Doesn’t my Moana doll look adorable in this swingy crop top and matching pants? She’s such a sweet little doll to sew for!

I used a strip of 3/4 inch wide Velcro cut in half down the middle (cut vertically, down the middle of the long strip) for my back closure on the shirt. That’s what makes it seems so swingy, I think.
The pants are made of solid cotton fabric, but they would also look nice, I think, in Halloween print fabric or stretch denim. They use 1/8 inch wide elastic from Elastic by the Yard for the waist.

The shirt is made of solid cotton, and as I said, you’ll need some sew-on Velcro for your closure.

According to Wikipedia, “Ideal Toy Company was an American toy company founded by Morris Michtom and his wife, Rose. During the post–World War II baby boom era, Ideal became the largest doll-making company in the United States.” They produced the Tammy family line of dolls, including Ideal Pepper dolls, but eventually the Tammy line of dolls went out of production (with the exception of the Sindy doll — the UK version — which has had a recent revival). There have been a complicated series of sales of rights for Ideal toys since then, and you can read about it on Wikipedia, if you’re interested. But at the time of this blog post, the trademark name “Tammy” for these dolls was abandoned and has remained “dead” (according to the US Trademark database) since 2004.
