Although I do have plans for more human-size sewing, honestly? Right now I've sewn a lot of what I wanted to sew for wearing this summer (pull-over dresses. several of them.)
And while I don't think I'm going to make posts here about all of the doll clothes I'm making, I will make posts for the more involved items, like the overalls in the last post that were made using (mostly) a pattern intended for human size.
This time, the pattern is from one of the Japanese doll publications with scans currently available on The Internet Archive: Doll Coordinate Recipe Volume 5. On page 18 is a Momoko doll wearing a motorcycle jacket, and. Well. You know me and motorcycle jackets.
The pattern is on page 66, at half scale. I set the PDF at 100%, screen capped it, and took it into a graphics program where I doubled the size, then split it into two to print because it was too big to fit on a single page. The seam allowances at this size were ¼"/6mm, so I figured everything was scaled properly. Nope! The finished jacket ended up significantly bigger than something meant for Momoko, which was actually fine, because I was making it for a Barbie.
Yeah no I wasn't going to make it from pleather, who do you think I am?
