Pick-The-Right-Motif for Your Favorite Doll!

If you feel disconnected from your tot, or have been away from her for too long, sewing doll clothes is a fun way to share quality time with your little girl. This is both an engaging and learning activity for your child and you. Children are often hooked to colors and patterns from a young age. From this activity stems a passion for couture that could launch your child her very own boutique.

From pinks and blues, to stars and spangles, polka dots and rainbow colors, let your imagination run wild with 18 inch doll patterns! Turn out your plastic models in their best Sunday ensemble for a day at the mall, or sassy sarongs for a beach party. 18 inch dolls are as great to dress as they are petite, slender and have the perfect proportions for a pretty dress. Invite your little girl to share her ideas about funky patterns or dress cuts and play dressmaker to the world's most beautiful models.
