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.


Your Layout For Sewing Success
Here is your blueprint for making the French Sleeve T-shirt:
The French Sleeve T-shirt
- Sew back & front shoulder seams together
- Clip notches along the armhole
- Fold down & sew
- Clip notches along the collar
- Fold down & sew
- Sew back & front side seams together
- Fold & sew hem of shirt
- Fold top section of back edges & sew
- Sew the back close

Yippee, the French Sleeve T-shirt is complete!

Final Thoughts:
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.
