How to sew a dress and hat for a Barbie doll- Master Class Zagainova Alina Stanislavovna.

Parents do not always have the opportunity to buy their child an expensive doll with a set of clothes. But any mother can easily sew it herself, which her daughter loves so much! And you don’t need to know the basics of cutting and sewing. This dress has a very simple cut. Such clothes can be sewn without a pattern. There will be no hassle with the hat either, if you follow all the instructions.

For this you will need:

pieces of fabric,
scissors,
threads,
centimeter,
chalk or pencil
and, of course, sewing machine. Although this dress can be sewn by hand.

First you need to take measurements from the doll. We measure the width of the chest.

For dolls of this type, the proportions of the front and back vary greatly, but this is not a hindrance to our style. Chest width – 8 cm.

Measure the distance for the neckline.

Find out the distance from the shoulder to the high point of the chest so that you can make darts on the dress later.

How to sew a dress for Barbie

Take a fabric measuring approximately 16 x 16 cm. Fold it into four layers. If you are sewing a ball gown, take a longer piece.

Place 1 cm horizontally from the center and 0.5 cm downwards. Draw a neckline. Measure 7 cm horizontally from the center - these will be the sleeves. Downwards, set aside a distance equal to the width of the sleeve, approximately 4 cm. Below from the fold, set aside 5 cm horizontally. This is the width of the chest plus 1 cm for the seam. Draw as shown in the photo.

Cut along the lines.

Unfold the fabric and fold it only vertically. Deepen the neckline a little at the front.

Unfold the cut. Cut the back in the middle.

Using a zigzag stitch, sew along the edges of the sleeves, the neckline and the middle of the back. On one side of the cut along the back, fold the fabric 1 cm to the front side and sew one piece of Velcro. Do not sew the remaining center edge of the fabric yet. On the other half of the back, sew the second part of the Velcro, but on the wrong side. Now the dress is fastened at the back with an overlap.

Fold the shelf with the back and sew the sides with a half-centimeter seam, and make it a little wider at the bottom. Finish the seams with a zigzag.

Give the doll the first fitting. Put the blouse on her inside out. Mark the dart locations with a pen or chalk. Sew up the darts.

Give the doll another try-on. Since the doll’s back is much shorter than the front, you trim the back a little, leaving a 5 mm margin for the seam at the bottom of the bodice.

Press all seams.

Make a skirt blank. Take a piece of fabric 9x35 cm. Use a zigzag stitch to stitch the edges of the future skirt.

Loosen the upper thread tension on the machine. Along the edge of the upper part, lay two lines at a distance of 2-3 mm from each other.

Tie the threads on one side with knots so that they do not come undone. And on the other side, pull the lower thread, making a large gathering. The top of the skirt and Bottom part bodice should be the same length.

Pull out the bottom thread from the second line as well. Secure them together. Do not cut them until you have sewn the skirt and bodice.

Fold both parts of the dress and machine stitch with a 5 mm seam.

Make sure that the folds on the skirt lie evenly and are not caught by the stitching. Try the dress on the doll. If everything turned out fine, finish the seam with a zigzag.

Now complete the clasp on the dress. Fold the edge of the fabric in the same way as at the top. Sew the second Velcro at the waist. Do not fold the fabric on the other side of the fastener. Place stitches from the neckline to the bottom of the dress.

The dress is ready.

How to sew a hat

Measure the circumference of the doll's head. For standard Barbie it is 10 cm. So, take a strip of fabric 4x12 cm. Fold it lengthwise. Sew along the very edge so that it does not unfold.

Make a hoop out of it, fastening the joints with a needle.

Take a piece of fabric and fold it in half, right side up. Place a strip on it.

Trace along the contour, immediately making seam allowances of 0.3 cm.

Machine stitch along the edge of the circle so that the parts do not move.

Now cut it out.

To cut out the brim of the hat, take a square piece of fabric approximately 13x13 cm. Fold it in four layers. Attach a circle, also folded, to its center.

Mark its edge. Draw the outline of the future hat, making the brim about 3.5 cm wide. Remove the circle and cut out the middle, but make it half a centimeter smaller.

To sew the bottom to the side, place it on top of a double strip of fabric, leaving a small tail for side seam.

Sew by machine. Try it on. If everything is in order, then process the seam with a zigzag. Stitch the sides of the strip.

Iron it. All that remains is to dress up Barbie in some new clothes.

We sew our own dress and hat

We need to take:

a piece of fabric;
scissors;
threads;
centimeter;
pencil;
sewing machine.

We first take measurements from our doll. Pre-measure your chest circumference. The proportions in the front and back vary greatly, but for any style this is not such a big problem. On average, the values do not exceed 8 centimeters. Then measure the length to the neck, and then from the shoulder to the highest mark of the chest. This is necessary for the dart.

Sewing method

Take the simplest one beautiful fabric measuring 16 by 16 centimeters. It must be folded in four layers. Set aside one cm from the center, and 0.5 cm from the bottom. Further down, you should set aside about four cm per sleeve. From the fold horizontally on the bottom side, mark 5 cm - this will be the width of the chest and 1 cm for the seam.

There is a photo of a Barbie dress that shows this process in detail, if you were unable to assimilate the written information, preferring visual examples.

Next, the pattern is cut along specific lines. You must first open the fabric and then fold it vertically. The neckline should be made deeper for your convenience when working. When unfolding the entire cut, you must carefully cut it into two parts at the back.

The seam is placed in a zigzag pattern from the edge of the sleeves. On one side of the back you need to bend the fabric 1 cm, and then sew a piece of Velcro there. There is no need to stitch the rest from the edge. You just need to sew a second Velcro inside out on the other side. A DIY dress for a Barbie doll will be carefully fastened after all the procedures.

After this, the shelf is folded with the back in order to stitch the sides with a seam not exceeding a centimeter. From the bottom side, you can widen everything by finishing all the seams cleanly. Now you can begin the first fitting directly on the doll.

The blouse is put on with the back side facing out. You must mark all the dart locations and then stitch them. A second fitting is also necessary due to the fact that the back is much shorter than the chest. Trim all unnecessary elements, leaving a margin of no more than 5 millimeters for seams, which must first be ironed.

At the end, the skirt is prepared. Usually they take fabric 10 by 35 cm. All cuts are framed with a special seam. The top thread should be slightly loosened in order to subsequently lay two lines there, 2-3 mm apart from each other. Tie the strings into knots so that nothing comes undone anywhere.

On the other hand, pull the thread to create a neat gather. The top and bottom of the skirt are obtained by proper operation identical in length. If the skirt and bodice are sewn down, then the threads at the bottom can be cut.

The two parts of the dress are folded and sewn with a 5 mm seam. Beautiful dresses for Barbie are characterized by the fact that the folds on them do not stand out, being evenly located over the entire surface. At each stage, play it safe by constantly trying it on, because it won’t take much extra time.

After all the intricacies, think about the fastening element. Usually, this is ordinary Velcro, only at the waist. You need to do it by analogy with the top.

Sew a hat

You can, of course, knit a dress for Barbie, but this requires a more serious approach. For now, we’ll tell you how to quickly and effectively work on a headdress – a hat. Naturally, first they measure the circumference of the head - everything is like with people. Usually it does not exceed 10 centimeters.

In this case, the fabric is prepared 4 by 12 cm. It is stitched along the edge so that nothing unfolds. Then a hoop is created, connecting the joint with a needle. Fold the fabric in half so that the front part is facing up. Put a stripe on the whole thing. Everything is outlined along the contours, allowing a third of a centimeter for the seam. The parts should not move, stitching all the elements along the edges. It's time for cutting.

The fields are selected in the following way. Take a square piece of fabric about 13 by 13 cm, fold it 4 times, and then apply a solid circle in the center. All edges are marked, and then the central part is cut out after you remove the circle. The bottom is applied on top so that it can be easily sewn to the side.

Don't forget to leave a tail for the side seam. Machine stitching solves all subsequent problems by processing the seams in a zigzag manner. The margins are stitched along the edge, which is why there is no shifting. The upper part is inserted in the center.

Make sure there are no folds or excess space. Outline everything well, and then sew it together. Here is such a simple and modern dress pattern for Barbie. There is nothing complicated here for a caring mother.

We cut out a rectangle for the skirt with a side equal to the length and width approximately equal to three waist sizes or more, if you want fluffy dress, also adding to the seams.
