Make it Monday – Buffalo Checks and Lace for 18 inch Dolls this Holiday Season

Is it just me, or are there buffalo checks just about everywhere you look? From holiday pajamas, to bows on green wreaths, the pop of black and red checks (of all sizes) is a fun trend to join in to!

Buffalo Checks for 18 inch dolls? Yes Please!

The Easy Backyard Bibs Sewing Pattern is perfect for your 18 inch doll’s holiday dress.

SHOP THE OH SEW KAT! PATTERN COLLECTION

I found this small scale red and black checked fabric at Walmart. (I always wash my Walmart fabric with a color catcher before I use it just in case!) The Backyard Bibs is a quick and easy jumper outfit- and I cut the waistband on the diagonal for fun. Find the pattern HERE. This pattern is available in 5 popular doll sizes in my SHOP.

The blouse under the bibs is the Playtime Peasant Top. I used THIS TUTORIAL to add the ruffle at the neck. Remember to not attach it to your side seam or your won’t be able to put the bibs over the shoulder. See more Playtime Peasant Tops HERE and HERE. Purchase the pattern on its own (includes a skirt!) or bundled with the Backyard Bibs.

Add lace to a peasant top for the perfect holiday doll outfit.

Tester Tuesday: The Sixth Grade Skirt Sewing Pattern

It’s Tester Tuesday!  The Sixth Grade Skirt has just been updated. It was the first pattern I ever published, so I have wanted to update the photos and images for awhile.

Here are some adorable skirts that my Oh Sew Kat! testers made as we tweaked the pattern for the perfect fit.  I had forgotten how easy and fun this skirt is!  If you purchased this pattern, contact me to get your updated copy.

Sophie Pagr made adorable skirts and her photos really capture the essence of summer fun!

Kathy McMilin added interest and contrast to her skirts. The lace front instructions are included in the pattern.

If you haven’t sewn a Sixth Grade Skirt in awhile, I encourage you to dust it off and give it a whirl. With a velcro close in back, it is easily adapted to fit nearly any brand of doll.

Pattern Update: The Sixth Grade Skirt by Oh Sew Kat!

The Sixth Grade Skirt has just been updated. It was the first pattern I ever published, so I have wanted to update the photos and images for awhile and finally got around to putting it at the top of the to do list.  I love this simple, little skirt! It has so much potential!

SHOP THE OH SEW KAT! PATTERN COLLECTION

The Sixth Grade Skirt is a quick and easy sewing pattern for dolls.

The updated pattern is now available.  If you purchased your copy at another site, you can contact them directly for the update. If you purchased it anywhere else, simply contact me, tell me when and where, and I will send you the updated copy.  There are not a whole lot of changes- I redrew the pattern pieces in new software, updated the photos, and added new images. The overlap in the back of the skirt was adjusted as well.

The Sixth Grade Skirt is a perfect match with the Popsicle Top pattern.  Directions are included to add lace or pleats to the center front panel.

Make a variety of skirts with one, easy to sew doll pattern.

Sugar n Spice & Everything Nice Meets Party Time Peasant Dress for St Patrick’s Day

This spring I stitched up a donation for a local church’s St Brigid’s Day celebration.  I chose the Party Time Peasant Dress and made one with short and one with long sleeves. This is my go- to dress for quick, easy and cute!

I wanted to make a single outfit, with a St Patrick’s Day theme, that could also be used for other seasons for extra doll play.   I loved how these came out!

SHOP THE OH SEW KAT! PATTERN COLLECTION

Once the under dress was done, I wanted to make a shamrock themed “overdress” to go with it.  I turned to the Sugar n Spice Dress, and decided to modify the pinafore to get the look of a vest.

I printed a new Sugar n Spice bodice, and on the back, I cut a low, scooped neckline.  I put it together following the pattern, and attached the skirt moving the skirt edges in about an inch on each side of the bodice, so the polka dot party dress could be seen underneath.  I added a few AD: kam snaps and it was done!  I think the overdress could also be worn reversed as well.  I don’t know which sleeves I liked better.  🙂

See more dresses in the INSPIRATION Gallery and purchase your copy of the pattern here.  Are your dolls ready for some St Patrick’s Day jigging?

Tester Tuesday: JGoose and Co Alice in Wonderland for Hearts for Hearts.

Can you stand this cuteness?  Jaci of JGooseandCo is an amazing seamstress and she really has an eye for photographing her creations.  She made this special dress for her Hearts for Hearts doll with the cute little darts in the sleeves.  She said she might “draw it in” a bit next time, but H4H dolls are a little smaller than WellieWishers, so that is something you would need to check as you sew if you are sewing for these dolls instead.  Thanks Jaci, for such a beautiful rendition of my pattern.  Check out her Etsy shop and say “hi”~

Purchase the Sugar n Spice and Everything Nice pattern for WellieWishers.  This bonus apron is included in the pattern and also the pattern bundle.
