Has anyone made clothes for build a bear?

Hi all, my little girl was bought a build a bear rabbit from a car boot and she really likes dressing it up however I am not willing to pay £10 an outfit for them. I have loads of wool and fabric at home and was gonna have a go at making some clothes for it. Has anyone else done this and can give me some tips? Would newborn baby knitting patterns fit? I was gonna get the other clothes and make some fabric clothes from that but she wants a cardigan for it as well lol

thanks in advance

That is a great idea. I remember my mum making my sister clothes for her barbie every night before Christmas. I was so delighted when I got a set myself. They came in an old biscuit tin for the wardrobe.

Maybe something like a 16inch doll clothes would work.

Try this site.

Good luck

Thankyou! My nan used to knit barbie clothes for me, they were amazing and loads better than the ones you can buy.

I'd like to make some of these too. Both my children like the build a bear and the Argos versions, so will have a go too. Any more patterns out there?

Had a look round and found a blog post that says Cabbage Patch dolls clothes patterns will fit build a bear. Also this dress should fit:

Here's a cute jumper to knit: http://www.kidsknits.com/free/monkstergetsstranded.html and another http://www.kidsknits.com/free/monkster.htm

Last one I can only like to on ravelry. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/toy-pullover-or-vest You will probably need to set yourself up with a user name and password - but if you like knitting you will find just lots here anyway.

I found these by searching for build a bear in ravelry.
