Tutorial: Doll’s layered trims skirt

Rachel from Nest Full of Eggs shows how you can use fancy trims to make a doll’s layered skirt. The layers of fringed, pleated, or scalloped trim make the skirts extra pretty, but it’s actually a very simple skirt to make. It’s fun to see how different the trims look when layered up. She shows it for an American Girl or 18″ doll, but this will work for any size doll. Go to Nest Full of Eggs for the tute.
