Hina-chan is so excited to see you again.
She’s been prancing around the house all week.
Let’s see why she has such happy feet.
This Month’s Sewing Motto:
A skill is hard before it becomes easy.
It’s okay to make mistakes in the beginning

Dolly Sewing Crush: Araki Sawako Project #2
This week, the item we made to add to Hina-chan’s ballerina look are pair of tights that glide smoothly across the stage.
You can find these Tights by flipping to page 60 in Obitsu 11 Pattern Textbook: 11cm Size Girl Clothes.
In 6 steps, your doll will be prancing around in their new Tights.
The directions for the Tights are written in Japanese and include images so you can visually see the step by step instructions.
Your Layout For Sewing Success
Here is your blueprint for making the Tights:
The Tights
- Sew elastic to the waistband
- Right sides together sew the crotch
- Tape the tight pattern on fabric
- Sew around the pattern along the inseam & feet
- Trim seam allowance of inseam
- Turn right side out
Hurrah, the Tights are complete!
Final Thoughts:
Hina-chan is getting used to her ballet attire.
Dolly Insider Skill Level Rating:
