Do you need patterns to make the dresses? I don't have any sewing expereinces and have some differcut time to help my kids to make the dresses.

The designs are for made for pinning fabric on the model and not really practical for making clothes that would be worn by other dolls

No. It is pretty much pinning the fabric and trimmings onto the model to create designs. Then sew them if you want to.

Thank you for your inquiry. We are unaware of any clothes for these dolls other than the ones that come with them. Thank you again for your question.

These were purchased for my son and daughter-in-law and I've not used the current version. I bought them based on my good experience when my children were little, and as I recall mine, I think the thickness might make sewing them together difficult.

That is what I thought too.But if you look closely,there is a little square ,a picture of what the assembled pieces would look like.It is up to you if you want to follow it to the "T" or you want widen the pattern or shorten it or add your own variation.It all work!

It comes with instructions on how to put the frame together and how to put the sewing machine on the frame--however, it does not teach you how to quilt if that is what you were also referring to. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Izzy, if you can thread a sewing machine, you can thread this machine. I carefully followed the directions in the booklet and to my surprise I got it on the first try. I also took the beginning serger class on Craftsy.com which helped. The difficulty with threading the machine is tight space. But with the tweezers its manageable. I would do it when you have an hour of uninterrupted time to concentrate on it the task at hand. Then go step by step. I never used a serger before. I was very leery when I started, but it was easier than I thought. I think this is a good basic machine for beginning to use a serger. I made a simple knit skirt using the serger. It was fast and I got a good result. I really recommend the Craftsy class which I watched prior to using my machine. Hope this helps.

My daughter is older but found it easier to make bracelets without the loom. A friend showed her how to make them. The loom is not needed and not sturdy. You can make the bracelets just with the floss. The kind of bracelets I recommend for a 7 year old. Look like little good quality rubber bands with a loom seems to be better once they get the hang of it. Youtube videos help. Toys r us had them at Christmas. They are very popular and better. It depends on the child really. I would recommend no on this one.

I wish these had pattern refills... sadly I have never seen/found them anywhere, just more complete kits witch is a waste of money and space. Copying/scanning the pattern sheets like some others have suggested seems to be the best idea. Otherwise when you run out of paper patterns, you run out of things to make.

it comes with templates to make little animal shapes, and some are just designs. a clear plastic holder, and patterns to put under it as a guide. it is a great activity for kids, because they can do the whole thing themselves, not ironing. just spritz with water and let it dry! you will need more beads eventually.

Did you happen to get one Tiger Lady? I am looking for one for crochet pants wondering if this will do the trick?

Lois, I did not try to find a case to fit. Instead, I made one. If you don't sew, find someone who does, and have a bunch made.

As far as I can tell, yes. My son wasn't too interested in the pattern cards though, so not 100% positive.

I only do flat: sheets, pillow cases, tableclothes, napkins and placemats. I would think it would be doable, but would take more patience than I have. There are u-tube videos and how to do shirts, etc.

I'm guessing the sellers didn't like being told they are greedy. I have the Disney store costume already. I'm also getting a couple more from the epcot center. To help out other parents who are missing out because of people like you. I'll continue to find dresses and help other parents. Disney will eventually up their production.

Are you familiar with a website called patternreview dot com? There are reviews for the different dressforms and people you can ask. I'm not sure which size you need but I bet someone on patternreview will know.

The bracelet maker comes with a few designs that you can make, but it's easier to just look up tutorials on YouTube. Many have specific bracelet designs for beginners, intermediate, etc. you can also find patterns on websites for free or in books if you would rather do that. If you have never made any friendship bracelets before, I do not suggest looking on this product's website for tutorials as it can be very confusing and frustrating to understand. People on YouTube go a lot slower and actually explain what they're doing as they go along. After a couple bracelets it definitely gets easier to understand.
