Shiloh Girls + Doll Bundle

Made for my granddaughters in NY

Everything was fine except that the fabric requirements for the top length simple skirt are incorrect. For a size 7, it calls for 3/8 yard but the pattern requires two lengths placed on the fold - that’s 24 inches. Size 3 calls for 3/8 but actually needs 18”. I had to return to the fabric shop - fortunately they still had the bolt. By the way, I made the top for the 18” American Doll and also made one for the Wellie Wishers 14” doll by printing the pattern at 70%. It worked OK although the smaller dolls have a small waist proportionally.

I haven’t had time to use this pattern yet but I’ve made 3 pairs of Remi shorts and they fit nicely. I also made 2 of the Catherine dresses and my 2 youngest GRANDdaughters loved them. My 15 year old GRANDdaughter was where last week and chose 4 or 5 VFT patterns she would like me to make. Thank you for your patterns.

Needed to be tested more extensively before sold

I bought the pattern for the SAL May 2020. The pattern was released just shortly before it started and being a seasoned seamstress, I was surprised at how many things went wrong. The pattern didn’t line up in places, the back seemed unfinished and a pattern piece didn’t even come close to fitting and I still haven’t gotten an update in my email box. It ended up looking cute, but I’m not sure I’ll make it again.
