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:
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:
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:
- Queens of Africa Dolls
- Momoko dolls
- modern and Made-to-Move Barbie dolls
- vintage Barbie dolls
- vintage Francie dolls
- Liv dolls
- Skipper
