Today’s skirt pattern is a lot like the one I’m posting tomorrow, but tomorrow’s pattern and tutorial will fit 14″ to 15 inch dolls, like Hearts for Hearts Girls and Wellie Wishers. So watch for that tutorial video tomorrow, if you’re interested in finding a similar skirt pattern for bigger dolls.
The patterns I’m giving you today were originally designed for the Queens of Africa doll, but I was pleased to discover that they also fit Tall Barbie and a number of other dolls in the 11″ to 12″ size range:
Today’s patterns will fit these dolls:
- Tall Barbie
- Queens of Africa Dolls
- Momoko dolls
- modern and Made-to-Move Barbie dolls
- vintage Barbie dolls
