Today we will sew a pink knitted dresson a Barbie doll. The pattern and model of such a dress is so simple that even a child can handle it. If you are a beginner needlewoman, then this version of a doll dress is just for you.
To work you will need an old T-shirt ora piece of thin pink (or other color) jersey. Use your thin jersey t-shirt or turtleneck. Be sure to wash and iron the fabric for a neater look.
Why knitwear? Because it is much more convenient and easier to sew for dolls, since knitwear stretches well and does not require many darts.
Let's start cutting out the dress.If there is lace or elastic along the edge, then you need to make it so that it is the bottom of your dress. This way you will not need to process the edge and hem the skirt. Such dresses are sewn directly to the figure of your doll, so there is no standard pattern. Barbie dolls have different figures and heights.
Measure the length and width of the dress skirt you need.To do this, draw a rectangle and take into account the seam allowance. Usually, for hand sewing, this is a centimeter or a little less. Next, cut out the dress skirt blank. Measure the doll's chest circumference and waist height with a centimeter. You will need to draw an inverted trapezoid.
This will be the blank for the top of your dress (bodice).If you do not want to process the edge, then place the finished processed edge to the top of the bodice. If you want a tight-fitting top of the doll dress - make side darts. Their size depends on the figure of your Barbie. For straps, use threads or elastic bands from the same fabric. You can make stripes instead of thin straps. Do not forget about the decor of the dress - an old brooch or hairpin will be very appropriate. From the remaining fabric, you can make a hoop or a headband for the doll, as well as a belt for the doll dress.
We assemble two parts of the dress.Align the top and bottom for ease of sewing. The top of the dress skirt needs to be gathered into folds. Sew the bodice and skirt together, laying the side folds. Sew the back pieces of the bodice together and sew on a small Velcro or button. Velcro or a button is sewn on to make it easy to put on and take off the dress. Be sure to make a beautiful belt. You can make a belt for the dress from an old bracelet and a watch strap. You can also decorate the dress with a homemade bow from the same fabric.This is how you can sew a dress forbarbie with your own hands. Agree, it is not difficult at all. Following the tips and advice, you will be able to sew more complex models of doll dresses. Experiment and decorate your doll dress according to the latest fashion trends!
