Description: Ten much-loved characters taken from classic stories and ì fairytales have inspired this delightful collection of storybook ì dolls' clothes. Christina Harris' eye for detail and concern for ì period accuracy reproduced in miniature, make this collection of ì clothes to sew particularly rewarding for any doll collector. The ì patterns are designed to fit dolls sized from 17 to 24 inches and ì there are simple guidelines on how to adapt the patterns to fit ì any size of doll. The general dressmaking instructions for making ì the garments are collected together at the start of the book with ì clear diagrams illustrating the stitches and techniques used. ì Each outfit is described step-by-step and there are also ì instructions for making all the accessories for each of the ì characters, including hats and shoes, and a full set of ì underwear. Photographs show both the front and back of each ì outfit as well as details of the costumes. Each pair of ì characters is set in a scene from their story; who could resist ì creating the costumes of Alice and the Queen of Hearts playing ì that chaotic game of croquet, or Rapunzel letting down her hair ì to let the Prince climb up and rescue her?
