These are the instructions on how to embroider and assemble
the Rose
Jacket for 18" dolls.
|
|
|
First of all, 18-inch dolls come in several different builds. We
offer clothes in two sizes. Read about how to choose the correct
size for your doll.
|
|
| We made one of the jackets out of fleece and the second one out of
thin terry-cloth. We used very thin film-like water-soluble stabilizer
and 40-weight rayon embroidery threads. |
|
Step One: For one jacket, embroider
two back parts;
the left and the right front parts;
two sleeves.
Tear away the stabilizer and dissolve the remainder. Air dry the pieces,
then press. Trim the fabric, leaving at least 1/2" around each design for
seam allowance. |
| Step Two: First, stitch the back parts together. |
|
| Then make the shouder seams, attaching the front parts to the back. |
|
| Next, attach the sleeves. There are two marks on the sleeve and there
is a mark on the front. To attach the sleeve, make the marks meet. It's
not easy to stitch the curves.You can choose to attach sleeves either manually
or on your machine. |
|
| Now fold the workpiece in half down the center of the sleeves and with
one seam stitch to connect the sleeves and the front and the back. |
| Step Four: The jacket is basically ready. Attach thin pieces
of Velcro tape to the front. Now you can decorate it as you wish. We added
a fluffy trim to decorate the white terry-cloth jacket. |
|
|
For the grey fleece jacket, we just cut the raw edges into a fringe.
|
|
|
The doll outfits are ready. Enjoy!
