Lovely dresses! I think I have about every pattern for the 18" dolls - I try to make one outfit each month so when Christmas comes my granddaughters get at least 6 new outfits each. In my area there is a group that meets once a month and we bring the clothes we make. Several of the ladies used to make porcelain dolls and they have a wealth of information to share about dolls and clothes.

I've also repaired patterns with small pieces of the interfacing. Irons wont get gummed up like scotch tape.
