Free pattern: T-shirt for an 18″ doll

by

CarlaC from Scientific Seamstress shares a downloadable pattern and tutorial on her blog showing how to make a t-shirt for an 18′ doll.  The pattern has pieces for both long and short sleeves.  Her tutorial gives tips for controlling the stretch of knit fabric and reordering your steps to more efficiently sew on a small scale.  My daughter is super into American Girl dolls, so I can see this quickly becoming one of my go-to patterns for dolly clothes.  Get the pattern and tutorial.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
