How about a doll's day at the Renaissance Festival? Does your doll want to become a Knight? This Knight's Armor pattern from ReadCreations will make it happen. This pattern includes instructions for the Helmet, Breast Plate, Shield and Arm Guards. Eight different decorations are included for your Shield and Breast Plate. But why just limit yourself to a Knight? Use vinyl instead of foam for the Arm Guard and Breast Plate and suddenly you can turn your doll into a hunter or any other fantasy figure. Decorations and instructions are also included for a vinyl Breast Plate and Arm Guards.
Complete the look with the ReadCreations' Knight's Garment Pattern (Pants, Chainmail Shirt, Tabard and Coif).
But wait, you also need to dress the ladies! Use the ReadCreations' Medievel Dress, Tudor Ensemble or Viking Dress patterns to complete the scene.
This PDF pattern is designed to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl®.
