the next step after mary frances sews,
By Georgina "tville" (san francisco, ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Two-Hour Dolls' Clothes (Paperback)
this book is the logical next step to the mary frances sewing book. it's incredible and simple. learn to sew doll clothes and then take on the real stuff. i started with sewing 101 went to mary frances and did my graudation here. now i'm on to the finer points of tailoring. forget home dec, do clothes, it's really fun and incredible and great showing off your creations.the multi-sizes in the patterns are no different than those found in the professional sewing patterns fo butterick, vogue and simplicity. everyone does multi-sizes these days. this is a cheap way to learn how to read them. this book gives you the basics and lovely clothes for your dolly to boot. venus dodge's books are also great for this journey, but you really have to be into dolls.

This review is from: Two-Hour Dolls' Clothes (Paperback)
"Two Hour Dolls' Clothes" is a colorful and unconventional look at sewing for dolls. In this book, there is more emphasis on creative fabric choices then highly skilled or detailed sewing. As an "advanced beginner" seamstress, I found this book to be very liberating. The photographs and watercolors are delicious to look at, and this has changed my view of sewing into one that includes enjoyment with fabrics and style instead of frustration for a lack of perfection in my sewing skills. However, from a practical level, the patterns are unclear. Patterns for different sized dolls are set inside of the larger patterns for the same piece, and they are colored in with watercolor designs, suggesting fabric. I would recommend "Two Hour Dolls' Clothes" for those who enjoy photos and watercolors of dolls and their clothes as well as the creative use of color and fabric. It may open your mind to new visions of what doll clothes can be. For those who would like a more straightforward book with clear patterns of basic pieces in a variety of sizes, I would recommend "The Dolls' Dressmaker" by Venus Dodge in addition to "Two Hour Dolls' Clothes". "The Dolls' Dressmaker" takes a more traditional instructional approach to doll clothes construction. With both books, one is sure to create skilled and creative clothing for dolls.

Gorgeous Book!!!,

This review is from: Two-Hour Dolls' Clothes (Paperback)
This book could be classified as a table-top book besides a how-to-pattern book! Anita Crane's watercolor illustrations add to the beauty of this gem of a book. The photographs are also superb and I simply cannot wait to make the clothes, they are all exquisite! I like the idea that there is a multiple size range for the patterns and the ideas on customizing the doll clothes. This book is nothing short of sensational, superb, sublime and the absolute best I have seen! Thank you Anita Crane for a DREAM of a book!!!! You have inspired me! Dolls and teddies at this home will be quite fashionable soon! Could you do a book on dreamy and vintage type doll clothes for boy dolls/teddies? My children will love to have their toy friends dressed in clothes to match their own!!!
