Sewing patterns for 18-inch dolls

Je n'aime pas beaucoup les poupées American Doll - (18" - 45 cm) que je trouve trop "grosses" (chubby), mais les vêtements créés pour ces poupées peuvent également aller aux poupées Karito Kids - (21" - 53 cm) - que je préfère nettement plus! (photo ci-contre : Karito Kids Leza).

Sur Amazon.com, il y a de nombreux patrons de couture pour poupées mesurant 18". Certains peuvent être envoyés en France - recherchez cette phrase : ("This item is also available for shipping so select countries outside the U.S."), dans la description de l'objet.
