good
