18-inch Doll Elastic-Waist Skirt

I sewed up several lazy days skirts for an 18-inch doll. Would you like to sew some, too? It is a really quick and easy project.

Dots & Dashes Multi Poplin fabric from the Lisette collection matches her Pattern 8 dress

What you need:

22 inches by 7 inches of fabric
10.5 inches of 3/8 inch wide elastic
22 inches of 3/8 inch wide ribbon

Fold and press the skirt's top edge twice to the wrong side, first .5 inch and then .5 inch otherwise follow the remaining instructions for the Oliver+S lazy days skirt (free tutorial). I sewed a French seam for the side seam. Also I placed the ribbon at 3/8 inch above the skirt's raw edge.

30 inches by 9 inches of fabric
10.5 inches of 3/8 inch wide elastic
30 inches 3/8 inch wide ribbon

You are so productive! The skirts look just beautiful - love the retro fabrics. I can imagine that your daughter loves those which are in the same fabric as her own clothes especially? :-)

Very cute. We don't really have 18" dolls here in the UK. Next time we are in America (over Christmas....shhh....don't tell my girls, it's a surprise!) I might just buy them one. Then I can make some of these adorable skirts!

We certainly have 18" dolls in the UK. Our generation dolls are the British version of American Girl dolls and available
In all good toy shops.

Assignment and essay writing are very preliminary and initial stages of the research and innovation of the studies. The concepts and material re very important and pivotal. It is very fascinating and interesting. The skills are refined and utilized accordingly.
