For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you chose the Easter egg fabric as your favorite from among these three fabrics, so today I’m sewing Easter clothes for a friend’s granddaughter and I thought I’d share the results and the combination of patterns I’ve used. Here are the different fabrics you were allowed to choose from on Instagram:
Which dolls can wear this Easter halter top and shorts outfit?
- 18-inch (45-46 cm) Madame Alexander dolls
- 18-inch (45-46 cm) American Girl dolls
- 18-inch (45-46 cm) BFC Ink dolls (although I recommend these shorts instead)
- 14.5″ (36.8 cm) Wellie Wisher dolls (although I recommend these shorts instead)
- 15-inch Hearts for Hearts Girls dolls (again, I recommend these shorts instead)
- 18″ (45-46 cm) vintage Crissy dolls (either shorts pattern will work)
- 15 inch (380 mm) vintage Velvet and similar sized dolls (either shorts pattern will work)
- 13 inch Disney princess toddler dolls (once again, I recommend these shorts instead)
- 12-inch baby dolls like the 12.5″ (32 cm) Baby Alive dolls (use my bloomers pattern for baby dolls)
Free patterns and tutorial videos for making this Easter outfit:

Hello. thank you for the tutorial on making pants for 18″ doll. A free pattern is offered, but I cannot find it anywhere on your site.
Could you please help me? Thank you.
Hi Angie. Thank you for leaving a comment. I’m in the process of converting all of my free JPG image patterns to PDF patterns. The pants pattern has already been converted to a PDF on the page that shows a blond 18″ doll wearing denim pants (jeans/dungarees) and a pink shirt with long sleeves.

Meanwhile, I’ve been trying to decide on what to post this Friday, and since you pointed out that the lilac-colored pants don’t have a PDF pattern yet, I think I’ll post that if I have time. So thank you for pointing this out for me!
