Let’s sew a Saint Patrick’s Day dress for MH or EAH dolls w/free pattern @ ChellyWood.com #StPatricksDay #DollClothesPatterns

This photograph shows a Draculaura doll in an elegant ballroom where a tea set rests on a wicker table beside a wicker chair. There's a bust of a famous composer (impossible to tell which one) directly behind her. Also at her back is a famous painting of Romeo and Juliet framed in gold. The doll stands with one hand on her hip, which makes her A line dress skirt seem even more bell like. The dress she wears has Kelly green cuffs and a green and black tiny plaid pattern. The skirt of the dress is embellished with Kelly green ribbon. The short cuffed sleeves are slightly puffed.

With St. Patrick’s day exactly one month away, it’s time to start your Saint Paddy’s Day sewing projects!

So today I’m giving you the patterns and tutorials for making a super cute puff-sleeved A-line dress with cuffs, and the cuffs are made of bias tape for a simple approach to sewing those lovely puffy sleeves.

Yes, this pattern has appeared here, on this website, in the past. However this is the first time I’ve specifically posted the pattern for the Monster High dolls and Ever After High dolls.

And because the Monster High and Ever After High dolls can vary widely in their body molds, please note that if your doll has very, VERY wide fingers, then their hand may not fit through the cuffs. You can check for this by taking the paper pattern for the cuff and pinching the ends between your fingers (to simulate a seam allowance) while slipping the doll’s hand through the paper cuff.

All you’d need to make the dress is some small-print holiday fabric, 1/2 inch bias tape for the cuffs, 1/8 inch ribbon for the trim, and some size 4/0 Dritz snaps.

You don’t have to use holiday fabric, though. You can use solid cotton or small-print cotton instead.

On this very simple set, an Ever After High doll models a short dress with an A-like skirt and cuffs beneath the dress's puff short sleeves. Under the dress, the doll wears a pair of bloomers with lace around the bottom of them. Click on the link in the caption, and it will take you to a page where you can download and print all the free printable sewing patterns for making these doll clothes, along with links to tutorial videos that show you how to make this outfit.

Now, in the photo above, you can see that it’s possible to make a pair of bloomers to go under your little A-line dress! To make the bloomers, you’ll need 1/8 inch elasticmuslin or solid cotton fabric, and lace trim.
