Fashions for Small Dolls: For 7-Inch, 8-Inch, 9-Inch, 10-Inch and 12-Inch Dolls (18 Cm, 20Cm, 23 Cm, 25 Cm and 31 Cm (Creative Crafters)

Rosemarie Ionker's beautiful doll clothes are famous for details like smocking and embroidery. Her designs have been sold through "Boneka/Petite Creations" and have been featured on high quality collector dolls. I have long considered these clothes the finest the doll world has to offer, so I was thrilled to find her latest book of patterns tailored for small dolls.This book has patterns for dolls that are 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 inches tall. Almost half of the book is filled with pages and pages of patterns, drawn simply and clearly labeled for each size doll and by the pattern piece. There are also many pages of stunning photographs showing off Ionker's completed creations. The text is high quality and to the point. She offers tips for pattern adjustments as well general sewing tips, information on fabrics and embellishments, and, of course, directions on how to use/assemble the patterns.The patterns in this book are for dolls representing children, and not adult proportioned fashion dolls. There are pattern pieces to clothe both boy and girl dolls. The dolls shown in this book range from Ginny, to Wendy Lawton's 9 inch dolls, to small porcelain, vinyl and wood dolls. Ionker will let you know how to clothe them all, with photographs documenting the differences and directions on how to find the right fit.I would recommend this book for those seamstresses who have had at least some experience sewing. Sewing for small dolls requires some special tricks and a lot of patience! Ionker's work, though, can inspire and direct those advanced beginners to making more detailed clothing for small dolls.

Love the hand embrodiery and patterns. The photos are beautiful. This is for someone with advanced sewing experience.

Beautiful clothes with beautiful pix. Patterns in several sizes, and shows you how to modify some of the patterns to make different clothing items. However, extremely skimpy on instructions. Someone with only moderate skills would find this very difficult to follow. Pieces cut from the patterns fit together very well.

The book is beautiful and there is a wealth of information concerning different sizes and body types of dolls. I wish there were more detailed instructions concerning the actual sewing. The instruction section seems to assume you already have her first book or are an experienced seamstress. For instance, she has a drawing on pg. 86, labelled "How to make narrow bias tubing for ties or shoulder straps" but no text accompanies the drawing! I'm glad I purchased it and will definately learn from it.

So many cute little outfits in this book its hard to choose where to start. Outfits do turn out beautifully. Expensive but worth every penny. Received the book from seller quickly and as described. Highly recommed!

This is an excellent book with lots of ideas for dressing small dolls along with patterns. I would recommend this book to any doll collector for their library. I would purchase from this seller again.

Very pleased

beautifully illustrated and filled with incredible patterns and variations - typical Ionker. Delivery was fast and the book is in perfect new condition.

great book
