I Can Make Dolls' Clothes: Easy-to-follow pat- Louise Scott-Smith, Georgia Va

This book teaches children of 7+ how to make fashionably cool mix-and-match clothes for a standard 30 cm (12 in) plastic doll. At the beginning of the book, children are encouraged to be creative and adapt the patterns to make their own designs. Its approach is simple, quick and fun, and the results are extremely stylish.

Helpful tips and inspirational photographs of the dolls modelling the finished clothes run throughout the book, and a section at the back sets out the basics of sewing, including how to thread a needle, do a running stitch and sew on poppers and buttons. The main section of the book includes patterns for nine garments, each with an actual-size pattern on the page to use as a template, along with super-clear instructions and illustrations of each step.
