This dress probably looks very familiar to my regular followers; I actually posted the pattern for it last month. You’ll remember that we used it to make those super-easy-peasy sleeveless felt shirts that fit just about every fashion doll on the face of the earth! Here’s a link to those tutorials.

Now I’m back to show you how very simple it is to attach a little skirt to that same sleeveless felt shirt pattern. As it implies in the video, this pattern will fit the little 8″ Bratz® dolls, Mattel’s Skipper® (in all of her incarnations), the 10″ Disney Princess® dolls, and a few other dolls in that size range. (A Whats-Her-Face doll is pictured in the video with pink hair, for example.)

Just in case you didn’t catch that, here’s the pattern that goes with the tutorial above. This pattern and tutorial are so simple, even a child can make this pretty little Easter dress!

But if you have any questions or need help, feel free to message me.

Please note: you must enlarge my patterns to fit a full-sized piece of American computer paper (8.5 x 11 inches or 216 x 279 mm) without margins, before printing. These designs use a 1/4 inch seam (standard for fashion doll sewing projects).

If you’re wondering why I make patterns and videos without charging a fee, please visit the “Chelly’s Books” page, and that should explain my general motivations. It’s always friendly and kind to show your appreciation for my free patterns and tutorials by liking them on Facebook, pinning them on Pinterest, and/or tweeting about them (yes, you have my permission). You’re also welcome to add any of my YouTube channel’s videos to your playlists.

In case you haven’t heard, I’ve also designed commercial patterns for Lammily LLC. They have some new dolls in their line, including a new male doll, so you might want to visit the Lammily website to see what they’ve got going on.

I also have a series of tutorials for the beginning sewists on my YouTube channel. It includes video tutorials showing you how to do a basic straight stitch when sewing by hand, how to gather fabric, how to use the whipstitch to hem a garment, how to sew on snaps, and even how to design your own doll clothes patterns, just like I do!
