Hello everyone and welcome to or welcome back to our blog, Holly here and today I'm going to show you how to sew a pinafore for 18 inch dolls!
First you need to cut the fabric, we used a non-stretchy fabric, we haven't tried with stretchy though!
We cute 2 pieces which were 20cm by 22 cm and 2 pieces which we things were around 2 cm by 6 cm? We can't remember exactly as we made it a few days ago so sorry if it isn't correct.
For both the smaller pieces we sewn it so that you sew along the open edge whilst it is inside out and then turn it in the right way to make no visible seams.
We then cut a square either side of each pinafore piece on the 20 cm side, as the arm holes.
We also did a small hem on the bottom to make it neat!
For the squares we cut out, at the corner we did a small snip. Then, we were able to easily hem it!
Then, we sewed a button on to each of the smaller pieces we made at the start of the post.
We put a hole in the top of the pinafore, sewed the button on and it was done!
And here is a finished picture, I have it to Valencia for her birthday and she loved it! Sorry if my explanation was not good, it was hard to explain but if you make it and have any questions we should be able to answer them! See you soon!
