This lovely Hairmazing Fashion Forward doll was a gift from my sister-in-law, and I’m making her a whole new wardrobe. YAY! (So fun!)
If you live in the southern hemisphere of planet earth, summer is right around the corner. So it’s time to make a pair of shorts and a T-shirt, right?

Please note: as an Amazon Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
To make today’s high-waisted shorts with a fly front, you’ll need some cotton fabric (mine uses a small-print fabric, on the outside and a solid color of cotton for the lining), and you’ll also need some snaps.
The T-shirt also uses snaps in the back, but it’s made of jersey fabric.
Now jersey fabric can be quite expensive, so I recommend buying it second-hand. Checkout my FabScrap video to learn more about how you can help save our planet buy purchasing your fabric through a recycling program!

Today’s patterns will fit these dolls:
- Disney Princess 10 inch dolls
- Hairmazing Fashion Forward Fashion Dolls
- Petite Barbie dolls
- Project MC Squared dolls
Note: this crop top looks a little more “cropped” on some of the dolls mentioned above, and the shorts do fit both the Project MC Squared dolls and the Disney princess dolls just a little loosely.
