Sweet Gingham Doll Dress

I whipped up this doll dress for Miss H's American Girl doll to match her birthday dress from last year. I've had it done for a while, but the procrastinator in me....well, you get the idea. The bonnet was made from the leftover piece I cut off of a straw hat to make Miss H's bonnet.

6 Gore Skirt Tutorial (For Big People, Little People, And American Girl Dolls Too)


I would encourage you to check out this awesome website where I found the tutorial for the basic skirt www.patternsthatfityou.com. There are all kinds of great tailoring tips and online classes. I'll reiterate the instructions here (for myself as much as for you) just in case it disappears someday. (Go to their home page and click on the 6 Gore Skirt Pattern Class on the right side. It's free, but you need to add it to your cart and complete the process.)

I've added my own instructions for both a high pointed waistband and a high straight waistband to use with this skirt. The original uses a regular waistband and those instructions are also included here.

Doll's Cherry Jumperskirt

Miss H dug out the scraps from this year's birthday dress and I whipped up a matching doll dress..No Lolita outfit would be complete without a shirt, bloomers, and a petticoat...

Colonial Doll Dress

I whipped up a pretty colonial style doll dress for Miss H's new American Girl dolls. This was an old bed skirt languishing in my fabric collection.This is a two piece dress. Here's the bodice.
I also made a mob cap and apron to go with it. Miss H embroidered tiny pink flowers in the lower right corner of the apron.
