    Help Needed: Rescaling outfits

    I really could use some help with downscaling some outfits from about 10" (These are Playmates Star Trek and Big Jim outfits) to 8" Mego-size.
    My sewing skills are limited. I can work on simple patterns like pants and t-shirts, but when it some to rescaling a coat or shirt with sewn-on sleeves and collar, I'm lost.

    Many Thanks!

    Let me know how I can help. Have you tried to trace a pattern of the Playmates outfits on paper? You can probably cut the sleeve pattern in half short-ways, re-tape it, and then smooth out the line where you would sew.

    Check out this link and it may help. If it doesn't, PM me.
