DIY - How to Make: 9 Dresses Without a Pattern!

[@sharonkaysnowton]

When I was a little girl I had a grandmother who would sew without a pattern for all the grandkids. When I became a mom years later, she would sew clothes for my little girl without a pattern. She also would do quilting. I still have the things she made for my little girl who is now a 45 year old woman. That kind of talent is a lost art and long gone....I found that talent in YOU!!!! Wow!!! I have always admired you, Miss Toya, as a doll crafter. I did not know you also sew to the nth as you do. Mattel- Are you listening???? You should definitely hire Miss Toya. Your sales would soar!!!!!! Be blessed, Toya.

[@pamzeyhorror]

my grandma was the same, she would make all her barbies tradional Cambodian clothes by hand no pattern no nothing just skills 😊

I wish Mattel would make realistic clothes not these pink and white clothes.

[@sharonkaysnowton]

@@animalcrossingnerd8142 Hi. The only thing I can sew is Barbie doll clothes. I also buy my Barbie doll clothes from Etsy and Ebay. I find the vintage Barbie clothes I prefer for my Barbies. I don't mind pink but want a large selection.

[@johnettehaines6291]

I am currently making Barbie clothes for my 8 year old Grand-daughter. Did a shoe box full for 2 Grand-daughter's years ago too for Christmas. As far as l know they still have them. I am also making for selling as well. Have 2 for sure ordering and one possible. Actually getting a table this year at our year doll show this year for the first time. I also make clothes for 14", 18" and baby doll clothes. Sewn, knitted and crocheted as well.

[@chouchoue]

If you wash the cotton first in hot water even by hand and let it dry, it will be slightly different afterwards. Might even be less stiff. These are great projects as usual!

[@heartsaliveart]

I love that last dress. I might have to try making it was just a plain brown or blue fabric. It has a medieval look to me.

[@MombiePlaysBarbie]

I have such a difficult time finding small print plaid. The one you used in fall colors is so cute!

[@MyFroggyStuff]

Thanks! I got that one from Joann’s a few years ago … I think 🤔 😅

[@Marialla.]

Try shopping the mens shirt department at your local thrift store! There are many quality fabrics there you can use for dolls.

[@carolblentlinger]

I got printable fabric and printed my own.

[@wyodestiney]

Look for handkerchiefs or napkins! They are smaller items so they have smaller prints.

[@aestheticrose5920]

9 dresses? Wow I’ll have a whole wardrobe after this video! 😀 Thanks toya hope you find an outfit to wear to your event

[@SharmClucas]

I love the DIY clothes, especially these no pattern ones. I have lots of 1/6th scale dolls that aren't Barbie, and they could use a little more fashion in their mini lives.

[@Marialla.]

For people who need it as easy as possible, I recommend making these dresses from T-shirt fabric, which will not fray so it doesn't necessarily need hemming. For a more glam look they do sell knit fabrics at the store that have shimmery prints on them! Tulle would also be good for the overskirts, and often comes with wonderful designs.

[@armrugatewood9110]

I have bought several Barbies lately, who naturally have no clothes! I’m so happy to have found your channel. You make it so easy to sew dresses with a rectangle and darts for a good fit. God bless You!!!

[@terriiii8785]

Thank you so very much for this video!!! I have 7 granddaughters and they all love barbie, and I love to sew simple stuff!!! This is a god send!!!

[@kathleenmccrory9883]

These are all adorable. Definitely going to try a few.

[@puttputtpiggies]

I agree with you

[@Monie71793]

💯🥰

[@TheGreatDeteciveClub59yrs]

Yeah totally!!!

[@ambermcgaha2472]

Get your “here within an hour ticket” right here. Love the looks!!

[@wh4t15th1s]

Well… I am before 2 years

[@kirstenvankirk3830]

I love your sewing videos, I grew up learning to sew from you, I’ve now made lots of dresses for the girl I babysit. She loves them and I have fun doing it for her!

[@aliberry1608]

I LOVE THIS. ima try all of them. i also love that you show when you made a mistake not just edited it out!

[@Marialla.]

I think the black and gold dress with asymmetrical skirt might be my favorite. But i'm also a HUGE fan of the silky dress with interchangeable bow and train! I can think of a lot of ways of using that technology!

[@djol695]

Really appreciate the way you explain everything!

[@beans7448]

these videos are so soothing for some reason

[@Mysticalightvids]

Love these mini doll dresses! Simple but also super fancy!! I would’ve loooved to see one more dress cause these ideas were so cool like I thought if you did make one it goes down at the kneecap level and then has a shirt that goes almost all the way down so then it make a seventh look where it’s a mermaid dress!

[@Marialla.]

That's a great idea! It would work with an even hem, or an asymmetrical one. It would look good floor length, or shorter. You could even make something similar to put around the waist, to look like a peplum skirt!

[@butterflymagicwithhottea9291]

It's always so much fun to watch you create and work through bumps/ mistakes.

[@ksaunders52kl]

I love these tutorials. I needed this so I can make some Christmas dresses for a friend’s dolls she use for a diorama. A little tip for you; when you are hemming a circle use a basting stitch around the edge, then you can pull up the basting thread so you don’t get those little tucks.

[@amycarleton5117]

Absolutely love all of these dresses! You are so creative, and talented. I think my favorite one was witch style costume you did with the dress.

[@newienlaigsingh8122]

Those dreses looks awsooooome

[@MyFroggyStuff]

Thank you so much

[@flywithdouaa8616]

All the dresses are amazing but the final one is incredible ❤❤

[@deannabarnes3771]

These were all nice. If you have enough leftover plaid, you can make mini Toya a shaket.

[@adrianaisabelzaratesoto9314]

Amazing!!!!!! Beautiful and easy to make I loved them all, especialy the one asimetrical one, congrats Toya loved your videos!!!!!!!

[@michaelab1603]

The shimmery purple dress is STUNNING , and when I saw the skirt/dress combo, I instantly thought it would make a great wedding dress with reception dress once the skirt is taken off. You are so talented, keep up the amazing work!

[@ForeverDolls8273]

They are so pretty 🤩🤩

[@popand_pastels6262]

This is actually perfect timing. I’ve been needing to make a dress, and these dresses are SO pretty! HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD!? 🧡🧋🧡

[@marikothecheetah9342]

I know I'm late but I just wanted to write that your ideas are incredible. You made me think about doing multiple-in-one clothing or even the whole sets that can be exchanged and mixed together. Your video is very nice to watch and I love how you included mistakes because for beginners it's good to know that sewing often requires redoing :D

[@princessaqua88]

I love them all especially the witch dress 🧙‍♀️

[@lynnmurphy1043]

You are amazingly talented and creative. You're not only a talented seamstress, but you are a talented instructor. Your style is so crisp and clean. 😃

[@MyFroggyStuff]

I'm 13 and I loved watching these crafts since I was 9

[@anaochoa6032]

I love the way you explained everything to make these beautiful doll dresses

[@billiedavis8755]

You make me laugh when you realize you skipped a step and growl at the fabric. That is totally me. I've done a few sock clothes for my Barbies; I have a petite and a curvy. I'm constantly underestimating the cloth, hence the petite girl has been the recipient of most of my projects. I am repurposing tee shirts and love working the jersey knit. I used some fuzzy socks and made a pajama/lounge set for petite girl. I have been acquiring several fat quarter patterns, but as of yet have not attempted any sewing. I like your idea of making a sheath dress and then adding separates to enhance the designs. You have lots of great ideas!

[@thatlovelydancerIlao]

Don't you hate it when you have to restart.. urgh🙄

Does anyone else only watch these for fun? 😅

That purple plaid one I need right now. But thank you for taking some of my anxiety off making doll clothes. I love rainbow/shadow high but there's not a lot of clothes options for them especially if you want something in a different color.

[@sacredpera2155]

These fashions are dope!!!! 🔥

[@Stardustceiling]

LOL Toya if you can do that so easily with scrap fabric and no pattern. Can you teach Mattel to do it too? You show that it's not that hard or that expensive to have great doll clothes. Those outfits are so much better than most of the Barbie fashions that have come out for the past few years, with a few exceptions. 😉

[@Marialla.]

But Mattel has to mass produce a doll dress every minute. They can't take the time to pinch and tailor like a home sewist can.

[@seleneent]

@@Marialla. Im pretty sure this comment is a joke telling toya how good she is-

[@Stardustceiling]

@@Marialla. No, you're right Marialla. And I may complain about Mattel, but they're the company I mostly buy from. I just meant that if Toya can make stylish looking clothes like that so easily. Then I think Mattel could put out a few too. Even without the tailoring, they still could try a little harder to give us something pretty to buy. I just miss when you could buy the good looking fashions in a fashion pack from Mattel to dress the dolls in. I don't know your age, so you may not remember this. But Mattel used to make this fashions line called "Fashion Avenue" and they were pretty special looking. Kind of like Toya's dresses.💖
