Forget those paper patterns,
By Mrs Carol Clark (Worcestershire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Period & Contemporary: Patterns for Fashion Dolls (Paperback)
I bought this title because I enjoy making outfits for Gene and Madra. In the past I have mainly used patterns by leading manafacturers, which by the time you have bought two or three you would have paid for this book which gives you lots more designs to choose from.After reading the reveiws of others, I thought I'd give it a try. The book gives you plenty of ideas and you can adapt pattern pieces together to create an outfit all of your own. It also gives you tips on making accessories and suppliers of items needed to complete your outfit. The only thing against this book for some people may be the fact that you have to enlarge the pattern pieces to scale, but I tried enlarging them on my scanner, then I printed them onto cheap paper this worked fine for me. I still gave the book 5 stars because it is well thought out, beautifully illustrated and I think well worth the money.

Great Book, but,
By A Customer
This review is from: Period & Contemporary: Patterns for Fashion Dolls (Paperback)
This is an exciting book with some beautiful designs that are well presented. The only down side, and for me it was a big one,is that after purchasing the book, you have to enlarge the patterns on a copier. Since this will make the enlargement larger than a standard page, it takes either extra large paper (expensive) or several copies to get the entire pattern. This adds considerably to the price of the book. I would have preferred the publisher include the patterns in the correct size.

Excellent Fashion Doll Resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: Period & Contemporary: Patterns for Fashion Dolls (Paperback)
This book contains patterns to make fashions for the 15 1/2 and 16 inch fashion dolls such as Gene and Tyler with full color step-by-step instructions. Also contains sewing hints, costume history, web links for resources and supplies, instructions for knitting, crocheting and beading, and instructions for hats and purses. Well written, informative, with excellent photography. Designs appear to be perfectly scaled to the size of the dolls.
