Great idea - I also make clothes for my granddaughters's 18" dolls. I purchase the patterns when they go on sale for a dollar each. This Christmas I made dresses for the GD's and then made matching dresses for their dolls. They also got aprons, hot pads and chef's hats, and they each got a baseball shirt and pants, along with a pair of tights, a leotard and matching tutu. (all for the dolls). Last year I had my son build the girls beside tables that can hold the dolls and hanging clothes on one side and has 3 shelves on the other side. It's always nice to have a handy person in the family!

There are actually several places to get the coat hangers but here is where I got them.

I KNOW what you mean about the price of a certain kind of dolls accessories! We too have a granddaughter with one of those dolls. I've made some clothes for the doll and matching purse for the granddaughter. The bookcase closet is a wonderful idea. Watch out, you may end up making them for others - - starting you own cottage industry!

I bought one at Target this Christmas when they were on sale. Still more expensive then yours and doesn't hold nearly as many clothes. I am going to make one of those for my granddaughter. They look easy. Especially if you can get the lumber place to cut the rod.
