Today’s video is a re-mastered version of an older tutorial that needed some voice-over. I’m trying to re-master these older videos now and then, so people who are visually impaired and also people who don’t speak English will be able to follow the directions more easily.
In today’s tutorial, I mention that you’ll need a 4-inch separating zipper, which is why today’s pattern has been given five flowers on my difficulty scale. This project is definitely not for the beginners out there!
Here’s the link to a 4 inch separating Zipper on Etsy. The original one that I bought for the video is no longer available, but this link takes you to a reversible 4 inch zipper. The nice thing about a reversible zipper is this: you don’t have to worry about whether or not you’ve got the pull on the correct side! YAY!
I’ve updated the pattern for the jacket to include a seam allowance, which it did not have in the original rendition. So that’s good too.
Today’s patterns will fit these dolls:
