I thought it might be a good idea to repost these links from the old Arena dollhouse. I just love looking at the custom clothes everyone makes. :) So please post any MH clothes you've made!

@Harvestmgirl, love the outfit! What kind of fabric did you use for the yellow top? I like that it looks kind of shiny. And that jacket is darling.
@Clementine, that is so cute. Those colors go great with Toralei. I love the way her little ears poke out of the hat. XD
-
Nice scarf crochet lol! I keep meaning to make little scarfs and hats for mine.
-
I used swimsuit material. It's really great for making stockings and other things.
-
These are great!
-
Monster High underwear. I love the black ruffle elastic but can't find it in stores now. :huh: Thankfully I still have some more in my fabric stash and it doesn't take a lot to make these.

I finally got a new (to me anyway) digital camera! So now, a better pic of three MH outfits I've made. I couldn't find a pair of shoes that I liked to go with the outfit on Ghoulia, so I just left her barefoot.

There's a pattern book if anyone is so inclined....

Making temporary boots
-----------------------------------------------------
I was inspired by this awesome tutorial here: http://sugarnspicecreations.blogspot.com/2010/10/costume-party-musketeers-part-6.html (http://sugarnspicecreations.blogspot.com/2010/10/costume-party-musketeers-part-6.html). I wouldn't recommend cutting the boots off the doll though; I tried it with Cleo and even though I was careful, the scissors made scratches on her leg. So I'd just leave the boots on until you decide to take them off and just unwrap the tape pieces to remove it.
I used electrical tape instead of duct tape because it's smaller. I cut the strips in half lengthwise to go around her foot.
First, cover the doll's foot with a square of plastic wrap and gather it at the knee. Start with her foot and wrap with strips of electrical tape until all of her foot is covered. Then wrap the strips around her leg until the boot is the heighth you want. Carefully cut off the excess plastic wrap. If you leave just a little bit of the gathered plastic wrap showing at the top, it looks kind of like lace.

I took a page from Bewilderness's book and made a skirt from black ruffle elastic to go over her shorts.

Very nice! I love all the creativity!
I'm addicted to altering barbie dresses! The ornate ones are such a challenge! I bought several MH patterns that I adore as well, the main thing is finding time to play!
-
I just got a set of dress patterns from etsy and I will definitely make clothes now
-
Shockponie, <3 it! ^_^
Colorscapesart and Amenoo, I can't wait to see what you make!
-
Lovely outfits you got here! Salli´s creations are awesome. Love those undies! And Shockponie´s pink skirt is really cute.
I made a new dress for my SS Draculaura. The bow on her hair is from H&M.

Hope she likes pink! This would have been so much easier with the patterns but turned out ok anyway. Now I am working with some boots and another dress. ^.^

I really appreciate you putting all these links together. They are terrific! :)
-
You're welcome. ^_^
Isilra, Lala's dress is so cute! It fits her perfectly!
-
Amazing!! I can sew, but I don't think I could make something so small. Thank you for assembling all the links:)
-
Just want to add that the "craft" section of WalMart has fat quarters of adorable patterned quilting fabric for like... 97 cents. :3 I'm gonna try to make some dresses!

Has anyone tried Simplicity 1955 patterns? Here's the one I'm talking about: http://sewing.patternreview.com/Patterns/50525#.UHiItIasrcs
Supposedly it has three sizes and the smallest size fits Bratz, so I figured they might just work for MH.

I have it, and it's all cut out and scanned and everything...and I only tried the View E jacket. It was a bit too big in the back, but that's easily altered. Now that you mention it, I really should try some of the other pieces. It's just that...when I find a free pattern online, I nearly can't rest until I've sewn it, and the stuff I bought tends to fall by the wayside. I can tell ya'll that NG Creations (eBay) patterns have sewn up pretty well, and the Kristine Ann's dresses pattern (Etsy) didn't quite work on the inset dress - the back piece was too narrow - but the rest have worked well and quickly.
I need to look through the links on the first page of this thread, and see if I have any not already there, too...
Well. I suddenly have a very busy weekend ahead of me :)

My mom said she's going to get me the pattern pack today. She has a ton of scrap fabric, so we can just try them out and make adjustments to the patterns as needed.

Would you please add this link to the list?
