Where can I find patterns for making Fashion Doll Clothes?

A friend and I were chatting tonight about doll clothes, and it occurred to me that if you've never dabbled in making doll clothes before, you may not know where to find patterns for them. So I'm sharing a list with you guys of every resource I know of.

Paid-For Patterns:

Requiem Arts: https://raddollclothes.com/

This is one of the big go-to's of the community. Requiem Arts has patterns for so many different fashion dolls, from Monster High (G1 and G3) to Rainbow High, to a number of BJDs, to Barbies, and even several for the boy dolls. I've gone to them for many a Descendants pattern since not a lot of places offer them. Her blog also features a number of great posts on size differences between dolls, fixing articulation, and more.

Dollightful: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DollightfulPatterns

If you need Monster High and Ever After High patterns with easy to follow instructions, this is the place to go! Dollightful only has a handful of patterns up, but her instructions are super easy to follow. They're just as enjoyable as her YouTube videos.

Moonlight Jewel: https://moonlightjeweldolls.myshopify.com/collections/ebooks

This artist has an interesting mix of patterns for fashion dolls, once again it's a lot of Monster High, but also a little bit of Rainbow High. I have her two pattern books, and they've got some wonderful picture instructions that put into perspective how to follow along. I hadn't realized until making this post that she's released a couple of individual patterns from her YouTube videos, that's really cool!

Enchanterium: https://www.enchanterium.com/shop

The Enchanterium sisters are a delight, and their patterns for MH, EAH, and Smart Dolls encompass a wide variety of genres. They even have some 3D printing files for shoes and accessories.

Cosmomoore: https://ko-fi.com/cosmomoore/shop/sewingpatterns

Cosmomoore is great if you need patterns for Rainbow High, Barbie, or G3 Monster High. All of the G3 patterns are under the Creepy Class tag. I've tried their skirt pattern for G3 Draculaura, it was a breeze to put together when you know a few basic stitches.

Free Patterns:

Enchanterium: https://www.enchanterium.com/shop/freebies

Enchanterium offers a number of freebies at this link! Most of them are patterns from their older YouTube videos, so there's those as a resource to follow along with.

Cosmomoore: https://ko-fi.com/cosmomoore/shop/sewingpatterns

Once again, this artist has a number of freebies, but they don't have a specific tag.

Poulpe en Ciel's Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1lkI6inme4K6wxw0IqTSGGju2bIQMln_A

This artist is known for having some truly extravagant patterns for Monster High and Cave Club dolls. And she offers them in both English and French! Highly recommend checking out Poulpe on Instagram, her dolls are absolutely to die for, and she puts so much heart into making her stuff accessible for the wider community.

Chellywood: https://chellywood.com/

Chellywood's website is a diamond in the rough. If you're looking for a doll pattern for a doll most people don't make patterns for, Chelly probably has it. Her website is organized by size and goes into individualized pages for each doll line. It's fantastic. And on top of that, she has YouTube videos!

MyFroggyStuff: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOJWM4ft-CgHQI3fhqNJzWLG30C45Xl3xs-tgatId430gKVW-J8w5cB9ViW2jRPFw?pli=1&key=Y2Y2UDJ6S01Gb2EwUHRZUVJDdm9FanpMdDZzY1RR

Barbie lovers rejoice, this is your kingdom! While there's no tagging system here, Toya has patterns for everything, from mermaid tails to cute easy dresses, this is a great place to go. Her YouTube channel is also an endless resource of creativity.

If you have any resources for patterns, or for places to buy doll clothing, feel free to reblog! I'd love to include more people from our lovely doll community so people know about them!

Today's project: a MCM esque sideboard based on a couple of pictures I've seen

My version:

I think I got the spirit of what I had in my head. I wanted to have wooden doors but the needles kept going through the sides rather than straight down. I will neaten the edges with thin craft sticks. But I like the white with the natural look, but I don't feel like it matches with the other furniture because the wood is black.

Example:

A Christmas Story, Ralphie’s “Pink Bunny Suit” Inspired Blythe

Blythe a Day December 2023 for: Christmas Bunny

Ralphie opens his present from Aunt Clara, revealing it to be a pink bunny outfit.

Adult Ralphie: (Aunt Clara had for years labored under the delusion that I was not only perpetually four years old, but also a girl.)

Mrs. Parker: Oh, isn't that sweet? Ralphie, go upstairs and try it on if you--

Ralphie: I don't want to!

Mrs. Parker: Go upstairs right now and put on that present! She went to all that trouble to make it, now go on!

[Ralphie runs upstairs.]

[Down comes Ralphie, clad in the bunny suit.]

Mrs. Parker: Ohhhh, isn't that cute? That is the most precious thing I've ever seen in my life. (Randy laughs)

Ralphie: Shut up.

The Old Man: He looks like a deranged Easter Bunny.

Mrs. Parker: He does not!

The Old Man: He does too; he looks like a pink nightmare. Do you wanna take it off? (Ralphie nods his head) Tell the kid to take it off.

Mrs. Parker: Alright, you'll only wear it when Aunt Clara visits; now go on and take it off.

The Old Man: Take it off!

Mary Poppins “Jolly Holiday” Inspired Blythe

Blythe a Day December 2023 for: Mary Poppins

♫ "Oh it's a jolly 'oliday with Mary

Mary makes your 'eart so light!

When the day is gray and ordianry

Mary makes the sun shine bright!

Oh, 'appiness is bloomin' all around 'er

The daffodils are smilin' at the dove

When Mary 'olds your 'and

You feel so grand

Your 'eart starts beatin' like

A big brass band!

It's a jolly 'oliday with Mary

No wonder that it's Mary that we love!" ♫
