Doll Clothes Tutorial - "Coat"

Step 1: Cut out your paper patterns

Step 2: Pin and cut your fabric out using the patterns, make sure to align the folds of your fabric with the appropriate arrows of the patterns. The sleeves and "back" should be on folds, make sure to cut 2 sleeves as pictured below. The hood and "front" are not on a fold. The cut pieces are pictured in the second image - double check that you have the correct number of pieces.


                  Top: Hood and Front                                            # of fabric pieces you should have
         Bottom:  Sleeve 1 & 2 and  "Back"                                 


Step 3: Pin and sew the hems for each individual piece


     2 sleeves     "back"        2 "fronts"                          2 identical "front" pieces

Step 4: Lay out your work so you can see how to align and pin the pieces properly
