Sophie’s Shoe Storage System 18″ Doll Accessory Pattern
Have a shoe storage problem? Sophie’s Shoe Storage System, by Little Miss Muffett, is the solution. Make the double-sided unit for maximum storage or for 18” girls who like sharing, or choose the single-sided unit for your special doll. Cute pockets for shoes and boots have vinyl windows to see your girl’s shoes at a glance. They are attached with hook and loop tape and can be shifted up to make space for more shoe pockets – what bliss! The pockets can also be used to store handbags and other accessories which tend to get misplaced. Have fun with contrasts – go ‘girly’ with ribbons and lace, or ‘fun’ with bright colours; embroider designs on the hanger cover – the choice is yours with medium-weight woven fabric. This easy PDF pattern is designed to fit shoes which fit 18” soft-bodied dolls such as American Girl®.
