It’s the start of October, which is winter coat season in Idaho, where I live, so I thought I’d write a blog post about Simplicity Barbie doll clothes pattern 7601 because it offers a very nice coat and hat pattern, along with a purse.

I’ve written several blog posts on this particular pattern, often with a focus on “how to cut out doll clothes patterns,” which can be very helpful for the beginners who are just learning how to sew doll clothes.

But whether you’re new to sewing or you’ve got a ton of sewing experience under your belt, you’ll probably find at least one of these articles on Simplicity 7601 helpful. Take a look through the list below to read more about the pattern and to see what I’ve made with it:

• How to cut out a Barbie doll clothes sewing pattern PART 2 (How do you cut out the tissue paper pattern?)
• How to cut out a Barbie doll clothes sewing pattern Part 3 (What do the arrows mean?)
• How to cut out a Barbie doll clothes sewing pattern Part 4 (How do you pin it to the fabric?)
• How to cut out a Barbie doll clothes sewing pattern Part 5 (How do you cut it?)

Most of the commercial patterns I display and talk about here on ChellyWood.com are also available for sale on eBay. However, if you’ve never purchased a pattern on eBay before, it’s a good idea to read the article I wrote called, “Tips for Buying Used Doll Clothes Patterns on eBay.” It will save you time, money, and will likely prevent buyer’s remorse.

And by the way, if you use the links I’ve provided to make your eBay purchase, this website will receive a small commission, which helps fund the ChellyWood.com website, so I can continue to provide you with all the free patterns and tutorial videos offered here.
