ENJOY MAKING DOLL CLOTHES
First Step to Making Doll Clothes
Hello! I'm Ryoko, a doll clothes designer.
While I usually share the joys of playing with dolls on Instagram and my blog, I wanted to convey the fun of "making clothes" even more, so I decided to open this course!
We'll start with making a simple dress that covers the basics ⋆˙⟡
Eventually, I'll share information that "only I can provide," based on my experience of starting from scratch and reaching this point, including how to make delicate real clothes, the behind-the-scenes of doll clothes making, and how to turn a hobby into a business.
Why not take your first step with me here?
Here's this kit's educational materials!
HARU URARA
To celebrate the opening of the course, I've created a special patterned dress kit⋆˙⟡
A spring-colored design that you'll want to photograph under the cherry blossoms🌸
With a pattern scaled for a small doll's body,
it's easy to make yet looks intricately designed.
This is a limited-edition design created exclusively for this course.

Kit fabric image
This is what the fabric for the kit we're sending you looks like. Since I had some space, I included a new color and pattern for the scarf! ♡
It's a fun kit that makes you excited to cut along the outlines of the parts like a craft and then sew them together with a machine ♪
List of items to prepare before the course
We've created a page listing the tools and equipment you'll need for the course. Generally, what you already have on hand will be fine, but we hope this list will be helpful if you need to purchase anything missing. All items can be bought on Amazon or Rakuten.
Don't worry if you make a mistake!
Do you have "missed payment insurance"?
In the unlikely event that you fail to cut the fabric correctly or make any other mistakes,
please contact us and we will send you the necessary parts free of charge.
"What if I make a mistake?"
This additional benefit was created in response to such concerns.
The main focus of this course is to help you "enjoy completing a garment from start to finish." Therefore, please do not hesitate to contact us if you encounter any difficulties. Let's finish it together!
Even if you can't participate in real-time, it's OK!
Enrollment for archived video lectures is welcome!
Can't make it on the day?
Your schedule might change later?
Such individuals are also very welcome!
After the course ends, we will send you an archive video via email, typically within about an hour, so you can take the course by watching the recorded video.

Instructor Profile
Ryoko
Doll clothes designer / Ryoko Baba, Representative of mimi décor
It all started with "making doll clothes as a hobby." I thought it would be fun if I could make the clothes I wanted for my favorite doll with my own hands. That was the trigger for me to start making doll clothes.
Of course, at first, nothing went well. The shapes didn't turn out as I imagined, and I struggled with making small-sized clothes... Nevertheless, as I continued to create through trial and error, I began to experience the joy of "someone appreciating the clothes I made." From there, I gradually started selling my works and have continued my activities as a doll clothes designer.
Fortunately, many people have seen my work on Instagram, and I've also received commissions for corporate projects and costume production for exhibitions.
