Scroll down to the second set of bullets for the free PDF sewing patterns.

Today’s tutorial video is actually related to a class I’m working on for Creative Spark. I do a lot of my blog posts weeks in advance, and so, by the time this posts, my new class (which teaches people how to design doll pants from scratch) may already be available on the Creative Spark website.

The tutorial at the top of this page will show you how to make a pair of high-waisted pants or jeans with a high waist to fit 15 inch vintage Ideal Velvet dolls (the cousin of the Ideal Crissy doll). These are fitted pants with a fly.

Not sure what I mean by that? Have a look at the image below.

This is a close-up image of the fly on the front of this vintage Velvet doll's jeans or dungarees. The pants have two snaps behind a fly, but only one snap is sealed, allowing us to peek inside the fly just a bit. The fly is rounded at the bottom and has more of a right angle at the top of the jeans' high waist. The white cotton shirt with tiny flowers in shades of pale blue, denim blue, red, and yellow has been tucked into the waist of her jeans.

A fly is that flap on the front of a pair of pants or jeans, where you usually pull up a zipper. But for my pants or jeans, you’ll want to use little snaps to seal the fly.

I mean, you could use a teeny-tiny zipper, but most people don’t have zippers small enough to fit these pants.

The items you’ll need to make these pants or jeans are simple: some cotton (for pants) or lightweight denim (for jeans) and two size 3/0 Dritz snaps.

And here’s another one:

An Ideal Velvet doll stands perpendicular to the camera, but her face is turned toward the camera. At this angle, we can see that the jeans she wears do, indeed, have a high waist with a snap-front fly. She also wears a pretty white short-sleeved cotton shirt, the fabric of which is dotted with colorful flowers including denim blue flowers that nicely match her dark blue jeans. Her bright eyes smile at us with a friendly face. Her hair is platinum blond and the front part of her hair falls only to her shoulders, but in back, we can see that it cascades down her back to about the waist.

The Crissy family of dolls which includes dolls like vintage CrissyVelvet, and other dolls, were produced by the Ideal Toy Corporation, which held the registered trademark for them. That company is no longer producing the dolls, and at the time of this blog post, it looks like Mattel currently owns the trademark for Crissy (although to my knowledge, they are not producing them). If you wish to purchase one of these dolls, you can sometimes find them used, in good condition, on eBay (see link in the first set of bullets).
