Doreen Sinnett Miniature Dress Pattern Book

Dress Patterns of the Past for

1" to 1' Dollhouse Ladies

by Doreen Sinnett

Doreen designed all 6 of these ladies dress patterns in 1978. She produced this book with great success. It has 6 different patterns in it. All of them are fully illustrated with detailed instructions for sewing and glueing these patterns. The clothes in this book are removeable. They are not glued to the doll. The glueing is in the construction of the clothes only. She gives very helpful hints on the types of fabric to buy and sewing shortcuts and ideas.
