Scroll down to the second set of bullets for the free PDF sewing patterns.
Yesterday I gave you the patterns and tutorial video for making this cute “mermaid skirt” for 14 to 15 inch dolls like Wellie Wishers, Hearts for Hearts girls, and similar-sized dolls.
Today I’m re-posting the pattern and tutorial for the skirt, plus I’m adding the pattern and tutorial for making the adorable lace-trimmed and rickrack-trimmed yellow top that my Wellie Wisher is wearing in the image above.
To make today’s lovely lace-trimmed and rickrack trimmed blouse, plus the skirt to go with it, you’ll need some lace trim (obviously), some rickrack trim (again, obviously), some cotton fabric, some size 2/0 Dritz snaps or 3/4 inch Velcro (for the back of the blouse), and some 1/4 inch elastic (for the waist of your skirt).
