Small knitting needles or crochet hooks and some yarn would let you make simple clothes for dolls. Small stitches keep the garments from catching on the doll’s fingers when you are dressing them.
Hand sewing might work better for small doll clothes than a machine would, if you have experience in doing hand sewing.
