If you love to sew doll clothes as much as I do, you probably have quite a stash of leftover bits and pieces of fabrics. Here's the perfect way to use them up (of course, you can also use new fabrics)!
The Patchwork Petals Wrap Skirt, by Flossie Potter, has THREE HEM VARIATIONS and can be put together in a variety of ways:
-
randomly mix up to 24 different scraps
- put together various prints of one color (such as all pinks)
- make the petals from seasonal colors (such as browns and oranges for fall)
- combine holiday-colored prints (such as reds, whites, and blues)
This pdf sewing pattern shows you how to create your own Patchwork Petals Wrap Skirt with step-by-step instructions, full-color assembly photographs, and full-size pattern pieces. There are also Printable Summary Instructions (to save on printer ink!).
Recommended Fabrics: light-weight fabrics such as cotton (not suitable for knits)
