Whether you choose to make the full flowing bell with softly draping fabric or the more refined bell for a more structured look, your doll is going to be hoping for several of each!
- View A is reminiscent of the “elephant” bells of the 1970s. Make these using a soft fabric with fluid drape for a modern spin on this great look.
- View B is the perfect opportunity to try out some of those fancy stitches on your machine or use some fun narrow trim in place of the machine stitching.
Both views have bells that attach to the upper pants section at the knee. Extra length makes them perfect for wearing with platform shoes. An elastic waist makes the fitting easy.
This is a simple, easy design, but it has been rated as Intermediate on the cover because of the type of fabric recommended for View A. A Confident Beginner should be able to make these without any problems using a woven cotton.
