This Month’s Sewing Motto: Never Stop Improving
Dolly Sewing Crush: peu connu Project #1
The weather is heating up in Texas and our dolls are feeling the effects.
To keep them cool this summer we turned to Doll’s Closet Romantic book and found an adorable Jumper on page 102.
In 35 steps you’ll see the results of your hard work.
The Jumper pattern fits dolls size:
- 20 cm
- 22 cm
- 27 cm
The directions for the Jumper 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 Jumper:
The Bottom
- Pin tulle to pants and sew front crotch
- Fold & sew hem of bottom (making sure to move tulle out of the way)
- Attach elastic above hem
The Top
- Pin & sew tulle & bias to top
- Fold bias over the edge of top
- Top stitch
- Top stitch another line (creating a casing)
The Romper
- Attach top to bottom
- Top stitch along seam
- Top stitch another line (creating a casing)
- Feed elastic through both casings
- Grab doll to adjust & fit jumper
- Sew back close
- Sew along bottom legs
Yippee, the Jumper is complete!


Final Thoughts:
This Jumper is sooo cute.
Layering tulle on top of the fabric is a lovely detail that gives the Jumper that romantic feel.
The girls are planning what adventures they want to to do this summer.

Dolly Insider Skill Level Rating:
Intermediate Friendly
Feeding the elastic through the casing was challenging.
I’m not sure if I sewed my casing too small making it tough. ?

See you next week for the 2nd project!

So cute!!!! That tulle layer is a genius idea!
I’ve been eyeing this book. It has so many lovely outfits, my girls would love them.
I tried filling out the giveaway form, but it didn’t ask for email adress, so I don’t know if it worked out?
Hey Neon,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
We’ve checked and your entry did go through 🙂
I think the system must’ve remembered your email address from the previous giveaway.
This book has so many goodies that you won’t be disappointed.
