How To Sew Ruffle flutter sleeve dress for 18” and 14” dolls Free patterns | HappyBankyCraftymom

[@NanaT2016]

Best tutorial on KZbin Tube by far. The lining is soooooo worth it for a professional looking finish ! I made one little change. I cut bodice lining slightly longer (1/4”?), pressed it under. I attached only the main fabric of bodice to the skirt (both parts of skirt) . Then I stitched to bodice lining to that , which got rid of the raw edge of the skirt. LOVE, LOVE LOVE this dress and my granddaughter was thrilled to get it. Thanks so much for!

[@MombiePlaysBarbie]

Thank you so much for this! I have been trying to figure out the best way to hide all my seams and this video does a great job explaining that. Much appreciated!

[@epe746]

Thank you for the patter for 14" dolls too! I'm making a rag doll, and of course, she needs a proper dress.🙂 The 18" ones are too big.

[@verlenefults2419]

Loved the tutorial! And thank you so much for the pattern.

[@mooster47]

Your pattern and tutorial are wonderful, and so is the perfectly beautiful little dress. I read your story, and it reminds me of some women who did kind and generous things for me when I was a little girl. They made a big difference in my life. Now, with your generous sharing of the patterns and instructions and with your donations to the library you are paying forward many times what that neighbor did for you when you were small. Thank you! What an inspiration you are!

[@isaacoluwayonusimi9112]

Thank you for the excellent tutorial on sewing AG doll clothes! Your video really helped me a lot!

[@anaprosa46]

Great tutorial video. Thank you so much for the pattern. Since the stores are closed I will be cutting some of my husbands shirts and pillow cases to sew some dresses. I am so excited. It made my day,..

[@barbaramack2897]

This tutorial is addictive! Oops, there goes another of my husband's shirts!!!! (Sung to the tune of "once there was a silly ole ant . . ."). Hope you don't take scissors to any Armani's!!!! 😂

[@sheila.franca]

Thank you! This was one of the best doll sewing videos I've seen on youtube. You are very professional. If you can, keep showing us how to make clothes for 18'' dolls. I have learned a lot from you.

[@PeggySue-RL]

I really appreciate this video. I have watched n backed it up watched again. Making doll clothes for my granddaughter. Thank you from Maine USA

[@BratBustersParenting]

Great tutorial ... thanks for sharing pattern. There are way simpler methods out there but it's the lining detail that makes this dress so special. Well worth the extra time.

[@barbaramack2897]

This is so professionally done. It's as if you're making the dress for a child/woman. I especially loved the way the lining was done. Thanks so much for this tutorial. I'll soon be following it step-by-step. The dress is beautiful!!!!

[@pastda3]

I had the very same thoughts.

[@deepoe6636]

I just made this for my granddaughter - she thought she was over her AG and OG dolls, and gave away all but one, the first one I gave her. She had a real rats nest for hair, and I fixed it so it looks good as new, but she only had one outfit. She's going to love this. Thanks for an easy pattern and great instructions!

[@angelikakrieg1218]

[@veronikakalashnikova4605]

От тільки що закінчила шити цей витвір мистецтва. Дякую за викрійки та відео з поясненням, ви просто чудові!

[@jennypockets]

Little tip : I use entomology pins for fine fabrics and dolls clothes, they're typically 0.38mm so they don't leave massive holes in the fabric, also they are extremely sharp so they don't snag the fabric.

[@PeggySue-RL]

Thank you all this tips make sewing much faster n beautiful

[@Hope-se7ce]

Thank you

[@brendak5486]

I found the entomology pins on internet shopping, but how do I know what size to use for sewing? Thanks for your advise.

[@af398]

You've helped me so much! What an adorable dress! Thank you for taking the time to film and making a pattern.

[@AT-qc9hs]

Thank you so much for the pattern still be available in 2024, amazing dress!

[@elainekchavasu]

Excellent sewing demonstration. The pressing pillow was a nice touch. Thank you for the pattern and video.

[@venetalarson3077]

I just finished my ruffle flutter sleeve dress, I love the way you connected the bodice and skirt. It also makes the dress puff out. It is so cute I do not know if I want to give it to my granddaughter. LOL. Thanks

[@PeggySue-RL]

I bought me the same doll so I could play with my granddaughter Britta. Making a blue with white polka dots now. These are baby dolls not AG. She is only five. I make embroidery bibs diapers for every outfit. She will be here for summer. I hope to get her out of the lake from swimming long enough to learn to sew n crochet. Lol

[@eliseintheattic9697]

Can I just say how jealous I am of your ginormous cutting mat. So cool! Also love the dress. Just bought a doll for my niece and can't wait to make clothes and teach her how to sew.

[@rosemayer2847]

Thank you for a wonderful step by step tutorial. So inspiring ❤😊

[@Bugiddle]

I love your doll videos! What a cute dress style! I hope you make more sewing tutorials! They're fun to watch!

[@corinapvalles949]

wow! wow! your fabric chose was perfect. i’m looking thru scraps now. thank you for sharing.

[@katielove9932]

Beautiful dress. Beautiful sewing. You just have such a habit of flattening down the gatherings on the dresses with an iron that made the dress look so pretty puffed-out.

[@HappyBankkyCraftyMom]

Hi, thanks 😊 but I don’t think I ruined the ruffles at all I just love the way it flat out in my opinion it’s look beautiful And I get it if you don’t have the same Idea. Anyway I saw your comment on another video about I iron the raffles again I just want to let you know I get your message 😂 ps. I don’t want you to be upset but For All my sewing video tutorials I did iron the raffles and gathering and I’m definitely will do it again Not the habit just the way I choose to do it 😊

[@revsher9690]

Beautiful and easy. Thanks to your video. Can’t wait to try it. Thank You❤

[@mrs.waller6827]

Thank you so much! This video was very helpful and I just finished my first sewing project! I am thrilled and can't wait to make more.

[@jrubybowman]

Hi I just made this little flutter sleeve dress today for my 18" doll! It turned out so cute - I used a pink floral bodice and a solid matching pink for the sleeves, lining and skirt - I fused some pretty lace and ribbon down the front of the bodice and I also hand sewed the lining edge (folded over) to the bodice so there are no raw seams - it is so cute! I wish I could send a picture! My doll LOVES it! Next Project: The little Yoke Dress for the 18" doll. Thank you SOOOO much for these patterns - they are fun, easy and turn out great! I made the pants with the ruffle this summer - so cute!!

[@HappyBankkyCraftyMom]

Thank you, I love this doll dress, I’m making dresses for my granddaughters 18 inch doll. Thank you for the pattern and tutorial.

[@kaym804]

Going to make this for my grand daughter, I’m a quilt maker and I’ve never sewn clothes😳. I love this colourful fabric you are using, thanks for sharing.

[@sandrarodriguez5531]

saw the tutorial and I love it. printed out the free pattern and I'm going to do it. Thank you.

[@daniellecharland-gruhzit7788]

YES, THANKS SO MUCH!

[@susieabbott4693]

How do you get the free pattern?

[@ssprout8209]

Easter Sunday beautiful......thank you......

[@_velvetlatte_.]

Thank you! The dress turned out to be really pretty and it fit really well on my AG doll. 😊

[@HappyBankkyCraftyMom]

You’re welcome 😉

[@_velvetlatte_.]

How can you do a 1/4 seam allowance on your machine? ( I have the same exact sewing machine as yours) And how do you gather the dress??? It took me a really long time to do it, so I think I did it wrong...😁

[@shelypastor424]

Omg 😲 your amazing 😉 I really love everything you make 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 can you please teach me how to make a iron pillow like yours 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️please 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@Tinkerbell1545]

Been trying to figure out how to make doll clothes and it’s been a struggle from the patterns I read since I have an easier time doing stuff when I see it. Thank you for showing me how to do this!!

[@TammyPowley]

Thank you for this wonderful video and so many nice projects on your blog. I'm kind of surprised you ended up putting velcro on the dress at the end, but I guess, if this is for a child, that may be necessary. You are such a talented designer.

[@AnythingDolls]

Love, Love, Love THIS! What a pretty rainbow dress. Thanks for sharing your step-by-step approach.🌸😀

[@tammydeplata2526]

oh my! love this tutorial! idk if it's just me, but it just seems so much easier to comprehend how to construct a garment when it's being done on a smaller scale! THANK YOU!

[@HappyBankkyCraftyMom]

You’re welcome 😊

[@splibragirl]

Agreed, actually when I was taking designing classes we did everything on a "doll size" scale to learn the concepts quicker. It's easier than fumbling with large amounts of fabric when learning. But it's addicting to sew small things!

[@janetspell1396]

Yes!!!

[@marysmith86]

Ah so that's how you put it all together. Love the video it is so much clearer now. Thank you.

[@vickielaird6753]

Thank You for the pattern and the tutorial for the doll dress my grand daughters will love them and have fun for hours playing with their dolls and dressing them. Thank you again! Learned some sewing tips watching you video.

Wow! Thank you for such great tutorial. I am a beginner and after watching I learned that I was sewing the wrong way. Now I have seen some techniques that will help me sew cleaner!! Thank you a gazillion times!!!

You’re welcome 😊 I’m glad I can help!

Beautiful dress thank you, I love how you did the lining

[@alinathegamer1431]

Thanks! My mom might get me an American Girl doll for Christmas so that would be so helpful to make dolls clothes!

[@CS-td1nn]

I am hoping to get an AG doll too as well as a sewing machine so I can make clothes for her and for my other dolls 😊 I have Disney Animator dolls and I would like to make outfits for them and for my AG doll if I can get one 💖 I don't live in the USA, I live in Europe so I will have to look around to see if I can get an American Girl doll from somewhere lol I hope that you can get one and have fun making outfits for them! 🥰 I have been watching lots of dress making tutorials haha 😄

[@CS-td1nn]

@Lucy Playz Oh lol I got all three of mine off of eBay. The first one I got towards the end of November was in excellent condition, then I got another that was in need of a bit of TLC and finally, I got a Pleasant Company Samantha Parkington doll last week. I expected them all to be in need of TLC but only one of them needs their wig to be replaced because it was really messed up and she had a few marks on the vinyl etc

[@CS-td1nn]

@Lucy Playz I have Truly Me/Just Like You 28, 23 and Samantha Parkington so far. I'd really like to get one of the Asian AG dolls. I think she's called Jess but I'm not too sure. I love restoring dolls so I'm glad that I got used ones because I've saved a fair amount of money but I've also given the dolls a second life lol How many do you have? Do you have any Wellie Wisher dolls? I know they're for younger kids but my niece likes AG dolls and she might like Wellie Wishers because they aren't as fragile for little kids to play with as the bigger dolls are 😅

[@CS-td1nn]

@Lucy Playz Oh yeah haha

[@HappyBankkyCraftyMom]

Hi guys, I got many notifications too! 😂

[@barbaramack2897]

Since a couple of ladies asked about the little ironing board, it's a standard sleeve board. I bought mine from Walmart but you can order them from anywhere. Comes in real handy. As a tip offering, I saw a woman in one of my online classes or KZbin videos who used a simple dowel like the one used for towels as a tool over which to press seams. That too makes a difference as there is no impression left. 😁

[@kimspeers2916]

Thank you. A wonderful, beautiful job.

[@karenhawkins5994]

This is a very nice tutorial and the dresses turned out beautiful. You do a very nice job with your sewing. Thank you for the free patterns and tutorial

[@loubnafares5380]

Mille bravo a vous pour la clarte et surtout la rapidité d execution ainsi que pour le soin et la finition de cette jolie robe. J aimerais tellement apprendre

[@susanbuckley4153]

Very pretty little dresss!! Love them :)

[@Marialla.]

What a fabulous pattern! Everything is gorgeous and very well made, yet the techniques are simple enough to teach a child! I especially ADORE the sleeve ruffles with no hemming, and they lay flat without that finicky easing you have to do with normal sleeves, and they even fit easily inside the lining for a clean, professional finish! Absolute genius!

[@savoy6100]

Thank you so very much. My grand daughter going to love them.

[@josephine8730]

This is beautiful and so well made! Thank you for sharing your talent!

[@chevydude658]

Im a new subscriber after watching this tutorial. Ive made quite a few of the AG dresses for bazaar sales but this method is primo. A beautiful way to do the lining that doesn't have nasty seams inside. I've been overcasting the edges but the lining youre doing is so much classier. It's more like a full sized garmet which I really like. Since that's where I started sewing was making my shirts I like the detail.

[@KCsBabies]

Wow! I’m glad I stumbled on your channel... my granddaughter’s 18" doll has lost its clothes - now I can make some. Thank you for this. New subscriber 👍🏼💝💐

[@5eagans]

[@JosefinaSienna]

Love this design and the pattern is gorgeous! I’m just a beginner in sewing 🧵 as my grandmother and mother know how but never forced us. They are more quilting while I just want doll clothes as American Girl can get expensive.

[@fizzknit9446]

Thank you for this clear video and for the pattern pdf download on your website. I have now made this pretty dress for my grand daughter's Our Generation doll Phoebe. As Phoebe has a button on her back for her 'growing hair' feature, I added an extra 1cm to the width of the back and front bodice pattern. (I also lengthened the skirt 1cm). This now fits Phoebe perfectly.

[@HappyBankkyCraftyMom]

You’re so sweet! Thank you so much for comment it’s mean a lot to me 😊 and also I’m so sorry that the top is not fit very well for your dolls, I wonder what type of doll is it?

you are awesome, plus I love the iron board - and the clothes rack - lol

[@lindaw2165]

She does with 3 pins what it take me 18 pins to do! LOL Now if I could just get the hemmer to work that nicely. Very cute dress.

[@PeggySue-RL]

I have a terrible time getting my rolled hem to start stitching. Seems you have it mastered. Could you give me some advice

[@HappyBankkyCraftyMom]

Hi! Try finger pressing the end of the fabric over twice about ⅛ inch and pin it then lower the presser foot on your fabric remove the pin sew couple of stitches (don’t forget to hold the thread at the back to prevent it from getting jam) Then lift up the foot and feed the folded fabric up into the scroll of the foot. Lower the foot and start stitching slowly. Hope it help!
