This lovely baby girl is teaching me how to craft my own patterns ! There pretty much aren't any made for the Baby Disney Princess dolls, so I figured I'd try, and if it didn't work, I'd adapt something. Turns out, I can do it !

What's funny is, I more or less freehanded the dress, and altered some of it on the fly. She also has panties that I slightly changed from a ready-made pattern for another doll. The dress took about 40 minutes. Darn panties took over an hour ! At least I got to use recycled elastic...

The pants were drafted and sewn by me and have pockets, a back yoke, zipper and button. The top is a shirred blouse made from 2 fat quarters and two fat quarters cut in half
