Book Reviews of Sew the International Wardrobe for 18-Inch Dolls

Book Review: Best Author for 18-inch dolls Clothing!
Summary: 5 Stars

I LOVE this book. I bought this book because I wanted to make the Russian and Irish costumes for my daughter's dolls. I have NEVER sewed doll clothes before this. The patterns are SO easy and I was able to make several of the costumes from fabric scraps about the house.

I have since made MANY doll clothes and after this book had the confidence to purchase some of the commercial patterns. After working with the commercial patterns, I REALLY started to appreciate the clarity and ease of Joan Hinds patterns (and the FIT - they fit the dolls 100%). Some people don't like the pattern paper, but I always trace them onto poster board and that way I get a durable patterns for years to come (and on poster board, the kids can trace them out onto the cloth easier too!).

I have since purchased several of her books and love them all. I love all the photos and the easy directions. If you are new to sewing doll clothes or just new to sewing, this is a great book to get you up and running!

Summary of Sew the International Wardrobe for 18-Inch Dolls

Among the best-selling dolls on the market today are the charming 18-inch dolls by American Girls, Faithful Friends, and others. The fun of owning these wonderful dolls is dressing them in a variety of outfits. Now home sewers can take their dolls around the world without leaving their sewing rooms.

A great value, this book includes full-size tissue-paper pattern sheets for 16 authentic ethnic outfits from Norway, Ireland, Mexico, Italy, China, Japan, Germany, and more. Buying the patterns individually (if you could find them!) would cost much more and the complete instructions and helpful illustrations included assure well-fitting, and attractive results.

- Full-size tissue patterns for 16 ethnic costumes (a great value!)
- Complete step-by-step instructions with helpful illustrations
- Beautiful color photos
- Fascinating historical details about the countries and costumes
