Barbie's little sister, Kelly, stands in a cartoonish garden, holding an Easter basket filled with colorful eggs. The doll's pink felt jacket has been embroidered with tiny white flowers and green leaves. The doll is wearing a purple cotton skirt decorated with pastel flowers and leaves as well. The little doll's hands are outstretched to hold her cartoonish Easter basket. Little bees buzz around the tiny painted garden in which she stands. Under her feet is the logo for Chelly Wood dot com.

Easter is a great time to practice embroidery stitches! But if you’re not a fan of embroidery, that’s okay. Today’s “Easter jacket” is easily made without the embroidered details too.

And yes, we’ve seen this project before, but this is the first time I’ve posted it for Kelly. So now I’ll be able to add today’s blog post to the Kelly doll clothes gallery of patterns.

In this photo, a pink felt jacket is slightly open at the front, so you can see its cotton lining. At the bottom of the front of this jacket, a tiny rose has been embroidered on both sides of the jacket's opening. Closer to the side seams, tiny chrysanthemum like flower has been embroidered. Each tiny flower has light green leaves embroidered around it.

If you do plan to embroider your coat or jacket, for your easy access, here’s a link to my embroidery tutorial gallery.

To make the embroidered flowers and leaves that you see on this project, you’ll need the rambler rose, the Algerian star (or daisy stitch), the French knot, the running stitch (for vines), and the detached chain stitch (for leaves).

Here we see the back of the tiny pink felt jacket. Along the bottom of the back of this jacket, there's a twisty light green vine with leaves, and all along the vine are tiny pink dots, indicating rose buds.

OR you could just skip the embroidery and create a lined jacket with no added details. It’s still very cute without the embroidery.

To make today’s embroidered, lined, felt jacket for miniature dolls, you’ll need embroidery floss, embroidery needles (Clover is a good brand), cotton fabric, and a swatch of craft felt.
