NOT! Your Mama's Overalls 18" Doll Clothes

Not your mamas overalls

A fun pattern so much I made 3 pairs and plan many more. Nice easy instructions

Great fit, well designed

Lots of options with this pattern; I used the elastic-back option with front and back bibs, omitting back pockets. They fit the 18” soft- bodied doll perfectly. For the elastic back, the pattern calls for a 9” piece of elastic - I found 5” more than sufficient. The tip of using a hemostat to turn the straps is genius. I do use them in my work, so I have old ones around, but they are also available at my local “surplus” store. Worth picking some up. For the front pants pockets I made a single layer patch pocket for each and folded the edges under, rather than construct a whole pocket, turn it and attach. Considering the detail in the finished product I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly these came together,

Great for Canadian Maplea doll

What a lovely pattern. It went together smoothly - the instructions are very clear. The results are sensational with a minimum of effort.
