The t-shirt is from a pattern from Puchi Collective. I just happened to have a brand-new t-shirt I got for free when I bought several cartons of Coke products; the t-shirt was too small for me, which meant it was perfect to cut up for doll clothes! I did several practice shirts, sewn on the machine, but they tended to end up with unpredictable wonky areas, so I sewed this shirt by hand. It's so small it really didn't take long at all. Because Blythe dolls have such gigantic heads, their shirts all open in the back, and close with snaps or velcro. (I used snaps.)
The skirt pattern comes from a website called miseducated. The skirt itself is very simple, so I made it special with applique and embroidery. It is made from wool felt.
I think Bonnie needs an outfit just like this. Now that I know the tricks to making it, maybe I'll make her a few!

The skirt is adorable!!
Wow Leslie, that is an awesome outfit! You're such a great sewer!
Thanks everyone! It is fun to sew for my doll!
That is adorable Leslie. I really like the fact that you were able to use your mad felt skills on the skirt.
What a great outfit! I love all the details and color--it feels very European to me. So pretty!
I want a grown-up sized version of this outfit!! I especially love the skirt. Your attention to detail makes all of your work so extra special.
Blythe dolls fascinate me. I don't have one but I really like them.
Thanks, Charlene, Susan and Mareth!
Mareth, I like the idea of making an adult-size outfit like this! If I ever do, I'll let you know!
