I receive e-newsletter from simplicity creative group. this is today newsletter, I think I could share it (even if the doll shown is not necessarily our type,)

the tips are quite useful for everyone.

Hello Anne Welcome in Sew Much Fun

the rule would be: It as to be your own making. this place is to share whatever we make for our dolls, does not have to be perfect, nor professional.

it can be for any doll size. 

it can be your own design  

or If you use a pattern/ book, we'd like to see it or now the name/title/author.

basically this is it , a place to share whatever cloth we make

I am looking forward to see your creation soon

dolly Cheers

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum and new to the sewing group. I am not sure what the group etiquette is so I thought I would say hi before I shared any photos or anything

I've made this dress for Davina ( Emme from R.Tonner) last year with the help of Rosemarie Ionker's Book . this book teaches how to make/transform patterns for divers dolls size . after the dress was made (extensible black velvet and black silk veil for the sleeve) , I place the dress ornament (bought some years ago) hand sewn it in place, and glued (fabric glue) little glittering red stone on it.

this is the dress I' ve made for Kate (Tyler from R Tonner). it is in fact a simple straight skirt (extensible black velvet) and the sequined  top is a sweater/dress ornament I bought on sale some years ago when a fabric store was closing  (Fanny's Fabric). I still have some of those and usually the dress style/shape depends totally of the size/shape of this ornament.

I agree with Andy, a simple pencil skirt. as well, if like try the socks.

it's fun and fot the skirt very easy.

buy a fancy pair in a cheap store . you use the top (elastic band)as belt for the skirt ,cut it the length you like and hem the base by hand 

I know plenty of web site with free pattern some are easy I will post them here
