Book Reviews of Two-Hour Dolls' Clothes (Two-hour Crafts)
Book Review: absolutely love it, but not really for the very new beginner.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been sewing since i was a little girl, using regular vogue, simplicity, butterick, and mccalls patterns, mostly for doll clothes., this is the first book i've tried. I LOVE the freedom of it, how simplistic the patterns are. I've always been a stickler for authenticity and never really admired whimsy, this book really changed that. This book showed me how using fun whimsical fabrics can really add personality to a doll. Anyway, I found it really easy to use, but i'm a very experianced sewer of doll clothing. The instructions really weren't very clear, I didn't really see how you could make anything of lasting value using the no-sew methods that were also included. But my very favorite part of all was that by combining pattern peices you can make literally THOUSANDS of different designs for almost any size doll, included are patterns sized 12" to 18", I've enlarged them to fit 22" dolls and shrunk to 8" dolls and it worked alright. (with a little fine tuning), I've made some beautiful things using this book, and I also like how the clothes are arranged in seasons.
