Mermaid costume for 14" waldorf doll

[sewingmel]

Now for the top:

Step 1:
Measure your doll's chest and add 1.5". Cut 1 piece of fabric for top.

My doll's chest is 9" so I cut my fabric to be 10.5 by 5"


Step 2:
Sew long edges together (right sides together). Turn right side out.


Step 3:
Tuck in edges (turn in about 1/4") and sew edges shut.


Step 4:
Mark center line with fabric/washable marker.


Step 5:
Sew 2 basting/gathering lines (longest stitch length) down drawn line.


Step 6:
Gather, and machine stitch down gathering lines.


Step 7:
Attach snaps, buttons, or velcro. I used set metal snaps for the green top, and I used hand sewn snaps for the pink.



You are finished! Go play!
