Because of the popularity of Civil War and 30’s reproduction fabrics for quilting, the colors are easier than they’ve ever been; but, I have difficulty finding fabrics with the prints scaled to doll clothes. It’s nice to find good historical colors, but even the smaller florals, for instance, look too big when they are put on 18" dolls.

I use to have a hard time finding super thin Velcro but have been able to find that on Etsy and eBay. My biggest problem is that we have no fabric or quilt shop within 100 round trip. So finding fabric can be a issue. I have ordered it online, which I hate to do but hate to do that as fabric is something you need to see and touch.

I have a hard time finding doll size separating zippers – especially in colors other than just black and white. Also, find it difficult to find closures for small doll overalls. I used to have a problem finding small buttons until I found the small plastic snaps that look like buttons when attached – and they come in all different colors as well as various “metal” colors that work well with denim items.

I can’t find overall buckles for 13 inch dolls. The beautiful buckles on home sew are perfect for dolls 15 inch and larger but are too large for smaller dolls. The tiny ones found on the internet are very delicate and do not stay buckled. I would love to purchase the same buckles home sew has in bulk if they could supply the same quality but smaller scale!
