A Stitch In My Side Pocket Dress 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

4 reviews   |  

Get your stitch on with this fun kid-approved design by Seams to Streams that is enjoyable for both sewist and recipient. Pockets that pop make this dress fun for little ones and the piping and side panels provide plenty of color coordinating fun for the seamstress.
This pattern provides a tip for hemming over bulky seams and is a great simple introduction to using piping. If piping has intimidated you in the past, cut your teeth on this easy application of the skill.

Designed for woven fabrics, the A Stitch In My Side Pocket Dress features a bodice lining and back hook and loop closure.

Try your hand at this unique dress, but take it slow or you may get a stitch in your side...

This pattern is designed to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl®.
