Summer Picnic Crop Tops 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

2 reviews   |  

Warm summer days conjure up visions of green grass, tall glasses of cool lemonade, and checkered tablecloths spread with special picnic feasts. The next time your doll heads for the great outdoors with a loaded picnic basket she'll be dressed for the occasion with the Forever 18 Inches Summer Picnic Crop Tops! The Summer Picnic patterns consist of two different cropped tops. The cropped tops have multiple cutting lines to accommodate the sizing variations that come with soft-bodied dolls, and feature options for a faux-buttoned front or a back closure, princess seams, a bottom band, and shoulder straps framed with ruffles.

This PDF sewing pattern is designed to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl®.  Complete the look with the Forever 18 Inches Summer Picnic Paper Bag Shorts and Capris which are also available at Pixie Faire, or buy the bundle with both patterns to save! All you'll need are the ants!
