I do have an Irish heritage, and I’ve always loved it! March is one of my favorite times of the year, especially the shamrocks, and the music! Each year, I try to sew something shamrock themed for the dolls. This post shows the dresses I’ve made with the popular SUGAR N SPICE sewing pattern. It’s available in my shop in 3 sizes.
The beauty of the Sugar n Spice pattern is versatility and value. With an underdress and overdress option, plus some extras like an apron, cape, corset, and tutu, the time you spend making solid underdresses is time well spent. Notice each of these next photos. They all have the same, light green dress as a base! I’m just changing up what is layered over it in each photo. See the Easter version HERE.
Willa is wearing her green dress with an overskirt using the EVERYTHING NICE accessories pattern.
This little overskirt look is super quick and easy! Wear it frontwards or backwards like in this post.
Here she is in the same green dress, but the overskirt is replaced with a green tulle, tutu. (Instructions are found in the Everything Nice section of the pattern bundle.)
And for the 18 inch Dolls:
Yep! Same green dress- I added a seasonal overdress or pinafore, which is also included in the Sugar n Spice pattern.
Just the right touch: a ribbon belt and a cute button. Now the green dress really shines!
And here is one more from the same Sugar n Spice pattern. For this outfit, I took the pinafore/overdress from Sugar n Spice, and reversed it. I left the edges of the skirt unconnected, and layered it over a Party Time Peasant Dress. Read the post about it HERE.
Find the Sugar n Spice and Everything Nice pattern HERE for 18 inch dolls. Wellie Wishers and Animators’ sizes are also available. Put the LUCK OF THE IRISH into your doll’s wardrobe this month!
Oh Sew Kat!
