I love that books like these are made. It honestly makes creating clothes for my dolls much easier than drafting and creating doll clothes from scratch. I don’t have this one specifically but I did buy the skirt pants version. I haven’t used it just yet to make anything but I have been using the other Japanese doll clothing books that fall into this one’s same category. I’ll probably add this one to my collection since it’s the best way I can make perfectly sized clothes for my Ruruko, SD16 and 1/3 dolls.
Hi Edgar,
I totally agree.
There’s such a huge amount of helpful information in these books that help reduce the time it takes in creating patterns/clothes for dolls.
I simply need to make the time to go through the books. And that is what we plan to do this year.
We’ll be working through the Paper Pattern Textbook Skirts & Pants this year.
There are several skirt and pants patterns I’m excited to create.
I know we’ll make a lot of mistakes but we’ll figure it out in the end 😆
If you make any outfits from the Paper Pattern Textbook Skirts & Pants, do come back and share your makes.
And let us know what you think.
We’d enjoy hearing your experience and learning some tips from you.
