I picked up some 'people' clothes at Value Village this week, that I've washed and mostly 'deconstructed' - cut apart so that it's just flat fabric without all the seams.
I cut apart a Levi's denim shirt to make into jeans, and two boy's shirts with tiny plaid for shirts. And a really pretty, fine purple corduroy jumper to make into two doll dresses.

I was thinking of maybe taking step-by-step photos when I make the JID shirts, and creating a pattern tutorial, as the shirts fit both my guys and the ladies as well. The girls just need a little shorter sleeve and shirt length, but otherwise it's the same pattern.
Doll shirts aren't the easiest thing to make, as they have to be made just like human-size shirts, but in miniature - with tiny collar and neck band. And so many of the doll shirts I see out there aren't quite right, with the collar being way too high in front. So, maybe a shirt pattern would be welcome.
