Here's another PDF printable sewing pattern for 18-inch dolls---Full circle skirt with elasticated waist band.
Seam allowances:
Seam allowances are included in the pattern, which is, for the skirt, 0.25 inch at the top edge and 0.50 inch at the hemline.
How to print?
This is a two-page PDF file.
Print the 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.
Pattern Link:
Note: I recently found out that I had uploaded a wrong PDF file. I have removed the file and uploaded the new file. Please click the link below to download the new correct file. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Waistband:
For the waistband, cut a 20-inch-long, 2-inch-wide piece of fabric.
How to Cut the Pattern Pieces from the Fabric?
This is how you will cut the skirt and waist band from the fabric.
Suggested fabrics and fabric measurements:
An 18 x 18-inch (45 x 45-cm) fabric is needed to make this circle skirt. This is how the circle skirt will look like after it's cut out from the fabric---like a donut. :-)
You can use fabrics such as quilting cotton, gingham, linen, seersucker, crepe, silk, etc. to make this skirt.
How to Sew?
I have given below a short tutorial on how to sew the skirt.
A step-by-step sewing tutorial with pictures is provided here.
Step 1: Hem the skirt. Fold the hemline down the wrong side by 0.25 inch and then again by 0.25 inch and sew along the folded edge.
Now your doll has got a beautiful twirly circle skirt to add to her wardrobe.
