A gorgeous fitted skirt with ruffled sides, belt loops and a chain belt just for fun. Your 18-inch girl will look adorable in this pretty, summery, any-time skirt, by Little Miss Muffett. Made from Medium-weight and Cotton fabrics, the skirt has cute ruffled side panels; top-stitched side seams to highlight the skirt’s shape, belt loops front and back and closes with Hook and Loop Tape in back. A chain belt is stitched close to the back opening and threaded through the loops to the front. This easy PDF pattern is designed to fit 18” soft-bodied dolls such as American Girl®. Supplies Needed: Fabric Used – Medium-weight Denim, Broadcloth, Twill and Faux Suede were used for the bodies of the Skirts and Quilters’ Cotton for the side ruffles and belt loops. A length of gold chain was threaded through the belt loops for added sparkle and fun. Any medium-weight woven fabric would be suitable for the skirt body. Use lace, cotton, taffeta, etc. for the side ruffles – anything goes, the choice is yours. This skirt is also a great way to use up scraps.
