 |  | | From Kate Pullen, your About Arts & Crafts Editor | | | At a craft show recently, I found myself drawn to a display of exquisitely handcrafted clothes for dolls. Each piece was a tiny showcase for a range of different crafting techniques. These weren't clothes for kids' dolls—they were pieces of doll-sized, wearable art. I was so inspired I went home, got on eBay on a hunt for a suitable doll to dress and then started to browse our sites looking for inspiration. If you're on the look-out for something new to do, then how about working small scale and creating some tiny fashion? You'll find plenty to get you started below. Happy crafting!
