Sew a beautiful party dress for Kuu Kuu Harajuku dolls w/today’s free patterns!

The image shows a Kuu Kuu Harajuku G doll dressed in a handmade yellow dress that has a print of tiny bees on it. The dress has a full skirt made of the same yellow fabric with a petticoat to make it even more full, black cap sleeves made with bias tape, and a black collar made of bias tape. In this photo, the doll seems to be near an Italian villa-style cafe, and the white wicker table and white wicker chair by which she stands have a little pink and white tea set displayed on the table with the doll's hand at the top of the chair. The doll wears black plastic shoes. Her face is turned slightly to the right of the viewer, but we can still see the teeny-tiny hair clip in her hair.

Today’s doll dress has appeared on ChellyWood.com before, but this is the first time I’ve associated this free pattern with my lovely “G” doll from the Kuu Kuu Harajuku animated television show.

But isn’t she so, so sweet in this dress? A "G" doll from the Kuu Kuu Harajuku animated TV show sits in a white wicker chair beside a white wicker table. There's a tea pot, a tiny cup, and a tiny sugar bowl on the wicker table, but "G" looks to the left of the viewer instead of looking at her tea. As she's seated in the chair, it looks like the full skirt of her yellow handmade cotton dress has spread out, slightly exposing her little tulle petticoat beneath the skirt. The hair clip that holds back her curled too-long bangs rests just above the "space bun" style pig tails she wears. Behind her, we see a lovely Italian villa or cafe.

Along the same lines, imagine this pretty dress in one of these lovely fall colors with gold or blue bias tape trim:

Here we see four fall fabrics. On the left is a cotton made of dark brown with tiny gold polka dots; slightly to the right of that is a grey background cotton with fall leaves and flowers in different shades of gold, blue, orange, and brown; to the right of this one is a burnt umber colored cotton with tiny crosses in a creamy tan color; the farthest right is a deep chocolate brown colored fabric with lighter brown leaves and blue flowers. These four fabrics coordinate well together, as if they were part of a quilter's set.

Today’s project zips in the back, which is something that may be new to some of you. But don’t worry, I’ll walk you through how to sew a zipper in the tutorial video I’m linking to, below.

Please note, however, the same dress is shown on a different doll in the tutorial video. That’s okay though; I’m showing you the exact same dress in these photos, so we can all be sure it does fit the Kuu Kuu Harajuku dolls.

Okay, so to make this pretty little dress project, you’ll need some small print cotton fabric , a 3-inch zipper, and either 1/2 inch bias tape that’s not folded or 1/4 inch folded bias tape.

Please note: you may want some tulle, as well, which will make your skirt very full. However this is optional.
