If I am going to cut one, then I may as well cut two. Although Camille doesn’t have that classic raven hair, she makes a pretty cute Snow White in her Backyard Bibs as well. Because I already made a light blue Sugar n Spice dress, I didn’t even need to make a second blue shirt. Camille is wearing her bibs over the dress. You can see more of the dress in this post. The yellow fabric was a little thin, so Camille’s skirt takes on the blue hue of the dress underneath. It was about the same length so it doesn’t quite peek out.

The Backyard Bibs pattern is quick and easy to sew. It has two pants and two skirt variations for lots of value! It’s available in 5 popular doll sizes in my Etsy Shop and you can download and sew today!

With easy ties and an open back, the HalterAlls pattern makes a perfect parade watching outfit. Make one up in just an afternoon with one fat quarter of fabric. See more ideas in the Inspiration Gallery.
