The dress and top are soft and comfortable to wear and look cute with or without the leggings.  The skirt of the top\/dress does not need to be made from knit fabric, so this gives you a lot more potential to mix and match fabrics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen worn together the T-shirt and leggings can also be used as cozy pajamas that work for boy or girl dolls. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s plenty of scope for adding trims, vinyl transfers or machine embroidery to the T-shirt and T-shirt dresses and tops to add versatility to your garments. The pattern includes a bonus tutorial containing information on the different types of knit fabrics, and tips for successfully sewing knit fabrics when using a basic sewing machine, so don’t let knit fabrics hold you back if you don’t have a serger or overlock stitch on your sewing machine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven if you think you don’t need another T-shirt and leggings pattern for dolls, you definitely need this one! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis PDF sewing pattern by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.larougetdelisle.com\/collections\/genniewren\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGenniewren Designs\u003c\/a\u003e is designed to fit 18 inch dolls such as American Girl®.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Fabrics:\u003c\/strong\u003e  The majority of this pattern is designed for knit (jersey) fabrics with a minimum 20% stretch crosswise.  Woven fabrics can *only* be used for the skirt of the dress or top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplies Needed:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   •  The T-shirt can be cut from a piece of knit fabric approximately 20\" long by 14\" wide\/51cm x 36cm. If you prefer to upcycle, you can cut out a few T-shirts from an old adult sized T-shirt. The fabric you use needs to have at least 20% stretch crosswise, but does not need any stretch lengthwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  • For the dress or top you will need approximately the same amount as for the T-shirt, plus additional fabric for the skirt – the skirt pattern piece supplied measures 22”\/56cm wide, but you can use additional fabric if you prefer a fuller skirt. If desired, you can use woven fabrics for the skirt piece as the skirt part does not need stretch fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   • For the dress\/top you will also need a strip of iron on interfacing, 12\" by 3\/4\"\/30cm x 2cm to stabilize the waistline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   • For the leggings you will need a piece of knit fabric 12\" long by 18\" wide\/30cm x 46cm, with the stretch along the longer side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   • You can also make full length leggings from a pair of adult knee socks using the alternative leggings pattern piece. Try to find socks that have a narrow elastic edge along the top of the sock rather than turn-over cuffs, as this will mean the leggings can be worn with shorter tops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   • Capri leggings can be made from calf length socks and cycle shorts can be made from adult sized ankle socks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   • Hook and loop tape for the back fastening. For the T-shirt you need 4½\"\/11.5cm in both hook and loop sides, and for the T-shirt dress\/top you will need 3½\"\/8cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   • Stretch lace, fold over elastic or contrast knit binding to finish the neck, sleeve and hem edges of the T-shirt or T-shirt dress\/top, or you can cut your own binding from your fabric using the pattern piece provided. You will need approximately 9”\/23cm for the neckline, and 5”\/13cm for each sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   • Elastic for the leggings waist: 9½”\/24cm of ¼\"\/6mm (or 4 cord) wide flat elastic. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level: \u003c\/strong\u003e Confident Beginner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Get: \u003c\/strong\u003eOne 51 page sewing pattern that you digitally download as a PDF file so you can start your project immediately!
