I’ve had this pattern on my website for quite some time, but it has never been offered as a free printable PDF pattern before. So today I’m upgrading this pattern to a PDF.

When you print the pattern, you’ll see the image of the purple summer top displayed on the middle bodice pattern. That’s the one you should use: the pattern in the middle of the page.

Cut one from felt. No hemming is required because it’s felt.

All you need to make the tank top is a swatch of craft felt, about three  Dritz snaps, and some 1/8 inch Offray ribbon to match the color of the felt.

Today’s patterns will fit these dolls:
