Over the past two years, my children have made a lot of doll clothing, and their sewing skills have improved. These patterns range from ones we found for free to ones I’ve made specifically for them.

Our own cardigan pattern was created. (OK, I notice a pattern here where we just make things up as we go.) However, I’ve been working on this dress pattern for the past four years
These are really adorable when worn with a pillowcase top by baby dolls! A free pattern for a pillowcase dress can be found here. Simply cut it down for baby dolls.
Finally, we created a template for cold shoulder tops because my oldest daughter wanted to try them. (I’m trying to determine where we got the shorts pattern from.) Then we created matching tassel necklaces.

After two pandemic years, Navratri celebrations are starting up again, as people are looking for and refurbishing antique dolls. In order to discover why, we journey through Moore Market, galleries, and museums in Chennai. Over the past few years, Ashvin Rajagopalan, curator at Ashvita Art Gallery, has been amassing a collection of antique dolls. He is not alone either.
