Patterns, Props, Printables, and Tutorials (edited 12.22)

Hi everyone! This is a post dedicated to the Patterns, Tutorials, Printables, and many other doll related things I've recently found on Pinterest. I hope you find it useful. This will be updated periodically as I find more stuff.


(Edited 12/22/2012)- New Links, better introduction, and now with more organization! And no longer links to the Pins(as I realized they pretty much served their purpose with helping me find the blogs.)


So I'm sure a lot of you of heard of Pinterest if not well... it's like a giant online pin board that everyone shares. Here it is: pinterest.com It's a pretty neat site actually. I recently joined it and have spent hours on it, and now I bring some of the websites I've found on it.

I've found a bunch of tutorials that could be used to make doll stuff. Most of these aren't tailored specifically related to BJD's, there are tailored to dolls Amercian Girl sized(and other 18” size dolls). However I know a lot of AG props can fit MSDs(or SD's). Or doll house sized props(which can be scaled up). So I hope they are of use.

Bonus Round: I also found a whole bunch of stuff on learning how to crochet(if anyone is interested in those please leave a post, and I'll add them on here.)


Layout will go like this:

Blog/Creator
Title of Tutorial/Pattern
Direct Link to Blog Post-
Links of interest on the same blog-

Sections in this Post:
American Girl Patterns(AG)- and similar sized doll patterns(posts #2,3,4, on page 1) and (#14 on page 2)
Doll Props-dollhouse sized, and AG sized (posts #6,7,8,9 on page 1) and (#15,16,17,18 page 2)
Printables- (posts #5,#6 page 1)(#12,13,14 page 2)
Human Size Patterns/Tutorials that can be re-sized-(post #8 page 1)(#9 page 2)

Let me know if they layout is confusing at all, or if there is too much. And I'll get it fixed ASAP! There will be many posts. I'll add new links as time goes on, so please keep an eye out! New links will go in new posts, and the link to the post will be given in the first post of the page!


And so it begins!!!
