Alana, by Genniewren Designs, is a versatile pattern comprising a Hawaiian-style shirt, shorts with contrast trim, and a reversible bucket hat.
The loose-fitting casual shirt is traditionally styled. It has a left breast pocket, notched collar, lined yoke, side slits, short sleeves and is fastened with hook and loop tape, buttons or snaps.
The shorts have a contrast hem band and an elasticized waist for an easy fit.
The whole ensemble is a fun summer outfit that’s ideal beach wear, perfect for a doll’s vacation, for wearing on board a ship, or just for playing in the park or the yard.
The shirt and shorts will also make super summer pajamas for those warm, balmy evenings when long PJ pants are just too much. The shirt would also be great for making school uniforms.
The pattern is perfect for your 15” baby dolls, with instructions included for creating the shirt fastening for both boys and girls. The Alana pattern is a great addition to your pattern collection and will fast become the go-to pattern for many of your doll’s favorite clothes.
This PDF sewing pattern is designed to fit 15" baby dolls such as Bitty Baby® and Bitty Twin®.
The Alana pattern is also available for 18" dolls such as American Girl®.
