Stripwork Jumper 4 Dolly and Me!
Description
Sizes 1-8
Dolly sizes: 15-18"
The stripwork jumper is a sweet boutique favorite. With a simple bib-style bodice and a skirt pieced from vertical strips, the design possibilities are endless. A long, flowing jumper looks beautifully old-fashioned and romantic, and is perfect for wearing over a frilly top or peasant dress. A shorter, top-length jumper is adorably perky and "twirly." For a dressy set, pair with matching ruffled pants. For a more casual look, combine with a cute T-shirt and embellished jeans. The jumper bodice makes a great canvas for applique or machine embroidery.
This eBook contains the patterns and instructions to make a sweet stripwork jumper in sizes 6 months - 8 years. Instructions are also provided for making a jumper with a solid skirt. Detailed sizing information is given so you will get a great fit and just the length you are after. As a bonus, matching dolly-sized patterns are provided in a supplemental file.
The patterns have placement guides for buttons and buttonholes. Depending on your sewing machine and comfort level with making buttonholes, you may prefer to use snaps or tacking. Instructions are given for all three fastening methods.
- 28 pages of instruction
- Full size pattern pieces
- Over 100 detailed professional graphics demonstrating each step

Carla C does it again! What an amazing pattern! The possibilities for this pattern are ENDLESS!! - I have made over 20 dresses using this pattrn, an every one is OOAK - How's that for value for money:o) A beginner should not fear this pattern (or any of Carla's) as the instructions are immensely thorough, well written and contain all the small details that could easily be overlooked - A truly awespme pattern!

I've made this a LOT for my daughters, but made dresses for their American Girl dolls in the past week. I love how there are options for ruffles and for the length.

The pattern was great! The directions were very clear and my daughter loves it. We get compliments every time she wears it. I can't wait to make another one especially now that I have her free Ruffling Unruffled ebook. It will make the process even faster. Thanks!

How to make a Stripwork Jumper for Dolly and Me was an absolutely wonderful ebook. I used it to make an outfit for cute little Grace and also for my own three year old Mia. I will use this pattern many times in the future. I love that it can be a dress, shirt, or jeans outfit. I will by from this author again!

I used this ebook to sew matching Mickey jumpers in red, black, and white for my two daughters. The pattern instructions are very easy to follow and they turned out great! They received many compliments on their beautiful, unique outfits!

I totally love this e-book!! I finished a jumper dress for my angel yesterday, and she loves it. She wore it yesterday after I made it and insisted on wearing it again today. The steps were so easy to follow. I've already started on a second dress and bought more fabric for two more. Thanks for such an awesome e-book!!

Thank you for the wonderful ebook on stripwork jumpers! The helpful links at the end were great for a beginner like me! I liked the ease of use when printing the pattern! My daughter's Halloween jumper top came out great and was alot easier than I imagined!

I bought this ebook as my Christmas gift and decided to try it out right away! I have made many blankets and quilts, but this was the first time I've ever attempted something like this. This ebook was FANTASTIC! The pictures and instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I can't wait to make my next one. My 2 year old loves her dress - she wore it on Christmas eve and we got many compliments on it. Thanks so much!

This e-book is wonderful, although when I bought this last year it was very hard for me to make the dress. It was the first time I had tried to make a dress like this. But now a year later I am making about 2 a month with ease. I would say this is not for a first timer, but you will slowly learn how to make these.

I love this pattern! I haven't been sewing very long and was able to make this dress in about 2 hours (and that was with a 1 & 2 yr old tugging at me the entire time). I'm amazed at how adorable this turned out, professional looking on my first try! I've made Halloween dresses for my girls, Christmas dresses and I'm working their Easter dresses and it's not even Mid-October yet! I loooooooooove this pattern, thanks!!!

I made this dress last week after being inspired by the color combination of another's dress photo here! It was very easy and I love that there are full-sized patterns included for each size! The bodice is perfect for embroidery. I also like that there are options for those who may not be comfortable making buttonholes. Options are good! I'll be making this again in the near future!
