We’re delighted that you’re here to join us for F.L.C. Sewing Project #2.

Momoko can’t wait for you to see her new outfit!

Let’s go!

This Month’s Sewing Motto: There’s only one way to learn. It’s through action.

The Alchemist

Dolly Sewing Crush: F.L.C. Project #2

For week 2 we will explore a comfy & cool Parka from Easy Doll Coordinate Recipe on page 47.

In 31 steps, you’ll have a Parka that your doll will never want to take off.

The Parka pattern fits dolls size:

  • 11cm
  • 20cm
  • 22cm
  • 27cm
  • 42cm

The directions for the Parka are written in Japanese and include images so you can visually see the step by step instructions.

Parka from Easy Doll Coordinate Recipe page 47

Your Layout For Sewing Success

Here is your blueprint for making the Parka:

The Hood

  • Sew left & right edges of hood
  • Flip right side out to form hood shape
  • Top stitch along neck seam

The Pockets

  • Top stitch the diagonal edges of pockets
  • Place pockets on the right side of front parka
    • Stitch around the pocket

The Cuff

  • Fold & iron cuffs in half
  • Sew cuffs to the bottom edge of the sleeves
    • Open seams
  • Top stitch above & below the previous stitch

The Parka

  • Sew sleeves to front & back parka
  • Attach hood to parka
  • Sew arm and side seams
    • Notch near the underarms

The Ribbing

  • Sew the left and right edge of the ribbing
  • Attach ribbing to bottom of the parka

Finishing The Parka

  • Top stitch around the parka

Woohoo, the Parka is done!

Final Thoughts:

F.L.C. put a lot of detail into the pattern to make it realistic.

Momoko is enjoying her Parka.

Something I would do differently is use a contrasting thread because the pattern has a lot of pieces and their alignment is very important.

I recommend using contrasting thread to see how the pieces line up and as you become familiar with this pattern give matching thread a try.

Dolly Insider Skill Level Rating:

 Intermediate Friendly: The Parka had little details that were challenging to do.

I wish there were additional images explaining the detailed techniques.

Skill Level: 3 Sewing Pins

Stay tuned next week for the 3rd project!

      Hi Neon,

      I never really paid attention to fluffy clothes in the past but thanks to sewing for dolls I’ve grown to appreciate the style and look forward to adding more fluffy items to their closets and mines. 🙂

      Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
