Step 1
It isn't just us—dolls need clothes too, and \"these young ladies\" also sometimes have nothing to wear (I realized this after my niece came to me four times in one week with this very problem). To keep from upsetting the little one, I designed the simplest possible pattern for the doll's clothes to cut down on sewing time. Her first argument was: the doll is freezing cold. All right, we're sewing a jacket!

Step 5
The doll is small (35 cm tall), so it took 1.5 m/20 cm of fabric, and there was even some left over. As I said, I didn't make a pattern—I simply laid the doll against the cut of fabric and estimated the size of the future jacket. Using the resulting template, cut out the pieces.

Step 8
Place all the pieces right sides together and join them. Do the same with the hood.

Step 11
Fold our assembled piece along the back length and align the front jacket pieces, using the hood as a guide. Yes, this might sound and look a bit awkward, but without an exact pattern, I had to do everything by eye, so to speak. Finish the outer raw edges with bias tape. Finish the inner seams by hand or with a zigzag stitch (you can make it a bit more challenging and turn them inward).

Step 13
Sew buttons or a zipper onto the jacket, or install snaps.

Step 15
I decided to attach fur from an old jacket to the hood using hot glue.

Step 17
The project is complete. I hope this method of making doll clothes will be helpful for beginner sewists.
