I don't know if all action figures are the same size, but if they look
like they could wear Ken clothes, some Barbie doll pattern envelopes
include Ken clothes.

Burda's Ken size patterns DO NOT FIT Action Man - he's got too many
muscles! You have to size them up quite a bit...

I just laid down the original clothes and cut out paper paterns that way.
Don't forget to add on the seam allowance, I also added a few extra cms to
the trousers width as the original ones were very tight and action mans legs
are somewhat sticky. Saved me having to take the trousers on and off for
little hands that were struggling.

Action man is quite obliging and will model quietly for hours without
moaning and ours didn't mind when he got a pin stuck in him either! As you
are only using scraps a few mistakes don't matter. Or you could let your
child have a go once you have the paper patterns made, a lot of my first
sewing was for Sindy and Pippa.

I made quite a few outfits for my boys Action Men, including PJ's that
matched my boys ones and Judo Kimono's, black belt of course!!

Sorry, didn't realize Action Man was a specific person. I thought it
was a generic term. I guess I'm out of the toy loop these days.

Then I apologize for posting at all. Apparently I have no excuse.

You certainly haven't, if you're going to get snotty about a basic bit
of information. "These days"?

It's always worth posting surely. The only stupid question is the one you
don't ask.
If you don't ask you'll never know. If I don't know I ask, I'll only look
more stupid later when I am found out for pretending to know when I don't.
Why is this disintergrating into a sniping match?
