Hi Everyone! We round out this topic with a look at creating both performance costumes and princess dresses. The great thing about many of these designs is that they are simple in construction but the choices in fabrics and embellishments really set them apart! Whether your creating costumes to match little girls or a dress inspired by her favorite princess, the delight and joy you'll be giving to the recipient is priceless!
I love this topic! Making matching costumes for my daughter Liberty is how I got started in this crazy world of doll clothes design! I'm excited to share what I've learned and hope that this inspires you to create beautiful pieces that in turn create lasting memories!
I'm also including the video from our knits topic - Sewing With Specialty Knit Fabrics.
In this video I'll show you some examples of sewing on swim knit and sewing on a sequined fabric. I've found that sewing with these delicate types of fabrics just requires a bit of patience, and testing to get it right. Be sure to use a new sharp stretch needle (or a ball point needle), I find that this works best. I've used a regular twin needle on the FOE and it works great. If you can find a stretch twin needle, that works well too! For the swim knit, a stretch twin needle is a must, a regular twin needle tends to skip stitches. Download Video HERE

Still looking for the pdf for these sessions … On Facebook it said they would be available on the bonuses page by the end of (last) week.
