Calling all dolls ready for an adventure! The Skirts With Pockets PDF Pattern Bundle, by Forever 18 Inches, features two casual skirts with deep pockets—so handy for dolls and their friends who want to stow important treasures! Option 1 features decorative topstitching, two deep cargo pockets, and tab belt loops that can display an optional tie belt or a traditional belt with a buckle. The Option 2 nautical skirt has decorative topstitching, an inset panel, deep patch pockets, a faux-buttoned waistband, and a straight gathered skirt that can be used with border prints or stripes. Option 3 is a simplified version of Option 2 to make the skirt an easy-level sewing project for newer seamstresses. All skirts have flat fronts and elasticized backs for easy dressing and a universal fit.
