Do you have an outfit in your closet that you’ve worn multiple times but each time you wear it, it looks like a different outfit?
This week, Jun is wearing her jumper but with a twist, giving it a new look.
Let’s get to it.
This Month’s Sewing Motto:
Never Stop Improving
Dolly Sewing Crush: peu connu Project #2
This week, we made a cool French Sleeve T-shirt that pairs nicely with the jumper outfit.
You can find this French Sleeve T-shirt on page 106 in the Doll’s Closet Romantic book.
This project has 25 steps.
The French Sleeve T-shirt pattern fits dolls size:
- 20 cm
- 22 cm
- 27 cm
The directions for the French Sleeve T-shirt are written in Japanese and include images so you can visually see the step by step instructions.

Here is your blueprint for making the French Sleeve T-shirt:

I’m the type of dresser who wears one look the same way but thanks to this project, I wanna be adventurous and mix and match pieces to create new looks, for myself, and for the dolls.
