Greetings Doll Friends,
So I have upcycled all manner of baby clothes into doll clothes but mostly tops and dresses... However I've had a pretty big influx of boy dolls into the house lately and I needed some more pant options. I'd bought a bunch of newborn sized pants at a $1/bag sale at a Garage Sale this summer. Some newborn sized pants will fit just as they are although they are usually a bit baggy on all but the most 'thick' doll. I kept thinking that if I could just 'take them in' they'd be perfect... So, since I unpacked my sewing machine, I figured I'd give it a whirl...
Here is the finished product.
For measurments, I just used a pair of hand made American Girl Doll pants I already owned.
See, it's size 0-3mnths in baby clothes.
You can see how much it is too big in the waist.
So I took my handy dandy ruler and made a line down the edge from the place I'd pinned based on the red pants.
Sewed down the drawn line.
I always, being me, zigzag next to seam so it doesn't rip out.
All sewn! Now it's time to cut off extra!
Tada! Now they are the right width...
However, I wasn't considering how high waisted they'd be! Oh well, a shirt covers it up and at least they stay up now, right?
Till next time friends!
