pantsuit for barbie doll


Girls are very fond of dressing up their dolls! But after all, dolls are most often sold without additional outfits. And if even dresses are attached to it, then such dolls are much more expensive. Therefore, if you have a sewing machine, patience and a desire to bring joy to your daughter, then you yourself can sew such an outfit. You will spend two hours or less on this lesson. For work, prepare pieces of fabric. It is advisable that they are not loose. You will also need a centimeter, white paper, chalk and scissors.

How to sew pants

Measure the doll's hips. This doll has a girth of 11 cm.

We add one cm to all seams and another centimeter so that the jacket fits freely on the doll. Divide by 4. My measurements: 3.2 cm.
Waist can not be measured. She is “aspen” for the doll, so we just make tucks on the pants. Decide on the length of the product.
Take a piece of fabric, fold it vertically in half, secure with needles. Draw the top line. Measure 6 cm down from it (seat height + hem), and then another 11 cm. From these points, draw horizontal lines. Measure 3.2 cm on the top line. On the middle line, set aside and add another 1.5–2 cm. On the bottom line, set aside 4 cm. This is the width of the trousers below. Connect all the points as shown in the photo.

How to sew a jacket.

First, we will make a back pattern. On a piece of paper down, lay 10 cm: product length + 5 mm per seam. On top and bottom, mark horizontally 4 cm: half the width of the back + 5 mm for the seam and one cm for the pinches. Make a rectangle. At the top, set aside 1 cm for the neckline and 1.5 cm on the shoulder (already with a seam allowance) from the left edge. From the right edge on a horizontal line measure 2.5 cm (armhole). Connect the lines as shown in the photo. Don’t make a deep deep pass, it’s better not to get to the right edge a little and lower the line down from there.

Cut out the pattern, lay it on a fabric folded in half and chipped with safety pins, and circle. Cut out.

Sew small Velcro on the shelves at the waist: one on the front of the fabric, and the second from the inside. Sew on the button on the front side of the product, thereby closing the seam from sewing on Velcro.
