For your free patterns and tutorial videos, please scroll down to the THIRD set of bullets.
As you can see in the images above and below, today’s free pattern is for a 10 inch posable Moana doll. It fits a number of other dolls, as you’ll see below, but I especially like how these colors look on Moana for the holidays! What a nice gift this will make for a child at Christmas time!
The pattern and tutorial for the Mary Jane style shoes is also available with today’s patterns, but be advised that I first designed this shoe pattern to fit Monster High and Ever After High dolls.
I was really surprised when I discovered it will also fit Moana’s feet.
Please be advised that the dress that you’ll find on the pattern page with the shoes — that dress will not fit Moana.
To make the sleeveless top, you’ll need a little bit of craft felt, and to make the skirt, you’ll want some holiday fabric with a small print. Of course, if you’re making this outfit at some other time of year, there are plenty of other small print fabrics to use.
The skirt will also need some 1/8 inch braided elastic, and the felt shirt will need some size 3/0 Dritz snaps.
To make the shoes, you’ll need the following:
- for the side “wall” of the shoe, the toe ribbon, and the elasticized ribbon, use 1/2 inch (approx. 1 cm) ribbon or decorative elastic
- you’ll also need some beading (cord) elastic to place inside the ribbon (unless you choose elasticized ribbon, which is stretchy enough by itself)
- for the toe of the shoe, use cotton fabric
- for the heel ribbon, use 1/8 inch ribbon
- for the inner sole (in spite of what it says on the pattern), you’ll need both cotton fabric and some craft foam
- for the outer sole, you’ll need some more craft foam
Today’s patterns will fit these dolls*:
- Disney’s 10 inch Moana dolls
- Rainbow High 10 and a half inch dolls
- Monster High female dolls*
- Ever After High female dolls*
- DC Superhero Girls dolls with removable shoes*
*For all the dolls with the asterisk, the felt shirt will be too big. However, you can make them a similar shirt, using patterns on their respective gallery pages, on this website.
