Have fabric with some 7 " dolls -with a 30's look so bought the other fabric that has the clothes . Planning a quilt with pocket for the clothes. BUT, I think the clothes
need some kind of backing on it so it will cling to the doll and not fall off.
Called friend who suggested " iron on " product then we thought of flannel which we may have seen at a quilt
show last yr. For anyone who has seen these would you
please tell me any info as I have been waiting days to get to this project. My thoughts were that the cloth alone would not be stiff enough to handle if it was a dress.

I used a relatively stiff plastic for the back of the dolls and a one-sided fusible fabric for the clothes. Then, I glued on small squares of velcro on the doll and on the clothes--two "matched" places seems to be enough. This has worked well.
