Summertime! Pool time! Splash time! Every pool party needs some fun inflatable toys. With this pattern, you can sew a unicorn swim ring or baby float. This pattern includes instructions to sew stuffed toys to look like pool inflatable toys for your dolls. The pattern works with external seams for a more authentic inflatable look. These are not real inflatable’s and cannot be used in water. Remember your doll cannot play in real water!
These rings are designed to fit 18-inch dolls such as American Girl® Doll. They can also be used for doll play for other 15 - 20 inch dolls such as Bitty Baby®.
The pattern works with NON-Fray fabric with a plastic consistency or non-fiber feel like oilcloth, laminated cotton, PVC or vinyl. I did not need any special accessories to work with this fabric but included is a guide to working with these fabrics.
