@@creating1_c1999 I do the same with Barbie patterns. I use different pieces from different patterns to make something unique out of them. I am sure you do the same.

Making tiny clothes is not an easy thing to do. I plan to make a video on the subject in the near future. Thanks for watching 🤗 🌺
Thank you for sharing this with all of us.. I've been searching for over several weeks now, on how to alter or find doll patterns for a 27" doll I recently purchased. Your insight just gave me all the ideas I was thinking of but didn't know how to put into practise.
You are getting so good at this. The whole sitting on the floor thing I can relate I sit on the floor but I have to do this like roll and use my arms to get up so I don't hurt my knees. 46 years old this so much fun. A lot of times I will buy clothes that are my size but are little big and I'll alter them period and use leftover fabric to make outfit for my dolls.
I can relate. I buy clothes at yard sales and thrift stores to make doll clothes. It can make sewing easier if you are able to use the original hems and so forth. Hugs, jagged sister. 🍸🙂🌹
@@BJDBeautifullyJaggedDolls I'm like you the lazy seamstress. If the ends are finished I'm all like jackpot. The bottom of old jeans are Fab when making jeans of dolls. I make them all distressed or sew little things on them..
Oh, you clever girl! I would never have thought of using those little pictures! I have loads of sewing patters (I sew large scale as well as doll scale), so I have plenty to work with. I can sympathise with the floor issues - I'm now so old that if I end up on the floor, I look around to see if there is anything else I can do whilst I am down there!😂
Oh girl, you gonna have fun using your normal patterns to make doll clothes now. I plan to make some tutorial videos on doll clothes after Halloween. 😅 LOL on the looking around for anything else to do while on the floor. I usually just look for something I can use to lift myself off the floor...😂😅 Thanks for watching💖
This is SUCH a fantastic idea! Thank you so much for this! I have a huge collection of patterns that I thought I couldn't use & am currently on Etsy looking up for patterns for dolls. This is absolutely perfect for anyone who wants to make things for themselves & their dolls.
Thanks, glad it was helpful. As high priced as patterns are, this idea can save you a lot of money. I've made a lot of doll clothes doing this. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
Please let me know if and how it works out for you. I have been wanting to do a video on how to make the booties. I made a pattern and plan to list it for a free download on our site but life always seems to get in the way. I'll get around to it. Thanks for watching 😀🌹
You are extremely welcome. After working on this video for three days, you have no idea how happy that makes me. I hope you will subscribe and become a part of this jagged doll family. 😀🍷🍸🍻
Yay! You made the BJD blueprint video. I only now saw it and just had to watch it. I'm kind of disappointment that my country doesn't have readily available clothing patterns(I check regularly, no luck). Hell, we hardly have second hand stores. But I'm sure there is plenty of free pattern online that I can tweak. Thank you so much for this. I love it. 😊
Sorry to hear you don't have ready made sewing patterns, but yes there are plenty of free patterns online. Have fun and let me know how it turns out. (HUGS) 🍷🌹🙃 By the way, to buy old patterns online here are some good sites, Momspatterns.com (they have some patterns as low as $1.00) & oldpatterns.com
This is a fantastic idea! Thank you so much! Some patterns have instructions printed in a booklet that is perfect for 1/6 scale size, so all you need to do is photocopy the booklet with no image manipulation required. The other option is just tracing straight onto tracing paper.
So glad you liked the video and find it helpful. Shrinking patterns is a great way to get cheap doll patterns for all dolls. I even enlarge Barbie patterns for 1/4 & 1/3 scale BJD dolls. Thanks for watching 😀🌺
Let me know if this works for you. It takes a little adjusting the size to satisfaction but it works for me. If it doesn't work for you, I might have some suggestions to help. Thanks for watching. 💖😊
I can’t wait to try this! I bought some patterns for my Rainbow High dolls just because their body proportions are more junior petite and it’s hard to translate patterns to their exact body type, but I want to try this now! Maybe teen oriented patterns would work for teen dolls and child patterns might work for baby or 1/6 scale BJDs that are more chubby and baby like ❤️ Can’t wait to try out my new ideas!
Thanks for watching. Let me know how it works out for you. One day, when I get the time, I plan to show how make some clothes using patterns this way. 😊
Ah ha...I've gave you a reason to pull out those old patterns....Haha. Have fun and do some mixing and matching. Let me know how it comes out. You gonna have fun...hehe. 😇🌹🍷🍸🍺

Hi! I was curious also regarding the age of the newspaper. I saw it had the obituary of William E. Boeing. He died in September, 1956. How fun finding that old newspaper clipping/pattern!
Wow, I did a google search and he was an American Aviator and founder of the Boeing Company here in St. Louis He indeed he died in 1956. That certainly explains the date of the newspaper. Ah, a little investigating goes a long way. Thanks for pointing that out. 🌻😊
If you can't scan, remember in the video I showed you how to take a picture on your phone and send it to your computer. It works as well. I've done both.
IrfanView is an image viewer, editor, organiser and converter program for Microsoft Windows. It can also play video and audio files, and has some image creation and painting capabilities, and it is free. It's kind of that "wow" program. That's cool to know Booties are called Ugg boots in Australia. Here in the states, Ugg is a boot brand and have rubber type soles. Thanks for watching and sharing information. I love learning new things in the comments. 💜😊
@@BJDBeautifullyJaggedDolls Yes Ugg boots have rubber soles and lambs wool They originated here and I think there was a fight over using their brand name elsewhere. Thanks for clarifying the IrfanView the subtitles probably was the error culprit ( EarthenView)
I was thinking about this technique before and I also was thinking of using soft craft felt with a needleless sewing machine, but there's not many results that I can see to know how it will look for some patterns and on super small dolls to use it since some patterns I make myself.
I seriously do not know what a needleless sewing machine is. Shrinking and enlarging patterns this way is something I do a lot. I switch pattern pieces to make unique clothes and make my own patterns. This technic works with small dolls as well. Give it a try. I know you will love it. Be sure you download the free printing program. Thanks for watching and let me know how it goes. 💖😊
I'm sure I understand the question so I apologize if I give the wrong answer. This video is about taking any pattern you have and shrinking it down to make clothes for your dolls. I hope this helps. If not, I don't mind you asking again. 😊
Wool felt is a step up from craft felt and is more expensive. The square felt I showed in the video was craft felt. Sorry, I cut out the part that explained more about the felt to use in the next video and now see I shouldn't have. I plan to discuss it more in the video where I show how I made the coat and booties. The first felt I showed in the video, the smoke gray one is felt made with wool and sold by the yard. The squares are craft felt and are a lot cheaper., however, you can buy craft felt by the yard as well. Thanks for watching. Super glad you are excited for an upcoming video. Yay! (HUGS) 🌹🍷
@@BJDBeautifullyJaggedDolls Sorry to have jumped the gun about the felt :-( Glad to hear that you can use craft felt, though. It's all I have (I've been spending too much money on AliExpress *cough* *cough*). Really am excited to watch a real seamstress show us how to sew. I'm rubbish LOL I'm particularly bad at joining sleeves at the underarm bit (and you would die laughing at my sewing of in between the legs in trousers *blush*) so it's going to be amazing to see how it is done. Will there be any chance of buying a download of the pattern, Belinda? That would be so awesome.
@@storyteller3927 You have nothing to apologize about. You did not jump the gun about anything. I didn't explain that and that is one on me not you. Mainly what you will learn from me, is what not to do. I've been sewing for like ever, but still have a lot to learn. My mom made all our clothes before we were teenagers, she is an outstanding seamstress. She taught me and my two older sisters, when we were old enough to hold a needle ( you noticed I didn't say, "old enough not to stick ourselves with a needle, because I still do that and a lot.) how to sew. 😪My oldest sister is very good at it, the middle sister can't sew and I get by. Funny how that works out...LOL. It is a dying craft and that makes me sad. Everyone should know how to sew at least a little bit. I am excited to show you guys how I made the coat and booties and to get suggestions for those who really know what they are doing. 💖😊
@@storyteller3927 Sorry, but I can't sell or download the pattern because it is trademarked and copyrighted. However, I might be able to make a pattern and have it on my blog for you to print out. I could do one for the coat too. I'll work on it and see what I can come up with. 💖😊
@@BJDBeautifullyJaggedDolls You'd do that? That is really brilliant! It's been so difficult to find patterns that fit. Of course, I can buy full size now thanks to you!
Wow. Just wow! Gotta agree with Sailor Crafty: this really is a game changer. Great something else I need to start collecting :-/ I've managed to scale UP a couple of Barbie patterns to both MSD and SD size but never thought to use human adult patterns because, I dunno, I guess I didn't realise that they were true-to-scale miniature pictures of the real pattern pieces. I have LOTS of AG/OG (18") patterns but just haven't found a way to make them work for the more hourglass figure of the BJD's. If you have any tips, I'm all ears.
I would recommend scaling down the AG/OG pattern first. It should work just fine. If you want the more hourglass shape, you might try adding darts or tucks. Let me know if this works and what doesn't and if you have any suggestions you discover once you've done it. Thanks for watching. I'm so glad you liked this idea. I plan to do some videos where I show how to scale down the pattern, cut it out and make the item. Let me know if you would like to see that kind of video 🧡😊
@@BJDBeautifullyJaggedDolls Of course I'd love to see this kind of video. Clothes are waaaay to expensive to buy for dolls :) I've tried a few times but failed on the AG/OG to BDJ fitting.

I've tried a few times but failed on the AG/OG to BDJ fitting.
Would love to know how you scaled up Barbie
😳😳😳😳😳
Thanks for watching! 🌹
@@BJDBeautifullyJaggedDolls thank you for sharing 🥰
Hi! First
Congrats! I hope you enjoy the videos. 😊💖
@@BJDBeautifullyJaggedDolls I do! :)
@@BJDBeautifullyJaggedDolls I do cuz your being real. Not acting all wholesome and fake. Plus were kindred jagged sister's.
You are a genius. Thank you soooo much. I just got my first bjd and love this idea. Definitely subscribed to your channel.
Thank you and welcome to the Jagged family!💜 Congrats on your first BJD. 😍Nothing ever compares to your first, except for your second and third and... Okay who am I kidding, they are all great!!
