Easy Peasy All Season Jacket 18″ Doll Clothes
The Easy Peasy All Season Jacket, by Forever 18 Inches, is a versatile, user-friendly pattern for all seamstresses. It’s perfect for those who participate on Etsy and craft shows and need unfussy projects, and easy enough for newer seamstresses. This is a project that sews up quickly: no facings, no lining, optional sleeves, and the flexibility of using woven fabrics or knits! For those who want to make a simple Fifties-style intermediate version, sleeves and belt tabs can be added/substituted. The directions have been written comprehensively with many explanatory details for those who are newer to sewing. An experienced seamstress will probably be able to construct the jacket just by reading the instructions highlighted in bold text. Happy sewing!
This PDF sewing pattern is designed to fit 18″ dolls such as American Girl®.
