I first posted these patterns for my mini Elsa doll around Easter time this past spring, but let’s think outside the box here…

You don’t have to use Easter-egg-print fabric.

Any small print or solid cotton fabric will be just fine. What about a small-print Christmas fabric for the skirt? Use some red, green, or white felt for the little sleeveless top and the embroidered jacket.

You could change the embroidered pink roses on the jacket to holly leaves in Christmas colors too!

In the image above, I’m using a detached chain stitch for the leaves and a French knot for the tiny roses. The vine is made using the whipped running stitch. Imagine the vine in a darker green with tiny red French knots as holly berries.

Or you could try the whole outfit in fall colors maybe…

In addition to basic fabrics, you’ll also need some size 4/0 snaps to make the back closure for your felt shirt, and you’ll also need a little 1/8 inch elastic for the skirt’s waist.

As you’ll see in the list below, this outfit will fit a lot of dolls in the 5-inch, 6-inch, and even 7-inch size range!

But surprisingly, my little vintage Strawberry Shortcake’s feet actually fit inside these slippers, which I designed to fit my Mattel Barbie and Francie dolls. I just trimmed up the bottom part of the slipper to fit Strawberry Shortcake’s shorter foot.

 

So you’ll see that Barbie-sized slipper pattern among the patterns and tutorial video links in my second set of bullets below.
