Thank you so much for the video. I’m an adult Barbie doll collector, new and rescued and I’m a sewist, knitter and crocheted. My passion is making miniature although I do make my own clothes.

All I can see is that great vintage sewing machine. I'll bet it is easier to sew on than the new machines.
I'm a real newbie Barbie sewist, although I've been making doll clothes all my life. I'm still grappling with such tiny seams and my curvy Barbie who fits into none of my patterns. Thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to watching ALL of your other videos.

The tape thing is crazy. Im so glad i watched this as a beginner. That alone will make everything so much easier!

[jodiepack]

This is great! I love your videos and patterns. I hope you do more sloper videos. A sleeve or bodice with darts would be awesome.

I helped with a Kickstarter production of the Lammily doll and I loved making her doll clothes.

OMG!!! I am SO impressed with your tutorial.. My youngest granddaughter has a few Barbies but I don’t like the quality of the clothes created for the doll so I’ve been searching the web for quick& easy sewing tips. Yours is the best by far! All your tips- wrapping the doll in wrap before adding the masking tape, making small cuts on the curved areas before sewing and where did you get the cucumber shaped ironing form to press the dress? Incredible! Thanks a million-I can’t wait to start sewing!!!

The video was very detailed and helpful. I intend to make barbie dress for my daughter tomorrow. Am learning how to. It's gonna be my first doll dress

[unwantedjeans]

Did you cut not add a seam allowance to the arm and neckhole for the facing? Because when i drew mine, it overlapped

[cloudninetherapeutics]

Great video! I like this method better than patterns made by using foil or as other viewers have said, placing the masking tape directly on the doll. Thanks Tamara and I wish you and your family all the best and the happiest for the holidays.❤

[yolandamelena]

This was so helpful. I’m just getting started with doll clothes and I appreciate your attention to detail.❤

[valerielehl]

🎉 Love this. I was looking for someone to show me how to d ok the pattern. Never thought it would be like this. Thank you.

[tarag]

Thank you so much for all the steps and details in this video! I sew exclusively for Barbie ( mostly vintage and original silkstone) I love all your patterns and wish they all came in Barbie size. Could you do a similar video where you create the bustline darts and or body darts? I struggle with those and creating the darts from the masking tape form. Thank you for all you do 💓

[GrTiny]

Thank you, that cleared up several questions I had about this method of pattern making.
