Let’s make a “Red Hat Society” dress and hat with free patterns @ ChellyWood.com #RedHatSociety #Barbie

On a beach with palm trees and a sunset in the distance, we see a beautiful flat-footed Barbie from the 1980's, wearing a "Red Hat Society" themed dress made of red fabric printed with many tiny hats of different colors. The underside of Barbie's wide-brimmed hat also has this multi-colored hat printed cotton fabric. The doll's hat is solid red on top. The dress has a scoop neck with a sleeveless bodice and a full, gathered skirt. She wears red plastic flats which are not included in the sale of the outfit on Chelly Wood's shop page.

If you’re not one for sewing doll clothes, you’re in luck! I don’t normally sell my handmade doll clothes, but today I’m selling my “Red Hat Society” doll dress and hat which appear at the top of today’s blog post.

Navigate over to my online store to learn about how you can buy the “Red Hat Society” dress and broad-brimmed hat, which will fit most fashion dolls like Barbie.

Barbie is shown with palm trees behind her. She wears a red hat that's made of solid red fabric on top and a printed red fabric that shows under the brim. The print pattern is a series of tiny little hats, a lot like the red hat she's wearing. You might think of this as a "Red Hat Society" style of hat!

Now the party dress my Barbie is wearing in these images should look familiar to most of my online followers and friends because I’ve had this pattern available for quite some time now.

In fact, it’s the pattern I’ve used to make the little white dress with multicolored polka dots that appears on my doll-sized sewing dress form, in the sewing room, in my videos!

In this photo, a flat-footed Barbie from the 1980's models a handmade red sleeveless dress with a U-shaped neckline and knee-length gathered skirt. The hat she wears uses the same red fabric printed with tiny multicolored hats as the dress (on the hat's underside). The hat and dress make up the "Red Hat Society" ensemble that Chelly Wood made to sell in her online shop at Chelly Wood dot com. The red plastic shoes are not for sale.

If you want to make the dress, you’re going to need some cotton fabric and Dritz 2/0 snaps.

To make the “Sunday Best” or Easter bonnet style broad-brimmed hat for fashion dolls like Barbie, you’ll need some cotton fabric and craft foam.

You may also want to buy some Fiskars Stitchers (the tiny scissors that help me clip my seams), if you don’t already own some of those.

This is the JPG image of a hat pattern for a Barbie or similar sized fashion doll. It is marked with Creative Commons Attribution symbols and the Chelly Wood dot com logo, so please share it with your followers if you choose to download the PDF (which is found in the second set of bullets in the original blog post for this hat pattern) and use it. This pattern is marked with four flowers, which means it's a somewhat difficult pattern to work with.
