Today I am sharing a project that I did for Bella Blvd as one of their fabric project designers. Bella Blvd fabric is available through Riley Blake Designs. There is a big surprise at the end of this post, so be sure to read all the way down.
One of my favorite things to sew are girls dresses. I love all the ruffles and twirly skirts. A lot of time I’m asked to sew matching doll clothes and they are just as fun and cute to sew. This double skirt peasant dress fits 18” inch dolls and was made with beautiful Bella Blvd fabric from the Summer Breeze line for Riley Blake Designs.
This cute little doll dress has a big bow sash just like the big girl version. The dress pattern is the Elena Dress by Create Kids Couture.
If you are considering learning to sew clothing, sewing doll clothes is actually a great way to get started. It’s a rather small project and most of the time you basically sew it exactly the same way you would the larger version. That way you won’t have a lot of material and time invested the first time you try the pattern.
Well, here comes the surprise. I would like to give this doll dress away to one of my lucky blog readers. I've set up a Rafflecopter Giveaway and there are a couple different things you can do to win. Please note that the doll, shoes, or tights shown int the picture is not part of the giveaway.

I came from Bella Blvd. I just wanted to tell you how ADORABLE I thought your AG Doll dress was! My daughter is waiting and wanting an American Girl doll. I was wondering where you get your patterns from? Store bought? or do you wing it? I don't consider myself an expert sewer by any stretch of the imagination but I can't wait to make clothes for our AG Doll and my little girl. :D
TFS! it's just lovely! :D
