Mattel's Barbie models a black felt shirt with a short shamrock black-and-green print cotton skirt that has a layer of tulle under it. The doll stands on the sand at a beach with the coastline behind her.

This outfit and its variations has been available on ChellyWood.com for quite some time, but today I’m converting the JPG patterns to PDFs for easier download.

I first posted these photos on or around St. Patrick’s Day, but imagine the skirt pattern in a back-to-school print, a Halloween Print, or even a harvest-theme or Christmas print. There’s a lot you can do with a simple skirt pattern!

As you can see in the image below, it will fit Curvy Barbies as well as regular ones, although the mini skirt pattern is a little snug on her:

Here we see a lovely Curvy Barbie (from Mattel) modeling a black felt sleeveless shirt and a shamrock-decorated cotton mini skirt with a petticoat of black tulle. She stands on the sand at a beach.

I’ve made this outfit for Skipper too (see below), and the skirt pattern I’m giving you today can create all of these skirt projects:

Each of the dolls is wearing handmade doll clothes in St. Patrick's Day patterns of green, black, and white. The adorable skirts are printed with tiny shamrocks and some skirts are layered with tulle. Overlay says, "ChellyWood.com: Free printable sewing patterns for dolls of many shapes and sizes."

And I’ve also used a longer visible tulle petticoat with the same miniskirt pattern for a slightly different effect, as shown below:

In a doll clothes sewing Facebook group, someone suggested that this bodice pattern has a weird neckline, but remember, this shirt is made of felt. So it’s super easy to simply cut away the neckline to the type of neckline you envision. Trim it down to a V-neck or a square neck, or whatever type of neckline you prefer.

Today’s super simple project will require small print cotton fabric for the skirt, some 1/8 inch elastic, Dritz size 1/0 snaps and craft felt for the shirt, and tulle for the skirt’s petticoat.

Today’s patterns will fit these dolls:

Image shows five dolls wearing skirts ranging from a maxi skirt to a short miniskirt. Each skirt's fabric is made of St. Patrick's day themed print. Two of the skirts use a plaid green made with shamrocks. Three have shamrocks on a black and glittery background. The camera focuses on the skirts, not the dolls' shirts. The dolls are standing on a sandy surface, barefoot, with the ocean in the distance. It's a diorama background rather than a real-world one. A watermark in the lower-right corner says "ChellyWood.com: free printable sewing patterns for dolls of many shapes and sizes."
