The Sweetheart Skirt makes a great addition to any 18” doll wardrobe!
Designed for confident beginners, this little pull-on skirt features:
• an elasticized waist
• a front overlay gathered into a center front loop
• lined heart-shaped pockets at the sides
• a cute little bow at the center front, or both pockets and bow
The skirt can also be made with a contrasting fabric bow, pockets, and overlay for a different look and is a great way to use up your workroom scraps!
This easy skirt has no zippers or buttons and is quick to stitch up.
Make one or several for your 18” dolls of all brands as the waist is adjustable.
The versions on the cover are pictured on dolls with waist measurements of 10” (left) and 10 ½” (right).
