Sew a halter top and ruffle skirt for Pedigree Sindy with today’s free doll clothes patterns @ ChellyWood.com #PedigreeSindy #Dolls

A pedigree Sindy doll models a handmade halter top made of blue jersey fabric over the top of a white cotton skirt with multicolored blue, red, pink, and yellow flowers dotting the skirt's fabric. The doll's shoes are loafers made of yellow plastic. The doll stands at a slight angle to the viewer's left with her head tilted just a bit. From this angle, we can tell that the halter top closes behind the doll's neck and wraps around to her exposed back to close also at the lower back. The skirt with its one inch wide ruffle is midi length, exposing the doll's lower legs below the mid-calf.

I’ve been having fun dressing my Pedigree Sindy in various doll clothes I’ve made. So if this outfit looks familiar, yes it’s posted elsewhere on my website too.

But as Sindy is an 11 inch doll with a physique somewhat like Barbie’s, of course there are doll clothes patterns in my Barbie collection that will easily fit her.

There are two photos side by side, of a Pedigree Sindy doll modeling a blue halter top with a multicolored floral skirt that has a ruffle. On the right, Sindy raises her right hand, as if waving at a friend, while facing forward. Her halter top from this angle fits her perfectly with an hourglass shape. On the left, the photo shows Sindy raising her left hand while facing toward the left of the viewer. This shows that a lot of the doll's underarm area is exposed from this angle.

In the image on the left above, you can see that there’s a bit of a gap in the underarm area of the halter top, so if I was to make this halter top again, I think I’d use a strip of Velcro instead of snaps for the back closure.

Still, even though I used snaps instead, you can see on the image on the right, that Sindy really does look quite cute in this little halter top and skirt set. She’s dressed for a short hike in the country and a summer picnic!

In this image, Sindy models her halter top and ruffle-edged skirt while standing in a countryside setting. A tree is to the right of her, a dirt road disappears behind her, and in the distance, beyond a grassy plain, there's a small forest of lovely bright green trees under a blue sky. Pedigree Sindy looks perfectly dressed in doll clothes that suit the sunny day.

So if you want to make today’s skirt with a ruffle, you’ll need some cotton fabric (mine is a small-print floral fabric, but you could also make the skirt with a solid color of cotton) and a bit of 1/8 inch elastic.

To make the halter top, you’ll need some jersey fabric and either size 3/0 snaps or Velcro, but I recommend using Velcro as a closure for this top.

Here we see a side view of Pedigree Sindy in her pretty blue halter top and multicolored floral skirt with a ruffle. The skirt's ruffle is quite full and frilly, while the halter top has a bit if a gather under the bust as well.

The American paper version of today’s free pattern also has a bolero pattern, which was designed to fit Barbie, not Sindy. I’ll be posting a tutorial for that project another day, but you’ll get to see a preview of that upcoming project on Thursday this week.

So watch for that preview on my YouTube channel!

You’ll notice that I’ve offered the pattern in both the American “letter” printer paper size and the A4 paper size. Make sure you print the pattern that works best with your printer.

Today’s patterns will fit these dolls:

Note: there’s also a bolero pattern with this set of free PDF sewing patterns, but I haven’t tested the bolero patterns yet. If you follow my YouTube channel or subscribe to my newsletter (look for a red button on the Home page), you’ll likely hear about the bolero project when it has been tested and the tutorial becomes available.

Here are your free, printable PDF sewing patterns and tutorial videos for making the outfit pictured at the top of this page:
