My niece loves few things more than her doll, Lilian. And one of her favorite things to get for presents are new clothes for Lilian. My problem is that almost all the clothes found in the pattern books at the fabric stores are sized for American Girls, and Lilian is only 14 inches tall and very thin bodied. In short, the clothes I would make from these patterns would completely hang on her body.
Does anyone have any advice for scaling down patterns, particularly for doll clothes? I'm still something of a novice, so my sewing refinement still hasn't grown beyond 'follow the pattern'.
