Because I'm insane like that.

At least it turned out better than my first several attempts!

Good start, Janilew, but it doesn't look easy to do haute couture on such a small scale!
-
That takes me back. When I was a kid, I made bedding for klickies. Clothes would be hard, since closures would be too big. Either you sew them in or the outfit must loose enough that it can be slipped off.

Lol, I'm aware! It's mostly for poops and giggles, but I also wanted to make changeable clothing that allows them to sit. The clip on dresses are cute and all, but they're doomed to forever be standing! I was closer this time than my first, I just messed up the gather. It fit rather snug and had no need for Velcro! I just need more practice. Thank goodness I was smart enough to make a pattern for the bodice when I made the first attempt. That was half the work right there!

Aww, that's so sweet! Luckily the outfit was loose enough to take off. She can sit too!
Next challenge...SLEEVES!

That is very true...
That is precision work there!

Thank you! There's VERY little room for error on 1:24 scale. 1 mm makes all the difference. I had to buckle down and use fabric glue to hem the bodice at the top, making it the pointy shape. I'm very much a beginner at sewing in general (hence the skewed pleats), so I find this to be decent practice as I'm not wasting a lot of material if I mess up.
Also it's fun! ;D

I was frustrated by insufficient klicky beds as a child.
Good luck with the sleeves! Miniature sewing takes a lot of creativity since some of the standard sewing techniques don't work so well on a tiny scale. I'm not great at pleats either, and I sew a lot (just not normally things with pleats).

Thanks for the encouragement. And ehat about sleeves, do you sew them?

My newest attempts! I had no idea it was past midnight! I was wondering why my mom asked if I was still up. That ruffle on the apron was the death of me! But it was an interesting challenge. :) The blue gingham skirt was the later, and better attempt, if you can't tell. I actually bothered to gather it before sewing, and whaddya know it was better! And it took less time too. :eh?:
The earlier brown dress features my attempt at a separate waistband and inner lining. I foolishly tried to sew the waistband on...needless to day, I ended up gluing it. Also a last minute gathering at the bottom so it wouldn't look a got dang saucer like my other tries.

Have to post the photos separate.....ugh! >:(

Siiiigh....

Cute skirts :) I like the fabric you used on the last dress

Massive shortage! I sewed tiny pillows too

I think I've only done sleeves for humans. :lol:
Birdie, yes, tiny pillows! I had one made from lace and faux silk.

Lol, of course! I meant to ask how hard they were to make. I know that a lot of people hate sewing them, and for good reason!
-
Sleeves for humans aren't too terrible, if you have a good pattern. But klickies don't have the arm movement to make sleeves easy to get on, and they'd have to be super tiny.
So . . . I tried sewing a dress. It did not go well. Klicky heads are huge, but I don't really want to pull their heads off to change their clothes. :lol: Maybe we need to look to the Sylvanian clothes for inspiration. Or I should stick to pillows and blankets.
-
I gave it another try, with kimonos. These are cut as a single piece of fabric to avoid excessive seam bulk.
-
Cool 8-) :clover:
-
Wow Ismene, those look great! I really love how they turned out :love:
-
Wow Ms. Ismene, they look great! ;D The girls look lovely!
-
They look great! :)
-
Thanks, I kind of cheated by using fabrics that don't fray easily. Loads more scraps to experiment with
-
Thats not really cheating! Great work! :D
-
This is definitely worth pursuing!
I’ve been looking to use microfibre fabrics- they’re thin, drape nicely/less bulk, and most don’t need hemming! I used some patterned eyeglass wipes to make nice, flat rugs, but am now inspired to use them for clothing too.

I seem to remember Sylvanian clothes having wee little hems. My machine wants to eat wee little hems; even for these seams, I used tissue paper to keep them out of the feed dogs. Sylvanians are mass-produced, so this is doable.
Microfiber would work. The green floral I used is a microsuede, which is a similar idea with a more robust backing. The blue fabric is thicker, so it looks proper wintery. It might make good curtains, if I can find a way to cleanly cut holes.
