    Not quite quilting......but sort of.... does anyone know of a source for knitted, crocheted, quilted patterns to make for a 24" walking doll from the 70-80's?

    We have patterns for the 18" and are trying to adjust them....but if anyone has a source for the larger size that would be great, thanks!

    I used to make 24" dolls years ago. I dressed them in baby clothes and shoes. Usually 12 month clothes fit with a bit of adjustmant. Often I found the outfits at garage sales/thrift shops for next to nothing. Size 2 or 3 baby shoes and socks fit my dolls. They are so fun to dress.

    When my daughter was young, she had a 24" doll and we used to dress her in 12 - 24 month clothes. As sizes have changed over the years (40 years ago), you might check baby clothes patterns with doll measurements if you want to make the clothes. Hope this helps
