Let's start making a summer sundress for a Barbie doll.
First you need to make patterns. The presented patterns are made for a standard Barbie doll and clothes sewn using them can be too large for dolls from the Bratz and Monster High collections. Therefore, for dolls from these collections and dolls of similar body types, patterns need to be made separately. There is nothing complicated about this and on the Internet you will find many sources on how to easily and simply make a pattern.
For a summer sundress we will need the following patterns: the back of the bodice with darts - 2 pieces, the front part of the bodice also with darts - 2 pieces, the hem of the sundress - we have a sun skirt, a circle with a diameter of 25 cm - 1 piece, two patterns for the collar, and also with If desired, a sundress can be turned into a dress by sewing sleeves to it; patterns are also presented.
Having figured out the number and purpose of the patterns, you can start cutting them out.
First of all, we cut out the hem of the sundress and the collar, only these two parts will be sewn from denim, for this we fit the patterns and trace them with chalk. When cutting, make seam allowances of about 5 mm.
Then we outline and cut out the sleeves and the front and back parts of the bodice, as well as the sleeves. And be sure not to forget about allowances, otherwise the finished product will be small.
All parts are ready, let's start sewing.We will do this on a sewing machine; no special professional sewing skills are required on a sewing machine, but if you don’t have one, you can just use a needle and thread.
First, we sew the bodice of the sundress, the front parts and the back separately, be sure to sew the darts, so the product will seem more elegant.
After this, we sew these two parts together.
The next step is to sew the collar at the top of the sundress. To do this, we first sew each detail of the collar around the perimeter with a regular stitch, and then sew it to the bodice, it should turn out as shown in the photo.
Next we sew the hem of the dress, first also with a regular stitch in a circle, and then sew the side slit
The last step is to sew the bottom of the sundress to the top. In addition, we also have patterns with sleeves, then you can sew them on, and if not, then you just need to sew the sides of the sleeves on a machine, folding them in advance so that the fabric does not stain
