A new skirt





Last night, I whipped up a pleated skirt to fit Tonner's 16" fashion dolls. I'd seen another doll seamstress offer these for sale, but she stopped offering them before I ever got around to purchasing one. Luckily, a friend bought several, and shared a description of their construction. I found some woven plaid fabric in my stash, and came up with the following "school girl" style pleated skirt. In this prototype, I left the hem as a fringe; next time I'll sew a proper hem. My model wears a sweater I made from a sock, and the boots are by Kingstate. The pictures were taken during a brief sunbreak today, so they are slightly less than perfect.
