I watched that show this week and hoping I can catch the second one. I've been thinking about getting this because I have a 1yr old granddaughter and would love to make her one. My daughter loves the doll that I made for her when she was little and still has it even though when she was little she decided it needed to wear makeup. To say the least; it never came out of the fabric but she still loves her doll.Great job.

thanks everyone. JoyjoyMarie - sweet story. SewExtremeSeams - she is turning 9 this month. Up until recently she was only interested in the bald headed baby dolls - and no clothes at all. She liked blankets and she made a quilt for those dolls with me a couple years ago. I'm guessing soon she will be too old for all of this!!

When I was making the clothes I used Velcro for closings instead of buttons. I would divide the 3/4" in half and it was easier for the younger girls to use. Buttons would be for decorations only.I hate zippers so it was a lazy way of doing things. I also used it when I made sleeping bags for the dolls. Velcro for me was like Duck Tape--it fixes alot of things!!!lol

No, the patterns are not free. They are called 30 minute doll clothes for the 18" doll. I bought the book and DVD and when you think of how much a pattern is in the store even with a coupon or discount, this came out pretty cheap. I think the book of 12 outfits was about $20.00
