Whimsical doll fashions, 8 April 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Two-hour Dolls' Clothes (Two-hour crafts) (Hardcover)
Simply designed cheerful clothing for 12, 14, 16, 18 inch dolls. Basic sewing techniques and terms explained and illustrated for the novice seamstress. Patterns are overlapped for the different size dresses and may need to be measured and adjusted for specific commercial dolls. Very clear instructions that can be easily followed. Would be an excellent book for a child learning to sew

Creative Inspiration, 5 April 2003
By Tracy Robert - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Two Hour Dolls Clothes (Two-hour Crafts) (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.

Quick, eclectic dolls' clothes, 28 Dec 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Two-hour Dolls' Clothes (Two-hour crafts) (Hardcover)
I found the projects in this book really are quick. These are very basic patterns which are made special by one's own fabric choices, lace, buttons, embellishments, etc. As shown, the outfits have a country/funky/eclectic look that can work for contemporary or old-fashioned dolls. Some sewing experience is assumed, and these projects do take a somewhat "quick and dirty" approach in that edges won't be finished, bodices won't be lined, etc. But great for quick, cute, doable projects.
