Options for hemmed pant legs and a plain back without the Trap Door are also included in the PDF pattern for those who want a simpler project. Also, good news for those with older dolls: the pajamas have been cut generously, and will fit most larger dolls. ( They easily accommodate an 11\" waist and 12-1\/2\" hips, but do check your doll's measurements to be sure.) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe directions have been written comprehensively with many explanatory details for those who are newer to sewing. An experienced seamstress will probably be able to construct the jammies just by reading the instructions highlighted in bold text.
