It’s A Cinch! Belts for 18 inch dolls

Description

This digital doll clothes pattern will let you sew three different style belts that are designed to fit a variety of 18 inch dolls such as American Girl® dolls, Our Generation® dolls, Maplelea® dolls and Journey Girls® dolls.  Separate pieces are included for different waist measurements as well as instructions on how to reduce or enlarge the belts as needed.

Wide width belts are a wardrobe staple that appear on the runways almost every season.  They add a nice finishing touch to loose fitting shirts, cardigans and dresses.  Make them in neutrals or play with colour.  Add embellishments – the choice is yours!
