Free Ken doll jacket patterns, shirt pattern, and pants patterns, to make a full suit!

I’m re-posting this ken suit pattern page because I’ve updated all these patterns from JPG images to easy-to-download PDF’s!

But I need to apologize…

On more than one occasion, people have complained that it’s really hard to see my black thread stitches on the black felt of this dinner jacket. So I’ve got “re-do Ken jacket tutorial” on my Editable Sewing Planner, which, by the way, is for sale in my Etsy store right now, for just 99 cents (American).

Do you see that goal I’ve set for myself of a $5,000 profit? Yeah… That’s not gonna happen by the end of 2023. Right now I’m just trying to break even! Soooo….

If you don’t see anything for sale in my Etsy store that interests you, you can still buy something from my online store. In fact, it’s possible to buy all the supplies you need to make Ken’s dinner attire in my shop. But to make it easier for you, I’ve provided my affiliate marketing links with each item of clothing below.

Sorry for the “beg fest,” but like everyone else is noticing, this has been a very tricky year financially. Remember my battle with West Nile virus? Ugh! That hospital bill was expensive!
