I'm happy to share this new free printable sewing pattern today---Elastic waist 8-gore skirt for 18-inch doll.
Click here to download the link.
Seam allowances are included in the pattern, 0.75 inch at the hemline and waistline and 0.25 inch at the side seams. Seam lines are marked in the pattern with dashed lines.
This is a one-page pdf.
Print the pattern page on an A4 paper. Make sure you have set page sizing to "Actual size" before you print the pattern.
You can measure the 1 inch x 1 inch square in the pattern page to check whether the page has printed correctly.
This is how you will arrange the pattern pieces (8 gores) on the fabric.
You will need a 38 cm by 40 cm (15.75 inches by 15 inches) fabric to make this skirt.
I have shown here how to connect the 8 gore pieces to make the skirt.
Please follow the sewing tutorial at this link, but use the seam allowances given in the pattern pdf.
There is no separate waist band in this pattern. You have to fold the waistline by 0.25 inch and then again by 0.50 inch, and sew over the folded edge leaving a small gap to feed the elastic in. Insert a 3/8-inch-wide, 10-inch-long elastic through the casing, and overlap the ends of the elastic by 0.25 inch and sew them together. Sew the gap in the casing closed.
Then, fold the hemline by 0.25 inch and then again by 0.50 inch, and sew along the folded edge.
