Like most clothing models for sock dolls, the dress does not require preliminary paper patterns. Another advantage of “sock” clothing is that it is not necessary to process the bottom of the product, sleeves and neck. The best seam for sewing knitted parts is a loop stitch.
For the dress we will need an adult size sock.
This dress is made from the top of a sock. It is desirable that the elastic band on the lapel looks beautiful.
Cut off the required length of the dress by attaching the sock to the doll.
We outline the line of the sleeves. If you are planning to make a long-sleeved blouse for a Barbie doll, the sleeves will most likely be longer than the blouse itself. But the length of the clothing can be adjusted later.
We make cuts along the marked lines.
Sew the sides of the garment using a buttonhole stitch. Turn the dress right side out and try it on.
We fold the bottom of the dress and hem it with straight stitches from the inside out.
We bend the neckline of the dress halfway to the front side and hem it with straight stitches.
To complete the outfit, you can make a belt from thin cords (threads).
For such a belt you will need thin cords (threads) of two colors, approximately 0.5 m each, and a button with fairly large holes.
We fold one of the cords in half and make a loop, tying a knot, the button of your choice should go into this loop.
We insert the second cord into this loop and begin weaving in 4 threads. First, in the center we cross the cords of one color, then the second, again the first, etc.
When the belt reaches the desired length, thread one end of the cord through the holes of the button.
Tie all the cords together in one knot.
You can make knots at the ends of the cords, you can hang beads, or simply singe the ends so that the threads do not unravel. The last method is only suitable for synthetic cords.
You can crochet the belt or use a thicker lace, decorating the ends of the belt with tassels, beads, and fur balls. A leather strap will also go with the dress.
Sooner or later, a mother of a daughter has a moment when she turns into a fashion designer and starts sewing. DIY clothes for dolls.
I remember well all the outfits that my mother sewed/knitted for my dolls as a child. They seemed extraordinary to me, and the doll in them was the most fashionable and beautiful. And now I sew outfits for dolls myself, only now for my daughter.
How to sew clothes for a doll?
The simplest option is clothes for dolls made from socks! You can make almost any outfit from a sock: a dress, pants, top, skirt, shorts, hat. Today we will sew a dress and a tracksuit.
For this we need:
- two women's socks for a suit (I used terry ones);
- one children's golf shoe for a dress;
- matching threads;
- elastic thread;
- scissors;
- clear nail polish.
I'll start with our model. This is a girl doll, 34 cm tall - Jolina the ballerina ().
Using the proposed patterns, you can sew clothes for both a Barbie doll and a baby doll. It's all about the size of the sock :).
Clothes for sock dolls: tracksuit
Take a pair of women's socks. We will sew a blouse from one, and pants and a hat from the other.
Blouse for a doll made from socks
Trying the sock on the doll :). We attach it as in the photo (elastic band around the neck) and mark the place for the armholes.
The armholes should be under the elastic. We make two symmetrical cuts of the required length (about 2 cm) and try the sock on the doll again. Now in order to decide on the length of the sweater.
For a terry sock, treat the cut areas with clear nail polish to prevent them from falling off. We fold the bottom of the sweater and stitch it.
From the bottom of the sock we cut out two sleeves. To do this, measure the length of the arm, cut out a rectangle of the required length, and cut it lengthwise into two parts.
We get two blanks for the sleeves. We try it on and if necessary we cut off the excess. I cut the corners a little in the places where the sleeves will be sewn to the blouse.
Sew on the sleeve and the doll's blouse is ready!
Pants for a doll made from socks
We cut off the sock just under the heel. We try it on the doll to determine the length of the cut.
We make a cut and sew the parts together. Turn it inside out. The bottom of the pants can be rolled up or treated with clear nail polish.
Sock hat
The hat is sewn from the bottom of the sock. We try on the sock and decide on a long hat. Cut off the excess. We process the edges with transparent varnish. I turned up the bottom of the hat and stitched it with regular threads (as terry fabric frays). Then I made a basting stitch with an elastic thread and pulled it to the desired width so that the hat would not fly off.
We sew the top of the cap with a basting stitch and tighten it.
Now we try on the outfit on the doll and go for a walk.
Dress made from socks
We take a children's golf shoe and immediately under the rubber we make two symmetrical cuts. These will be the armholes. Carefully bend them or treat them with clear varnish. We try on the sock on the doll and determine the length of the dress. We cut it off. You can simply tuck the bottom, or sew on a beautiful braid.
The dress is ready.
How to process seams in clothes for dolls
- If your socks contain synthetics, you can cut them using a burner and a metal ruler. This way you won't have to process the cuts.
- If cutting with a burner is not possible, treat the cuts with a lighter or clear nail polish.
- The bottom of the parts can be treated with braid by gluing it to a hot glue gun.

Dolls created based on the famous series “Monster School” immediately fell in love with children all over the world. A huge number of them have already been released. Various clothing options for school students are sold both in stores and on Internet sites. Monster High differs from other dolls in that they are super fashionable girls. Only modern clothes are sewn for them, adhering to fashion trends. Naturally, the cost of such outfits is sometimes fabulous.
Enterprising mothers will always find a way out of the situation. And our article will help you understand how to sew using the materials available in each apartment. You don't even have to go to the store. And the child can easily take off and put on homemade suits, sweaters and skirts, without worrying that his mother will scold him for torn expensive items.
With a minimum of effort, you can, knowing Monster High, create a large wardrobe by decorating the products with small bright details - beads, buttons, rhinestones and other accessories, which can be freely purchased at any specialized store.
We use a glove
If you are not a professional seamstress, then the easiest way to create an outfit is from a ready-made semi-finished product. In this case, we’ll look at how to sew clothes for a Monster High doll from an old, unnecessary glove.
It is better to choose a demi-season product so that the glove is not too thick. Having laid out one piece on the table, put a doll on top to measure the width of the future dress. The doll's head should lie in the place where the third finger is located. The collar of the dress will be placed in this place. You need to trim the finger on the glove so that about 1 cm remains on the collar.
The place for the index and ring fingers will serve as the doll's sleeves. You just need to cut off the extra curves at the ends. Having measured the required volume of the torso, cut off the excess edges of the glove with scissors, namely, the places for the thumb and little finger. The sides are sewn together on the inside.
Now you know how to sew clothes for a Monster High doll. All that remains is to decorate the dress at your own discretion and put it on the character. You can make a belt, decorate it with a bow of satin ribbons, or make a flower, such as a rose. You can sew several half beads in a row. Consult with your child. Children are the best dreamers.
Sweater made from sock
One of the options for sewing a sweater for a doll can be seen in the video below.
Using the same principle, you can sew another version of the outfit. It is better to take striped socks in bright colors. A sweater is sewn from several individual elements. The collar, bottom and sleeve cuffs are cut out of the sock elastic. The rest is cut out from the fabric itself, placing the doll on the product. First, the back and front are cut out at the same time. Make slightly sloping shoulders. Try the required width on the doll again. The excess is cut off and the parts on the sides are sewn together.
The sleeve cuffs are made wide so that the doll’s arms can be easily inserted into the sweater. The sleeves themselves are thin strips with oblique cuts at the top. At the end of the work, all the small details are sewn together. Since the sweater is striped, no additional decoration is required.
How to sew clothes for a Monster High doll from a sock?
As you can see in the photo below, you can cut out not only a sweater or a knitted dress from a sock. By cutting off the part with the elastic, you can sew a sports skirt. These are in fashion now. Make a vest with a V-neck.
Using the same principle as in the previous version described, instead of sleeves you can sew tights, leggings or stockings. And by simply cutting off a long strip and leaving the heel intact, you can tailor a cape with a hood. It will be enough to overlock the edges and attach a ribbon tie to the neck.
Set
Using just one sock with a bright pattern and knowing how to sew clothes for a Monster High doll with your own hands, you can create an entire outfit consisting of many elements.
To take measurements, simply place the doll on the fabric and trace it with chalk.
As you can see, tailoring is not as complicated as it seems at first glance. With a little effort and a little imagination, even a novice seamstress or a school-age child can do it.
In every family where there is a little girl, or maybe not so little, there is a Barbie doll. And perhaps even several, and they are all constantly in the game: they go shopping, visit each other and, of course, attend balls and restaurants. And for this they need a lot of outfits, so doll owners are puzzled about where to find a dress for Barbie. The easiest option would be to make such an outfit with your own hands; it will not require large financial investments and the dress will be the most unique. The image of the dolls can be made very diverse: it can be a beautiful young lady in an evening dress, or it can be a business girl in a simple dress. The most important thing here is to please your little beauty, because by playing with dolls, the girl develops her own taste and imagination.
Let's start simple
Life-size patterns can help in this matter. To begin, select all the starting materials: suitable fabric, ribbons, rhinestones, lace, threads. Then make life-size patterns; ready-made patterns on the Internet will help with this, or you can draw them yourself. The easiest way would be to attach any fabric to the doll, make notes, and then transfer the pattern to the fabric. But for a dress, especially if you plan to make a lush evening dress, it is better to use ready-made patterns.
Next you need to move the patterns onto the fabric and cut them out. Don't forget to leave seam allowances, otherwise you won't be able to put the dress on the doll, it will be very small. Then you sew the pieces together, finish the seams, insert a lock or sew on buttons. Well, then how your imagination works, we decorate it to your taste. This is where all the extra beautiful little things come in handy. If you don’t get too fancy with sewing a dress, it will only take you half an hour.
The dress can also be made from a sock. This is a very easy way to sew a dress, even a child can handle it. It can be sewn with sleeves, or without them. Without sleeves it will be looser, but with sleeves it will fit the doll's figure. To sew a dress from a sock, you do not need to make patterns, and you also do not need to process the top and bottom of the product. It will be enough to process the armholes of the sleeves if you are sewing a dress without sleeves, since untreated they will not look very neat. A loop stitch is more suitable for joining parts; it is not necessary to use a sewing machine. The dress can be made from the top, or from the bottom of the sock. Let's consider both options.
In order to sew a dress from the bottom, you need to cut off this part of the sock. It is advisable to take an adult's sock. You need to outline the sleeves of the future dress and cut along these lines. Then make a neckline; to do this, cut off the top of the sock. Sew the sleeves and sides of the dress using a buttonhole stitch. Now we turn the dress inside out and try it on the doll.
Method 2
This dress is made from the top of a sock. The elastic of the sock should be neat and look beautiful.
Cut off the required length.
Now mark the lines of the sleeves. If you want to make a dress with long sleeves, then adjust the length after trying on.
But then you can just roll up the sleeves, it will also look good.
We make cuts along the lines we marked and sew them together with the same buttonhole stitch.
Now we can turn it inside out and try on our new outfit.
After determining the length of the dress, fold the bottom to the wrong side and sew with regular straight stitches. Next, we bend the neck of the dress in the middle, also on the wrong side, and sew it with the same straight stitches.
The dress is ready! You can add it to your taste.
Let's grab the rubber bands
For a variety of dress models, you can use Rainbow Lum elastic bands. This type of needlework has become very popular relatively recently, but many craftswomen are able to create not only bracelets, but also various models of toys, as well as a dress from rubber bands for Barbie. Such clothes turn out to be very original, bright with a unique design.
First you need to choose the colors you will work with and choose the most suitable way to weave a dress from elastic bands. It should be noted that weaving from rubber bands requires certain skills and a set of tools. However, this is not at all difficult to learn, and a weaving machine can be purchased at any craft store.
There are many ways to weave with elastic bands, but at the initial stage it is best to perform the product on a special machine. "Eight" is the easiest way to knit.
Let's look at it in more detail:
- You need to place several elastic bands in a row, stretch one rubber band through each second, repeating the figure eight, you will end up with two rows in the form of braids.
- Next, in the top and bottom rows we stretch 6 rubber bands (figure eight).
- Now you need to connect two rows with elastic bands, you need to put one in every second loop, but do not repeat the number 8.
- All steps must be repeated until the desired length is achieved.
If you have no idea how to weave a dress from elastic bands, then watch videos where skilled needlewomen will show you how to create such a dress without making mistakes.
Knitted outfit
A crocheted dress turns out to be very original.
If you know how to crochet, then this version of creating a dress will allow your imagination to run wild. Because there are a lot of ready-made models, the collection of which is constantly being replenished, at the same time you can come up with your own unique model. In this article we offer you a simple model of a beautiful dress and a master class with a description.
You will need:
- pink yarn, approximately 50 grams;
- white satin ribbon;
- hook;
- sequins (optional).
We crochet the first row with half double crochets.
When the top part is ready, connect the ends using a chain loop and start knitting the bottom part.
