I’m ready to start planning my next class, for C&T Publishing’s Creative Spark online learning platform. In the comments, please let me know what type of course you’d like me to teach next. Here are some thoughts I’ve had:
- How to design your own doll dresses
- How to design your own doll shirts and blouses
- How to design your own skirts
- How to make a doll carrying-case from a shoe box
But if there’s a topic you really wish I would teach, please let me know. I haven’t started to write my class outline yet, so I’m open to your ideas!
I love working with the folks at C&T Publishing, and the classes I’ve made in the past have really helped my website financially! Hopefully both of my online classes have provided the students who’ve enrolled in them with some helpful information that has taken their sewing game to the next level.
Probably the most popular of my classes has been: “How to Alter Doll Clothes Patterns.”
It’s a little more expensive, but you get more than 40 videos exploring how to alter pants, shirts, dresses, skirts, and shorts for dolls of any shape and size.
It’s quite extensive, which is why it costs $50 instead of just $10.
If your kids and/or significant other are starting ask questions about what to give you for Christmas this year, asking for a paid course in doll clothes pattern alteration is something you might mention. It also makes a good birthday gift!
With that said, please do leave a comment. I’d like to know what kinds of courses you would be willing to take. Is there anything you’re wishing I’d teach?

I had been wondering when your next class was being published.
I am making comments based on level of class:
Easy – How to make skirts
Hard – How to make shirts and blouses (sleeves, bodice, collars make this hard).
Intermediate – How to make dresses (combination of shirts and skirts)
Shoebox carrying case: There are different size shoe boxes (large ones being boots) but normal shoe boxes can only carry smaller dolls (12 inches and under) normal dolls (13-16 inches) and larger dolls (17 inches and up) would need larger boxes (unless it is not limited to shoe boxes but boxes you can buy in the store or moving companies.
Sorry for the long post but I bought a lot of patternmaking books before I retired to teach myself but don’t need a wardrobe if you don’t work lol.
Judy, I love the idea of the shoebox carrying case! I’ve been thinking about that a lot, actually! Thank you for that clever suggestion…
I’d like to make a sleeping bag for Barbie dolls. Can I access your courses from the UK please?
Yes, Margot, you should be able to access my courses from the UK. Here’s the link. Please let me know if you have any questions!
