My doll outfits are handmade with loving care, and most are one-of-a-kind! Occasionally I will make more than one the same, if requested. I am a perfectionist when it comes to sewing. I take great pride in creating my work to last a long time. I always pre-wash fabric, so it will not shrink when washed. I also finish & press seams for an overall professional appearance.
Like my outfits, but don't have an 18 inch doll? No problem, all I need are measurements to clothe ANY size doll! :)
Sewing Doll Clothing Crafty Tip
For doll clothing, finishing the seams with a tight zig-zag stitch is just as effective as using a serger! Although finishing seams adds to the time a project takes, it presents a much neater appearance, and the garment will last longer.

When sewing for dolls, avoiding bulk is the key. Eliminate seams wherever possible, use lightweight fabrics, and make sure to trim your corners before turning.

Hand knitted doll clothes for a variety of dolls, from Tiny Betsy to Ball Jointed dolls and Blythe and Vintage dolls. Custom orders available.
Doll Making Crafty Tip
Wherever possible always dress dolls from the feet up. This keeps hair, eyelashes and face painting safe. It is also a good idea to cover dolls hands before inserting in sleeves to avoid catching. A doll sock is ideal for this. Put it over the dolls hand, insert arm in the sleeve and then gently pull the sock out.

Dress your 14 to 18" dolls, including American Girl or Bitty Baby dolls, in hand-sewn fashions by Sassy Doll Creations. We offer fine fashions ranging from sleepwear, bloomers, short and skirt sets and even tutus. Custom orders welcome.
Sewing Crafty Tip
Make a copy of your pattern so that the pattern will last longer, when the pattern gets too many holes from straight pins, just take the original and make another copy to use. It will save your original especially if you use the pattern as often as I do.

Crafty Tip
Find a craft you love to do, then keep experimenting and designing with it to make it uniquely yours! I've tried many different projects before making doll clothes, but I learned lots of helpful information from those projects, that have helped in techniques I use with the doll clothes, so don't be afraid to keep trying new projects or craft mediums. You never know, one day you may put them all together and have the hottest new rage around!!

Sewing Crafty Tip
When sewing with stretchy fabric like spandex, take that extra minute to put a walking foot on your sewing machine. This moves both the bottom and top layer of your fabric evenly so your seams still meet at the end.
When working with sequin fabric, pick the sequins off of the seam allowance. This will prevent your needle from hitting the sequins in the "wrong way" and causing your machine to go out of timing. This is especially important with serger machines. There's nothing worse then having a machine in the shop!

What started as a way to relax after the workday is turned into an obsession. I love sewing and making doll clothes. Our Doll Fashions is my boutique featuring clothes and accessories for 18" dolls.
Sewing Doll Clothes Crafty Tip
When you purchase a sewing pattern for doll clothes, do not cut the purchased pattern. Trace the pattern onto tracing paper and cut out the pattern from the tracing paper. The tracing paper is thicker than the purchased pattern and is easier to work with.
