And, to share his knowledge so freely with we sewers is even more endearing. His kind nature and soft-spoken demeanor has made a forever fan out of me! Thank you to Rachel Hoffman for sharing this video to the KZbin world.

Hi( Bobby) Robert! From Indiana, a long time ago! I remember when we would ride the school bus home( a looong bus ride), you were my next door( down the gravel country road) neighbor & you would sketch doll dresses for me all the way home!!! You would make BEAUTIFUL dresses for your sister! I was so in awe of your talent, even then, & I loved those pictures so much! I knew you were so talented & would go far! So proud of your achievements then & now! ❤️

I love watching people make doll patterns because I can use pretty much all the same knowledge scaled up to make my own clothes. It's just something about seeing it done on a smaller scale that makes the techniques click in my mind and help me to understand. Even more so seeing a professional at work!

I so wish Robert would make a whole series on doll pattern design/making - I'd buy it for sure! Delving into all of this knowledge is amazing. I'd like to see how, once it has a satisfactory fir, how you transfer this to paper with lean lines and then digitalize it. I'd also like to know how to adapt this for the various-sized dolls available. Yes, I'm into doll pattern making, this is the best teaching I have found. I am hoping there will be more to follow - make it a paying teaching course, I'd be a student for sure! Thank you so much for this!

That was amazing. I never thought much about how they make patterns for doll clothes. I just figured it was much simpler than "HUMAN" clothes. But the detail is so much the same. It seems very complicated. The people you see on YT, etc...that alter clothes, and patterns don't have the knowledge this man has. I think they just learned the HOW to make simple changes, but never learned the WHY. Which is always what I want o know. WHY WHY WHY...I just never stopped asking that. Dolls don't complain, so the market is easier.. LOL. THANK YOU, AND this lovely man for taking time to teach us. He is a real gem. 💎💓

I remember watching this video a while ago but didn’t tag it. I’ve just re-found it and so pleased (I’ve saved it this time!) Robert Tonner seems like such a lovely person - so kind to share his knowledge with us lesser mortals. The world just that little more tolerable with people like him in it! I have two Tonner dolls - Deja Vu Evening Loveliness (sadly has to stay in her box as the traffic by my house creates so much dirt in the air) and a Tyler Wentworth, bought undressed on eBay and in desperate need of clothes - which is why I wanted to find this video again. Will practice on some Barbies and Gene Marshall bodies first!

I'm a Groove/Jun Planning doll collector and I love having variety in bodies and sizes. I use different sized Obitsus, Pureneemos, stock bodies... They are very different between each other, I'm always struggling while making my own patterns so this is a big step for me. I'm starting to learn how to sew, not the greatest at it, but happy with what I accomplished so far. I'm learning by myself so I often get stuck until I find a solution lol Hearing him say that he has all this knowledge and nobody wants to know about it made me sad! I do! This was sooo helpful and clear to understand. Great teaching and so talented! Thank you so much for sharing! ♡

I've never owned a Robert Tonner doll but I will say ever since I was 5 years old I've had a love for dolls I think what really did it was seeing Child's Play/Chucky. Having a love for the character led me to dive deeper behind the scenes! How much work and designing the clothes making multiple head sculpts made me want to start customizing dolls myself. It's a shame for something so detailed and time-consuming it seems like the doll community is still very small in a way it's kinda cool to be the only person in the friend group that customizes dolls though. Anyway I love this tutorial I honestly want to meet Robert now 😂 he seems pretty cool

The most important lesson I've learned is that there's always more to learn. Every time I watch Robert, I always learn more. He continues to be my inspiration and reminds me why i love dolls so much. There are so many skills to incorporate with dolls. Clothes, hair, jewelry, props, stories, photography. The Power of Play times ten!!!!! Thank you Robert Tonner for the joy you've given me (and all your fans) all these wonderful years. And OMG for bringing back Ellowyne and introducing Neema!! Whoop!!!! Whoop!!!!!!!

What a great video, I would pay good money for this type of tutorial as there are very few out there for drafting the patterns for dolls, so finding it here on KZbin is an absolute treat. Thankyou

I've been sewing doll clothes for decades now and can draft a simple pattern just by look and measurements, but I do like the draping techniques he's using. For more complex patterns, it's much more accurate and gives greater control. He's also totally right about darts. XD They're more complex than many beginning sewers know, even though they are incredibly useful. When you don't feel like doing a princess seam, a dart is your friend. If you haven't ripped out a seam, or bled on the piece, you're not sewing. XD The number of times I've jabbed myself with a pin or a needle...

THank you for the video rachel, i just started collecting Tonner dolls and I purchased one from I believe the cinderella line her name is Hortencia according to the description and i think she's the first curvier Tonner doll. she has this beautiful super copper red hair hat's styled like a french fashion bru doll which was one of the many reasons i grabbed her. This video was very helpful because i want to make her some lovely clothes since she came with this lovely black corset under pinning type outfit and since she has the hair style i want to make her look like a french fashion version of a Tonner doll.
