Dolly Sewing Crush: RosalynnPerle Project #4

It’s a beautiful day in the land of dolls and we’re over the moon that you’re joining us for the final RosalynnPerle Sewing Crush.

This Month’s Sewing Motto:
Do Not Be Embarrassed By Your Failures, Learn From Them And Start Again.
-Richard Branson

To wind things down, we made a casual pair of Pants.

Flip to page 59 in Doll Coordinate Recipe 12: Sweet Fairy Tale, to make these Pants and in 14 steps, you’ll have a trendy doll.

The Pants pattern fits dolls size:

Hina-chan looks casual and comfy in her outfit.

She’s been enjoying the attention and can’t wait for us to make more clothes for her.

Intermediate Friendly

The instructions for creating the pockets were puzzling.

I stared at the diagram and the pockets for nearly 30 mins (felt like hrs) and then finally I had a light bulb moment and understood what to do.

This is an easy project that comes together in a breeze, minus the confusing pockets.

The pants turned out too big for Hina-chan.

I don’t know if they are designed to be this big or what.

Where did the days go?

The time we’ve spent together this month was a blast.

We hope you gained some dolly crafting inspo this month.
