One of my favorite career experiences was as a doll designer. So much fun! You too can have that same fun by styling and sewing one of these soulful cuties (Simplicity 8402) to adorn a girls bed or to be a take-everywhere-friend.

The jumper, skirt and collar for these dolls are so easy to make. Perfect for a shared project with a young stitcher. For additional creativity and with some finessing, 18″ doll clothes can be adjusted to fit these girls. Have fun being a doll designer too!

Doll skin fabric is available at the print-on-demand site Spoonflower.com.

Sew fun! Sew playthings! Elaine
