Product Description
Review
"Sixteen different costumes are featured that would make delightful projects..." -- Galatea Magazine, Summer 2002.
Product Description
Among the best-selling dolls on the market today are the charming 18-inch dolls by American Girls, Faithful Friends, and others. The fun of owning these wonderful dolls is dressing them in a variety of outfits. Now home sewers can take their dolls around the world without leaving their sewing rooms. A great value, this book includes full-size tissue-paper pattern sheets for 16 authentic ethnic outfits from Norway, Ireland, Mexico, Italy, China, Japan, Germany, and more. Buying the patterns individually (if you could find them!) would cost much more and the complete instructions and helpful illustrations included assure well-fitting, and attractive results.

Best Author for 18-inch dolls Clothing!, 31 Jan 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sew the International Wardrobe for 18-Inch Dolls: Complete Instructions and Full-Size Patterns for 16 Ethnic Costumes (Paperback)
I LOVE this book. I bought this book because I wanted to make the Russian and Irish costumes for my daughter's dolls. I have NEVER sewed doll clothes before this. The patterns are SO easy and I was able to make several of the costumes from fabric scraps about the house.I have since made MANY doll clothes and after this book had the confidence to purchase some of the commercial patterns. After working with the commercial patterns, I REALLY started to appreciate the clarity and ease of Joan Hinds patterns (and the FIT - they fit the dolls 100%). Some people don't like the pattern paper, but I always trace them onto poster board and that way I get a durable patterns for years to come (and on poster board, the kids can trace them out onto the cloth easier too!).
I have since purchased several of her books and love them all. I love all the photos and the easy directions. If you are new to sewing doll clothes or just new to sewing, this is a great book to get you up and running!

Sew the International Wardrobe for 18 in. dolls, 14 Aug 2001
By Craig F. Bale - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sew the International Wardrobe for 18-Inch Dolls: Complete Instructions and Full-Size Patterns for 16 Ethnic Costumes (Paperback)
Like all of Joan's books, this one is easy to read and follow, and has great doll clothing ideas. Her patterns are easy to understand and always go together well, and fit American Girl style dolls to a T. I enjoyed this book because there are so many ethnic designs; it will be fun to find just the right fabrics to make them all. I highly recommend this book!

Sew the International Wardrobe, 30 May 2009
By Christopher And Dorothy Shary "Sharys" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sew the International Wardrobe for 18-Inch Dolls: Complete Instructions and Full-Size Patterns for 16 Ethnic Costumes (Paperback)
Any pattern book made for doll clothing that is written by Joan Hinds will be considered wonderful. Her directions and patterns are great! Her pattern books are well designed for the teaching of sewing to children 8+. She herself will point out that teaching the young to sew doll clothes introduces them to a love for sewing as adults. I enjoy making dresses for my granddaughters and then using like material and Joan Hind's patterns to make a doll dress to match. Highly recommend!
