Drafting a shirt pattern to fit your doll
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 дек 2016
- We covered drafting a pattern for leggings a while back, so the next step is learning to draft a pattern for a matching shirt. This tutorial will show you how to draft a base pattern for a t-shirt to fit your doll. Since it's a base pattern, you may need to tweak your prototype for a perfect fit. We'll cover ideas for tailoring to fit a specific doll another time. :)
If you need help putting the finished pattern together, don't forget to check out my older videos to see instructions for sewing a t-shirt for your doll.
Happy sewing, and don't forget to show me what you make!

I have been sewing for 50 years (!) and this is the best tutorial. Really helped me understand how to draft a pattern. If you are having trouble following, watch it again and do it step by step, stopping the video while you complete each step. I have never tried to draft a pattern before, except by tracing an old garment I have cut apart, but I found this very helpful if I work along with her. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
You can also slow down the play back
@@womensarmycorpsveteran2904 I salute you for serving
I’ve bought books to learn to draft…it took her 4min to show me what I couldn’t grasp with all those books! Everything!! You are an amazing teacher! Please do more! Pants and skirt blocks too pleaaaaaaaase!
Thank you so much for your kind words. Here's pants ;) I put it off for a long time because they're persnickety, but I did make it.

Hi! I love your videos. I do still have problems with the collar. I take the neck measurement and divide it by four...but it is too big in the front, especially for a Peter Pan collar for example. Any ideas?
For viewers who may be struggling to keep up, I recommend watching this on a computer. There's an option on the desktop version of RUclips that lets you slow down videos. Hope this helps :) I recently finished my one-billionth attempt at creating a pattern for my doll based entirely off of trial and error and it fits pretty well and looks decent, but only for casual tees. I have to try this method! I want to be able to make very nice clothes for my dolls I think this will really help me. Now I'm itching to sew and design clothes!
I appreciate that I am not the only one who would like a slower explanation. My phone take the speed down but still not enough.
I havnt a computer and I slowed speed down and done it along with you brilliant tutorial
Shoot-dang, you can actually slow down RUclips videos on the app (mobile devices) now!
Great idea! You can slow it down on the mobile app too. Press the gear in the top corner of the video, and then press "playback speed" toward the bottom.
I’ve been sewing for over 24 years. I’ve always on wanted to sew for my Barbies,
but was always too intimidated to do so. But this really made a lot of sense to me.
I'm so glad it was helpful!
As a beginner with pattern drafting, this was so easy to follow and very well explained. I was a little confused with the neckline measurements since I’m making it for barbies and I wasn’t sure which measurement you mentioned would match, but I think I figured it out. Thank you so much!
I am able to learn so much easier from your pattern making videos (for dolls), than I am able to learn from human-sized ones! You are very clear and helpful
Ah, thank you!! I'm really glad my videos are useful. I always thought human pattern drafting would be easier because it's bigger, but personally, I think it's much more complicated making something full-sized!
Oh my! This is a complete pattern making course and you give it free - you have made my day, my week and more! I have new FID dolls, one male and one female, but there are so little patterns around for them as yet. They both will now have a summer set coming up thanks to you. This is a wonderful solution that can be applied to all of my dolls with these principles! Thank you so very much!
Oh, thank you so much for your kind words!!
Bought a doll to practice my sewing. this is the best video have seen so far thanks
this is exactly what I was looking for. thank you for this amazing resource
You're welcome! I had several requests for this tutorial, so I'm really glad it will be useful for you!
I like that your tutorial is really way more precise than some other i found~
I studied architecture and needed to start making patterns for my dolls. This was great.
Great tutorial!! I just started making doll clothes. I really need a curved ruler now! (and hopefully, a sewing machine!) Thanks for sharing!
I hate math, but I love this video so much. It’s so clear, and you explain it perfectly. I’m trying this tonight. Thank you so much !!! Definitely subscribing .
Thank you so much
This is without a doubt the best explanation of drafting I've ever seen! Thank you so much for making this video❤
Great video! I'm going to have to rewatch it 100 times to catch all the detail. Thanks for sharing your talent!
I will be following this tutorial, but instead of paper I’ll be drafting in illustrator. Thank you for this great step-by-step 💜
That's a great way to do it! Especially because then it's really easy to scale for other sizes. I'm glad you found it useful!
Excellent! Best drafting pattern tutorial that I have ever seen. Thank you
I have a sewing machine but don't know how to make patterns and your tutorial is really helpful. Thank you for sharing!
I am SO GLAD you SPOKE CLEARLY, throughout this video.
Unfortunately, I had a STROKE in 2015, and my brain has been damaged.
But, all of the EXPERTS watching, are gonna be so PLEASED!
THIS IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS, or stroke victems!
I'm just trying to give my 15" Halloween skeleton door decoration a better jacket. The factory gave him 'scarecrow' attire. Not appropriate. My loved ones will be dressed better.
She talks a little fast but if you play the video again you get it. She's good. I learned how to sew as a child. learning to make pattern is cool. Thanks.
Mystic Kids Lillian! I recently bought one of these lovely girls off Facebook and am waiting (impatiently... lol) for her to get here. Should be home tomorrow!
This video is amazing. I tried so many videos yo stitch clothes for my daughter. Only this one is helpful honestly
Thanks so much for sharing, this is ah great help as I make doll clothes, an most of the time, there aren't patterns to fit, this helps greatly!
thank you so much for this video. i'm ashamed that, as a costume design student, i couldn't figure out how to do this.
Aw, don't feel bad! I was actually stunned at how much research I had to do to learn to make something so basic. It's like they teach you everything else under the sun before they show you how to make a simple shirt. Crazy! Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
you do such a great job!!! these videos are so helpful! Thank you
You're welcome! I'm glad they help :)
So that's how you measure for a sleeve... I did a complete guessing work when I came up with my patterns. I'm planning on doing some videos like this to show how I came up with my patterns for net year line up of videos...but your method seems really easy. I use 1/4 inch allowance too.
I'm definitely curious how you ended up doing it! As long as it works, I'm not sure there is a wrong way to do it, you know? Different things work better for different people, so it's good to have options. ^^
This is awesome. It helped me understand how to make a tshirt for my ken doll
I ignored math homework for this but
Ha, and then I made you do math to draft a pattern!
I knew it was Lillian !! This is so cool as Lillian was my first BJD - thanks for the video !
I have an obitsu pullip and measuring her has never been this easy. Thank you
Thank you very much that you make a good video clip like this to publish At least it allowed me to find an easier way to create patterns.
Thank you so much! I am new to sewing and this tutorial is so fabulous! Can you please tell me if you have a follow-up video to this one to actually sew with this drafted pattern? Do I simply trace this pattern on a cloth and cut it? Then how/what do I sew?
Yup, once you have your pattern, it's time to pick fabric, trace and cut! How the shirt goes together depends on whether or not you choose to leave an opening in the back, which is helpful for very small dolls. You can see how to sew a shirt with an open back here: ruclips.net/video/8qhnJ_RQUcs/видео.html
And you can see how to sew one with no opening here: ruclips.net/video/unu91ucV-yQ/видео.html
There will be some variances because every pattern is slightly different, but the basics are always the same. :) Hope that helps!
Thank you! I'm having terrible trouble finding patterns for my My Twinn doll. This will help me make her some nice clothes too!
Wow! I so appreciate you making this video. Been looking for a way to draw my own pattern. + super clear instructions. You're a pro Lomi ;)
Aw, thank you! I'm glad it was helpful!
This is amazing. Thank you so much! do you have a video where you put it all together?
I've assembled a few different types of t-shirts in videos so far! There's the style with no closure: ruclips.net/video/unu91ucV-yQ/видео.html
And a style that uses a rear closure so you're guaranteed not to have to remove a doll's head to put it on: ruclips.net/video/8qhnJ_RQUcs/видео.html
Hope that helps!
You're my lifesaver, thank you so muchhh! Can you make dress shirt and jeans pattern drafting videos too?
I will put them on my list of plans!
Yes! The very idea of figuring out a jeans pattern all on my own makes me want to curl up in a ball under a blanket, then reach for my wallet and buy something someone else went through the pain of making lol. But I don't want jeans to be the only thing that can defeat me!
What a great tip to add seam allowance?!? Thank you so much!
This is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!
You're welcome! I'm glad you like it!
Thanks so much for this tutorial! It is really good! I must be a slow listener. I took the speed down as low as it could go watching on my smart TV and the speech is still so quick. Ah! The phone slows it down more!
Sorry about that!! Younger and more enthusiastic me spoke much faster than I do now for sure...
You do such great videos and tutorials! Thanks so much for providing this very helpful, valuable service!
Thank you so much! I've always felt it's important to share what knowledge we can, so I'm always happy to know people enjoy it!
You must be some kind of genius! My brain shut down, the minute you started speaking in numbers. There must be a simpler way. Math is not my forte!
Believe me, it's not easy for me either :) I actually suffer from mild dyscalculia, so making patterns is always a bit of a challenge since it relies on so many numbers. There are other ways to do it though, such as the tape method, and I'll be doing more videos on that in the future. Maybe something like that will work better for you too!
Yes, that would be great, if you could do a video to show the tape method. For me it's the same way as for skybluespike above............I really like the video, but I am lost as soon as you start speaking in numbers.............the video is really fast as well, and for someone like me, who has NO idea whatsoever on how to make a pattern, it's too fast to follow. I have been thinking for the longest time, that there must be some easier way to do this..............But anyway, I like watching your videos!:)
Ah, yeah... It's really hard to strike a balance between quick enough to be watchable and informative enough to be digestible! I have the tape method on my list of videos for the new year though, so I'll try to move it up the list and see if I can get to it sooner. ^^
Lomi's Playground Hello!! Did you ever make the tape method tutorial? I can't find it in your playlists.
Dollectable Dreams I don’t know if you already found it, but I think this might be it ruclips.net/video/59NfwlouHw8/видео.html
this is really great! I think I would be lazy and just cut out the first half and the second half at once by folding the paper (I would probably use graph paper too as I have no idea what a French curve is and I think that would make the curved bits easier). Thanks for doing all the work for us as usual and I'm fairly sure even I can't mess this up because, as always, you explained it really well! I love your pattern videos because, once you have made it for a particular doll, you have it and can change the original for other items of clothing.
Lmao I choked when you said "sensitive to doll nudity" :))))))) nice video tho, keep it coming
You can end up in Facebook jail for doll nudity. My daughter's American girl doll who has no anatomy and has a cloth body.
this video was fantastic. you are a very intelligent person! thank you so much for your help. I appreciate it very much!
Hi, this was very helpful. If I work on a 16” homemade doll, could use the same measurements? Please advise! Thanks
BLESS YOU!!! I've been looking for a pattern so i don't mess up my boy's shirt
I'm so glad it was helpful for you! I know how hard it can be to get started. :)
Very clear and detailed. Thanks!
This is an amazing tutorial. I wish I had found it sooner :)
So informative! I learned a lot. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial madam. ❤️💜❤️
Very useful tip to make doll shirt. Thanks for the great video. I will try to make one following your instruction but I'm not sure if my math may correct or not. 😊
God bless you for this video. it's so useful 👍👍👍 Looking forward to the other vids 😊
Thanks so much!
I always struggle with sleeves and this video was very helpful. question: How do you calculate the depth of the armhole? I have watched the video several times and I keep missing that! Thank you!
You've done good with your work. I followed ur steps but I made errors with the measuring so back to the drawing board 😓😭
Hi hi, also to add to my question about the armsighs and sleeves, in order to get what I have for the back and front pieces of the hoodie, I put my paper pattern on the back of Mowgli and drew a line right exactly where his shoulder seam is and did the same for the front piece. And walaa, a difference in shoulder length coming up the back and then up the front. The funny part, is that when he's sideways to me and I'm looking at his shoulder seam, it appears even right in the middle of his shoulder. I'm baffled.
It is so sweet how you warned people about doll nudity🥰
Really cool
That was fun to watch! Could you put a description of what YoSD, MSD means? Thanks!
Of course! They're common terms in the ball-jointed doll hobby but I know people new to the community may not be familiar with them, and they're definitely not known outside that part of the hobby :)
SD is typically used to refer to 60-70cm tall dolls that are roughly 1/3 scale. MSD is around 40-45cm and roughly 1/4 scale, but usually more childlike in proportions. And YoSD is 20-30cm, roughly 1/6 human size, but much more like toddlers in the way most of them are built. It can help to think of SD as adult sizing, MSD as youth, and YoSD as baby or toddler sizing.
@@LomisPlayground I had no idea! Thank you!
Hi, this video is amazing! ❤ I do have a question though, I want to make a dress for my crocheted doll and she doesn't really have designated shoulders. With my measurements, the shoulder length would be way smaller than the neck one and now I'm confused how to do this since every thing would be kind of the other way around than in your tutorial. Do you by any chance know how help me with that? 😅
hi I'm 9 and I never sewed before so thank you
The only thing I have for closures for the hoodie are snaps and a strip of hook and loop tape, so I'm really not trying to do a zip up hoodie. Help pleeeeease?
Great! Hopefully this will help me adapt for my 50cm doll... thanks!
Brilliant!
I was hoping to make some clothes with a neighbor’s daughter. She has an 18” American Girl doll (“My Doll” version).
Are there any standard measurements for this doll?
American Girl dolls are a little unusual, but I've found using the standards for 1:3 are usually the closest for them. They might still need a little adjustment, but it'll get you in the right neighborhood!
This is so inspiring!!! Thank you!!
This is excellent! Thank you so much for this tutorial. :)
Thank you for sharing your talent master❤️❤️❤️❤️
How can I make clothes for a teddy bear and Draw a pattern for it? 🙏
I started using this shirt drafting tutorial for the hoodie, but it's kind of not working out so well.
Can u make a video on measurements . that would be helpful what is one quarter of chest measure ?
Excellent video! Where can I buy this doll? Thank you! 🤗
Thanks
Hi Dear Beth, It's me Sheila again and I'm still working on drafting a pattern for a hoodie (jacket style) for my plush Mowgli doll. I'm having some trouble with the back piece having longer shoulder area than the front piece shoulder area. I have to draft my own patterns by hand and decided that because I'm going off of inspiration from this video, to just follow along with how you talk about drafting the sleeve, front piece and back piece. Is it okay if the shoulder area ends up longer on the back piece than on the front piece? Or should I extend the front shoulder area to the same length as the back shoulder area?
Trying to educate myself in sewing. I am not familiar with your measuring table; 70cm: 1cm, SD: 7MM, MSD:5MM,YoSD: 5MM, and Smaller: 2-3mm. Is it better to measure centimeters or inches or does it depend on size of doll. Thank you in advance.
Excellent
Hello Beth, it's me Sheila and I'm trying to figure out making a pull over hoodie for my Mowgli. His head circumference is 32 cm, actual neck circumference is 8.4 cm and arms and chest is 18.5 cm. He is 42 cm tall. I'm befuddled at this point. Please could you help me get a clue as to how to make this work?
Wow! Very good video. Thank you!
Wonderful lesson!
I'm sorry, but I'm having a little trouble understanding part of the sleeve instructions. What is that extra centimeter or so on the right used for?
Hi Beth, I'm still working on drafting a pattern for Mowgli's hoodie and I'm wondering how much longer should the cuff be than the wrist part of the sleeve when the sleeve is folded in half (because it's just my paper pattern)?
Muito obrigada em compartilhar. Seu vídeo é exatamente o que eu procurava.😊
I got so confused at 4:05 because I decided to make mine a crop top my curve is different maybe? I'm not sure first time hearing of a french curve but now I feel like I need one ASAP
edit- I've followed twice and I've come up with two very different patterns
🙃 I've never fully appreciated how complicated making clothes was
I have a doll that's an unusual size and difficult to buy clothes for: a Granado Titan. I'm going to try this method and see what I can make. Thanks!
I sure hope it works for you!
Can you make one dress using those please
I wish you could make a video on how to apply this method to villitunes.
hi, this is really helpful! thank you for making this! :-) I'm still watching it to try to understand each step better, and its a very straightforward tutorial, so thanks for that! :D (I'm not so good at math either, so I'm going to try to take it slow when doing this.) ;v;
quick question, sorry if this is a silly question, but I've been wondering this for a while now...does this technique also work for smaller dolls? (such as lati yellow, obitsu11, pukifee, nendoroid dolls, etc...)
I'm guessing the smaller the doll, the more difficult it is to make patterns and sew clothes, since small clothes can be hard to make, but...maybe I'm wrong? or maybe it just depends on the type of doll and the person's personal preference for small/big clothes? if you have any ideas/thoughts on this, that would be really helpful! thanks! :-)
very good video. my only comment is to slow down a little. I did rewind and play to get it all. Again good video, thank you!
Thank you! And yeah, sorry. 7-years-ago me had a lot more energy 😂 I couldn't go that fast now if I tried
What’s that measuring tape of yours called and where did you get yours from? I have been trying to search for one like that for years now 🥺
I'm assuming you mean the pink one? Mine was a freebie I got with an order of craft supplies, but as far as I know you can find them on lots of sewing supply sites by searching for retractable measuring tapes. :D
excellent!
So there's no seam allowance for the main parts? That seems strange
I was confused about that too. Did she mean to cut them all out with the seam allowance?
A directory of simple to advanced tutorials might be helpful especialy if it tells which r associated with the other portions of a garment or outfit.
Fantastic tutorial! I managed to produce wearable shirt on second try with it!
Yay! I'm glad it worked for you!
Please, make more tutorials like that! (if you want of course) They are super useful.
This has been super helpful thank you so much. Do you have a video on making shorts or pants🥰🥰🥰
Coming soon! I'm actually editing a video for it right now.
Can I apply this for making clothes for a teddy bear? If so, what advice and tips could you give? Thanks in advance
Yes you can. For soft creatures, I recommend drawing your pattern on paper towels so you can easily fit it to the bear to see if adjustments need to be made!
Hello, I'm a beginner. I just wondering the dividing part is applicable to any doll sizes as well. My doll is 1/6.
Yes, it should work for any size!
@@LomisPlayground thank you. 😊
Great job Lomi thanks sweetie pie 🥧
hi! does this method apply to all dolls or just the type you have in the video. this may be a stupid question but nevetheless :) I have a miniland doll and want to sew sth fot her :)
It will work for most dolls as long as they don't have an extremely stylized body shape.
Do you have anything for making pants or leggings and the like? Like to properly measure the hip and stuff? I am super ridiculously new doll clothing Making and I'm looking for as much as vices I can get
I do! There's one for leggings here: ruclips.net/video/lbcsRyJLAgE/видео.html
And one for a more advanced pants block here: ruclips.net/video/IENUh8XVXCw/видео.html
What an incredible guide! I think these look right! This is my first sewing tutorial haha :,-) Silly question: what do I do with these pattens after they are cut out? Do I cut two of the front/back/arms and sew them together? Do you have/know of a tutorial that provides next steps?
That's pretty much it--shirts like these are very straightforward. I have a video about sewing a shirt pattern here that might help: ruclips.net/video/8qhnJ_RQUcs/видео.html
That helped! Thank you again so much :-)
I know this old but what is the name of that curved looking ruler called? Where can I find one?
It's a French curve! I got mine on Amazon. Some come with inch and centimeter markings on them as well.
Please give a link for this doll
Thanks this video helped a lot
