The pattern you see my Chelly doll holding up in the image above was the first doll clothes pattern I can remember sewing.
It’s Simplicity 4883, a pattern designed to fit a vintage Tammy doll, but when I was using this pattern, back in the 1970’s, I didn’t own a Tammy doll. So I actually had to alter the pattern to fit my Barbie dolls. Thus began my long love of pattern making and alterations for doll clothes!
What was your first doll clothes pattern? And what do you remember about first learning to sew your own doll clothes?
