5 USEFUL TOOLS FOR DOLL SEWING My favorite tools for sewing Blythe outfits

Muy buenos consejos. ❤muchas gracias

Hey Cat 🤎👈🏿

Thanks

Thank you for these tips! It was really helpful ❤️ but I've been looking for a narrow foot so long, that I was going to give up. Could you share the information where to get this foot?

away from the video content
These little dresses are masterpieces!!!

I’m so glad I found this video! Thank you so so much!!

These clear, to-the-point and understandable guides and tutorials are SO appreciated because of my ADHD!! The idea of needing to watch longer videos to piece together the basics of sewing doll clothes (as i'm not a sewing beginner, but I haven't sewn anything on this tiny of a scale!) has been putting me off!! I'm glad I found your channel :D

I love this so much! Straight to the point, smart choices, good recommendations! No crazy stuff! Thank you so much 😢❤

Awesome tips! I’d have never thought of some of this stuff! As a person who sews as a hobby I feel almost like an imposter for not knowing about a narrow presser foot! I need one now!

Great tips! TYFS 😊🧡😊💯

I've been doing hand beading since I was thirteen, almost 23 years. I've been threading beading needles by eye 🤣

Hello, it's my school vacation and I want to make doll dresses but I don't know how will I do it or what to at first...I don't have a sewing machine. I just have some clothes, needles, a doll, and threads...what should I do... need some instructions but where to get.. 🥺🥺🥺🥺and yeah I just subscribed to your channel 🙃

I would recommend you try Fray Block instead of Fray Check. Both do the job and both dry clearly but Fray Block dries softer. Very helpful on ribbons and bows too.

I have Bernina 930 and noticed the presser foot says 038? is that correct? I'd like to search for one.

Did you sew the dress in your intro? Can you make a video on how you did it?

Others:-learning how to make clothes for dolls-
Me:help why is her cat in the background so cuteee

Where do you get good fabric?

I’m genuinely so grateful for this video. This was just what I was looking for; small, vital, quality of life tools and habits for miniature scale projects. I actually breathed a sigh of relief. Thank you for saving my nerves!

Do you have a link or pattern for the dress in the thumbnail? I've been looking for something like it for forever

I use a clear sewing foot myself

Tiny sewing!! I'm definitely going to keep those tiny needles in mind! I'm learning to make plushies and apparently doing things normal is boring so I'm attempting to make my pattern as tiny as possible, ok not as possible but atleast keychain sized and it can be kinda tricky! Luckily I really enjoy sewing by hand so it's not too hard! I've started using basting tap and sometimes adhesive spray in place of pinning. I really love the clips, I got them off a friends recommendation and I love them EXCEPT I try not to use them because it makes my project way down a lot. But I'm working with minky so the spray and basting tape just doesn't cut it most of the time. I tend to like to use pins to line up my pieces (only puncturing them straight through so I can make sure certain parts of the patterns meet up so I know it'll match) actually sometimes I just use my hand sewing needle because it's convenient but I will keep it in mind if I use more delicate fabrics, luckily I use minky and nothing really shows. There really isn't a lot when it comes to this stuff. Not much tutorials for more complicated patterns or interesting content in general on my topic. I have a lot of crafting time to spend with nothing to watch!!

Do have a site where you sell your clothes?

Lovely cat

Lovely car

Fray check saves my life. Lately, I start to make doll clothes. I always wonder it must have something to overlook frabic because doll clothes are smaller than adults. I bought overcasting foot because I only have a sewing machine with the zig-zag stitch. It took me 30 minutes just to overlock fabric. I am so frustrated until I find out fray check cheaper and faster than buy serger or overcasting foot. Thank you so much

Great tips!!

I have some things shown in the video like mini clips (of wood) or needles, sadly i can't buy the other things. Here in Argentina, Amazon wants to makes you pay like 7.000 Argentine pesos for like a goddamn piece of paper
Please i don't want to live here anymore

HI

what's the style of doll clothing that is used in the thumbnail?

Clipping was good to know!! I love your cute furry assistant!!

I like this

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE??

Omgg thank you so much i just recently start sewing clothing for my bjd doll and the it's so hard compared to the normal size clothing especially when using the needles that gonna leave a hole to my fabric..also i cannot find a mini zipper to use it on my doll clothing.

I adore sewing clips, they make life easy. And it is so, so, SO important to swatch test fray check/fray stop because some fabrics are super absorbent- I stupidly once just went straight to fray checking a delicate piece I'd embroidered without checking it with the few scraps I had left, and the fray check just swept through the fabric like if you dipped the corner of a tissue in water- and it stained and turned the fabric hard. Could not get it to wash out. No more fabric left to replace it, all the local stores sold out of that very unique colour of wedding dress grade satin that cost me an arm and a leg. Entire expensive project with hours of work ruined because I rushed it. Swatch test your fray stop!! I also only apply it with a little brush with the fabric sitting on paper towel, now, so I only apply the barest amount at a time to avoid further catastrophe.

thank you for the tips!! im starting to sew clothes for my dollfie thats coming very soon, as volks brand clothes are so expensive!!

You r insanely talented and this information is SO invaluable cuz I'm trying to do something as far as making outfits

quick question! (beginner) if I just get a narrow foot off of amazon can I just put in a random machine? or do I have to get a specific one for my machine?

How was the ruffle on the neckline of the dress made at the beginning of the film?

Very helpful, and I’m happy to say that I have all of those things except the tiny clips. 😁
I’m surprised that I didn’t think of using of those things while trying to sew Barbie clothes.

Omg that dress is so cute will there be a tutorial?

Omg. Thank you for the tips, but I just can't get over those cute tiny buttons. Can I ask where you get them?

Oh! I forgot! Hemostat, I use a small nosed hemostat (fishing lure making size). You can get them at Walmart in the fishing lure area. And I turn dress bodices out, and socks when I see them. It locks and grips very well. I’ve used it for elastic as well! Since I have ball jointed dolls I use the larger nosed ones for restringing. And for the SD sized (1/3) dolls! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🧵🧵🧵🧵

Yes!!! Those clips are perfect, I also use pins still. I also use a small craft iron, and I got a doll clothing ironing board. It’s invaluable! I hand sew all of my doll clothing. And I use a fishing hook sharpener for my hand needles. And I use a thimble for my middle finger. And sometimes I get the top of my thumb with the sewing needle, so I have a larger like ‘sock’ thimble for that thumb. To protect it.

❤️❤️❤️❤️🧵🧵🧵🧵

i dont have many fabrics, just old clothes, can you make any tutorials on how to make poofy dresses and skirts with just old fabric in the house?

I use the miniature clothes pins I found at Dollar General instead of fabric clamps. A buck a bag! Two sizes!

Wonderful tips! I didn’t that there was a smaller sewing foot available! I’ve been sewing the tinier details by hand. I find sleeves are the hardest to sew on the machine.

Beading needles! I have some from past beading projects too so will be using them from now on. Thank you! :)
Before covid I used to sew mostly dance wear and despite all the enthusiasm of others I wasn't a fan of quilt clips for stretch fabrics but then I started sewing face masks and dolls clothes! The extra narrow ones you showed are brilliant! I still use my extra fine pins for dolls clothes but standard pins are just as you say.
Yes to tweezers too! I like craft/sewing tweezers best as they are longer and comparatively slimmer so they're really good for just guiding tiny pieces under the foot like a stiletto too. My favourites are the opposable ones that close when you released the pressure.

I really really need fray check
