More About Each Pattern:
Roebuck Bay Top Designed To Fit 18 Inch Dolls Such As American Girl®: Whether you're traveling to the Outback or strolling the city sidewalks, this dainty cami is the perfect choice to make your doll feel special. This design, debuted as part of the 2012 Outback Libby: Roebuck Bay Outfit, features a button front and darling lace back to give a little ‘surprise and delight’! The design is simple yet elegant and sews up very quickly! Pair it with shorts and a tank or a breezy skirt and moto jacket to make a true fashion statement. Our cover example was made in a delicate cotton lawn fabric. For our Roebuck Bay collection top, we used a beautiful silk chiffon. Both examples used a lace mesh for the back. This PDF pattern is designed to fit 18 inch soft bodied dolls such as American Girl®. It has a loose fit and should fit a variety of the dolls in this category, including Pre-Mattel AG dolls. The top pictured is worn over the LJ Low Scoop Neck Tank Top, this pattern is available separately in the T-Shirt Variations or the Killara patterns.
The Lace Overlay Tank Designed To Fit 18 Inch Dolls Such As American Girl®: Love the look of lace but don't want to be all dressed up? We've got the perfect top for you! Wear it on its own with a cute pair of cut offs or dress it up a bit with dark skinny jeans and a leather jacket - the choice is yours! The top features a unique design element - all the interior seams are enclosed with the underlayer being sewn right side facing up so that it is visible through the lace overlay. The bottom edges of each layer are hemmed separately for a loose layered look. The hemming technique illustrated is easy to do and provides a nice professional finish! The top closes in the back with a simple hook and eye closure providing an easy on off opening and eliminating the opprotunity of snagging caused by hook and loop tape. This PDF sewing pattern is designed to fit 18” dolls such as American Girl®.
