If you’re a fan of my Romeo and Juliet with Dolls stop-motion video series, you’ve probably seen photos of my Ken dolls in bi-colored pants. Maybe you wondered how to make them.

In today’s tutorial, I take a pattern we’ve had here on ChellyWood.com before — my basic elastic-waist Ken pants pattern — and I show you how to cut and sew the pattern to form a pair of pants that are made of two different fabrics.

The shirt my Ken doll is wearing in the images uses the raglan-sleeved shirt project, which you can find at this link. I sewed a little brown patch on mine, to make it look like he’s a medieval peasant or maybe a huntsman in the woods.

If you’d like to make a pair of bi-colored Renaissance style pants/trousers for your Ken dolls, you’ll need some cotton fabric and a bit of 1/8 inch wide elastic. To make the shirt, you’ll want some jersey fabric and a few size 3/0 snaps.
