How to make Barbie Sweaters from Socks!

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

This makes me smile. When I was a kid, I used to upcycle old fabrics into Barbie clothes. This is a wonderful idea to take old socks and make cute sweaters for the dolls. Great work!

Thank You!!!😊

This brings good childhood memories back. Now I can afford a good BJD I will sew the life out of all my socks

[@psalm37v4]

Thank you so very much for providing detailed instructions. So many KZbinrs don’t provide good instructions, if any. I am constantly looking for ideas for doll clothes from socks. Yours is one of the better ones. If you come up with any more ideas for clothes from socks, I hope you share them here. 😊

[@1.6scale]

You are so welcome! I really enjoy making Barbie clothes from socks and I have more sock tutorial videos coming soon! 😊

This is absolutely 🤯🤯🤯 brilliant, simple to follow, expertly detailed, and so gorgeous ❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing this. I can’t wait to get some fun socks from the store and try it. It’s summertime, but my dolls will all be dressed in fabulous, cute sweaters, thanks to you 🥰🥰🥰

Great tutorial. I am thrilled to find a tutorial that keeps the sock in the upright position so that I can use so many cute socks I have been saving. I am a new sub. Thanks for the fun. Love the idea of the year of socks!

That’s a pretty idea. As a little girl I made clothes for my Barbie dolls with socks too. I used lacy socks to make dresses. 😊

[@1.6scale]

Using lacy socks is a great idea! 😊

These look so nice. Is there a way to size up to fit Ken? I have a 1:6 scale John Watson who really wants a black & white striped jumper and an oatmeal coloured cable knit jumper and I think using socks would give the best result. Edit...I see you have made some for Ken. I can't wait to try this!

[@sarahhhallockfreelibrary7058]

This was very well done! The instructions are so clear and easy to follow. Bravo. I was just wondering if it would be easier to sew up the sides, then put the bottom band on without cutting it. There would be less bulk that way.

[@1.6scale]

Yes either way would work for the waistband. Glad you liked the tutorial! and thanks for your idea!😊

This is about the best video I have found of how to make sweaters from a pair of socks so I'm going to subscribe. I have a question, can you please post the measurements in standard USA as well as metric for the mathematically challenged people such as myself😅? Also can you make a video of how to make these sock sweaters for the Chelsea size dolls. I have been collecting sock just for this cause and I'm going to get to work on it.

[@EllaGustafsson-vr9lt]

I Love It ! ❤

[@MR-rj2qw]

Well done! How do you get it on the doll without an opening at the back? Would that be even possible on dolls that are not Made to move? And even with all the joints it seems a small miracle that it fits over the head!

[@1.6scale]

Thank You! The sweater measurements are to fit a standard 11.5 inch doll. The band of the sock has a lot of stretch and the neck opening fits easily over the dolls head. To put the sweater on the doll put the arms in first and then place the neck opening over the dolls head. I hope this helps!😊

You’re welcome 😊

[@Augnalius]

Do you include a seam allowance when making the pattern. Since the hand stitching is so close to the edge can you just make a pattern and sew it, or do you need to make your Patterns slightly larger for seam allowance space?

[@1.6scale]

I don't use a seam allowance I sew the sock material together with a cross over stich and then I sew a straight stich close to the edge, If you use a larger sock you could include a seam allowance. 😊

[@Augnalius]

@@1.6scale Thanks for the reply.

[@JaneOsoCrafty]

I enjoyed watching this video. One question. Are they easy to put on? As for a child? Thank you. Jane

[@1.6scale]

The sweaters are easy to put on they stretch well over the head and hands. To make it easier to put on the doll try cutting open the back of the sweater and using Velcro to reclose it. Thank you!😊

[@HellaFluff]

the algorithm read my mind and plopped this on my front page, i found some striped socks i dont wear anymore that the colors would look so cute on my MH G3 Catty and i was thinking about figuring out if i could make a sweater out fo them for her. im guessing ill have to make a back closure since her head is bigger then a barbies, but that shouldnt be to hard with some velcro harvested from old doll clothes

[@1.6scale]

The sock fabric is very stretchy and can fit over my Barbie's heads that have a lot of hair but making a small cut down the back from the neckline and putting Velcro or a snap to close it sounds like a great idea! I'm glad you found my video!😊

[@HellaFluff]

The Monster High doll is a different size than a Barbie but you can customize the fit by adjusting the sleeve and the body of the sweater while still following the instructions of the tutorial.😊
