The course has over 130 videos, and you still receive the 8 Free 18 inch Doll Clothes PDF Patterns with their own video tutorials where I show you step-by-step how to complete the outfit.  This means that when you purchase my How to Make Doll Clothes’ DVD set you receive a whopping 10 DVDs with all the videos and 1 CD with the PDF pattern pieces and instructions.

T-shirts are the most versatile piece of clothing in anyone’s wardrobe and it is the same for your doll which is why this is a ‘must have’ doll clothes pattern for your 18 inch, American Girl and Australian Girl dolls.
