This is so easy to follow and very professional. If you want to see if doll clothes are for you, get this series of patterns! I’m going to buy more but for now I’m trying to make all the variations before I move on. Allow me to quote from the last line of the directions, “Now you know 95% of all sewing techniques involved in doll clothes.”
There may be some overlap from my other reviews - ah, the joys of cut and paste!
Currently, this is the group I purchase the most patterns for; it is marvellous to find so many wonderful ideas for Curvies! As soon as I saw this one, it was in my basket.
This pattern, Level Up!, is fantastic for the step by step detail that has been provided, as I'm sure others have commented. It encourages those new to the craft and is a great starting point for those who are more experienced and/or creative. I should also mention that I hand sew many of the outfits I've made from your other patterns, despite having a sewing machine, so one need not be discouraged if they don't have a machine at their disposal.
Thank you for your work and generosity!
I have been a fan of RAD for over a year, probably two years, now. I have to say, this is EXACTLY what I have wanted. This pattern is the tutorial that shows me the designers magic art to making the clothes look amazing. I love the economic conservative style of the usual patterns, when printing, but sewing for 1/6 scale is really hard for me and this tutorial has given me hope to try again! YOU should try it, and don't give up, sewing for dolls is hard, but you'll feel so accomplished when you get it!
I bought the PC Curvy Mori pattern to experiment with. I realized the vintage Madame Alexander Cissette is close to the measurements and proportions of the Rainbow High (except leg length) and Lol Omg dolls. The tights that the Lol Omg dolls wear fit perfectly.
Cissette’s arms are bigger around, so I tried a sleeveless tunic style dress. It turned out well. Thank you for great patterns with great directions. I would submit a picture but I’m not sure I can here.
I have loved the mori pattern for a long time! I have been waiting a long time for the 1/3 scale! I have many many many Requiem Arts Sesign patterns from the tiny to the 1/3 scale sizes. I have loved all these patterns!
I got another kimono pattern off of Etsy and was very disappointed. So I sprung for this one, which was a good bit more expensive - and I wasn't disappointed. RAD's doll measurements guidelines pointed me to the correct one, and explained where to cut and how to use the pattern for my OB24 doll. I haven't been able to use it yet, but the pattern overall looks good and with the changes for doll scale I should be able to alter it to my needs!
Clear and concise pattern.
I purchased this pattern because none of the ones I made fit well. At this time, I’ve only used the stocking pattern, but it went above and beyond my expectations. It’s a very intuitive design, the instructions included cover all common questions about material. Very well done.
I was able to make some equestrian-style boots for my Ken doll using this pattern; I printed the pattern at 110% as I wanted my boy doll to be able to wear socks in the boots and I was working with the thicker artificial leather. I ended up running the threads under the insole to give the glue a base for the cardboard insole to stick to, but ended up sewing the edges of the boot to the thin foam outer sole then gluing a second layer of foam underneath to create the actual sole. I also put the velcro opening on the inside, knowing it would take more work to get the boots on and off with socks.
I also made a sample boot using fleece, and the pattern worked just fine using the directions as written.
Another A+ pattern. The variations add lots of utility and I will definitely be making more outfits from this pattern.
Another absolute banger of a pattern from RAD!!
If you're on the fence about getting these patterns, do it! They've all been absolutely perfect.
Every pattern from this shop is flawless, I prefer them over anything!
Worked great! I’ve never seen before and was able to use.
I think this is perhaps my 10th patterns from here and they're absolutely fantastic
Instructions were easy to follow and I made my RH doll a skeleton costume! So much fun
I chose to make my boots with no openings and seams to the inside. The fabric I used was really a little stiff, but the pattern makes a great pair of boots.
