Oh, a big yes to doll clothes! My daughter hasn’t been hugely interested in her doll, but her grandma is taking her out for the full American Girl experience so she’s getting more excited. I’ve been saving the larger scraps from her clothes so I can make coordinating ones for her doll. Might be a good way to extend my shelf life as the in house seamstress?

Would a wool jersey work? Or something like this:

I have a sweater of similar cut as this coat that my mother covets. I’d love to make it in a sweater or lighter jersey so it can be worn indoors during the winter. It gets cold here in the Northeastern US.

Thanks @motherof5 and @cybele727 for taking the time to respond!! We will be sewing a size 4T, with added length to the hem, so maybe we’ll be okay :).

@roundtheworldgirl It is so great that you get to do this so soon. My eldest was not a dolly girl and I am hoping very much that the baby will be. I learned to sew by making clothes for my dolls so I am looking forward to.

I have finished the main sewing of Noah’s shirt. I used the Jalie men’s shirt pattern for this and some cloud 9 fabric that…[Read more]

I found it plenty for the size 5 and 6. My girl has a decent sized noggin and she’s no fan of the tight neck hole.

The size will determine my answer @frances-suzanne
Up to size 2T, yes. After that I found it perfect.

We are finally getting around to sewing this lovely pattern and were wondering the ease of getting it over a child’s head. Should we lengthen the placket slightly (without altering the integrity of the pattern) if our niece is traumatized when pulling ‘tight’ things over her head? IF this would be helpful, has anyone attempted it and what steps…[Read more]

Great clothes Fiona!

my sewing has just taken a turn I didn’t think it would for another year or so. My girls decided they wanted American Girl dolls for Christmas. This weekend I tried my hand at making some party dresses for them. I found a jumper pattern online that used to be sold by the company. It is very similar to the O+S Music Box…[Read more]

@Cathbe, the best way to determine whether you need the twill tape (which I would actually recommend even if you don’t “need” it) is to check the stretch from selvedge to selvedge. If it stretches or if the fabric is quite heady you’ll almost certainly want it. I hope that helps!
Sarvi replied to the topic Ladies Sized cape similar to the Red Riding Hood Cape! in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Or here’s a thought, since those reading here are probably interested in Oliver & S products, try one of these:

Perhaps the other companies’ sites would be good places to advertise their products and sales, as I…[Read more]

@needlewoman I made the raven hoodie for Imogen in pink faux fur. I actually sized it up and it fit her for a good two years. She had outgrown the sizing but was still in the Oliver and s ranges. I found it so easy to put together and if truth be known, I think those patterns run a big bigger than oliver and s. I made the finch shorts also but…[Read more]

You are marvellous Fiona! All these things for the children are just lovely. I had to pop onto the forum just to see thumbnails because we are currently experiencing a lag in internet speed, so the emailed pictures you sent haven’t loaded enough.

All of them are wonderful! Lucky kids and parents I say!
