This listing offers Flossie Potter's 1980s Workout Wardrobe bundled with the "Sports & Dance Bag" to carry all of your doll's necessities to the gym! These patterns are available separately but here you can buy them bundled together and save!
Flossie Potter's "1980s Workout Wardrobe" is an iconic design for exercise wear. Its interchangeable pieces allow you to create many combinations. The leotard has long straps and low waistline; the "tee-o-tard" is an off-shoulder tee shirt that tapers and connects between the legs to keep it tucked in. The open-toed leg portions can connect to either the leotard or tee-o-tard to create the illusion of leggings underneath without the bulk of extra fabric or waistband, and it's made of stretch fabric which makes it very easy to put on and take off.
Accessories include very '80s stirrup leg warmers, wrist bands, and a headband.
This 15-page PDF sewing pattern is a labeled as "Easy Plus" because it sews up quickly. Even less-experienced seamstresses can make it easily if they practice a zigzag stitch on stretch fabric.
Skill Level: Easy Plus
Sports Bag Pattern Description:
Make Flossie Potter's realistic doll-size Sports & Dance Bag with BONUS ID Tag for your 18" dolls. The cylindrical bag is lined and zips across the top so that nothing falls out.

The bag can be plain, or you can embellish it with appliques so your sister dolls will know which one is theirs!
This EASY 22-page PDF sewing pattern with full-color photo illustrations shows you step-by-step how to create the Bag and Tag. They're so much fun to make, you'll want to sew them over and over again!
