Custom Zebra outfit


One of my customers asked me to make a matching doll outfit for her daughter for Valentines day.  She brought me the outfit and I took several pictures and studied it. Below are some photos's her the childs outfit.


I found the material at Hobby Lobby - zebra polyester and I already had black polyester. After looking at it and looking through my pattern selection I chose to use a standard pants pattern.

I took the zebra material - polyester and made ruffles and attached to bottom of leg pants.

For the top I used and modified McCalls pattern 5775 (lower middle photo on package) to come up with the top.

 



I made yo yo's and bow tie ribbons and hand sewed them. I used hook and loop tape to close the back of the top.  I was afraid it would snag so I tested it before attaching it and the kind I used doesn't snag the polyester.  I think it looks really close to the childs outfit.

Let me know what you think - I love to read comments and suggestions.

  2. Thanks Peachy. I am making another one for her too. She has a younger daughter and wants another one. The problem is I cannot find that exact fabric anymore. Hobby Lobby said it was a one time spring deal. hmmmm not even spring yet. Anyway found something very similair and the customer said she was ok with it said it really didn't have to match. I found some more zebra print polyester at Hobby Lobby but the print was large and for dolls you need to use small print. So I looked everywhere at stores and online and finally found the similiar material on Ebay. Just about done with #2. I guess lesson learned is buy extra on fabric if not sure if they will get more or ask to see if this is a restock item...LOL

  3. You've done a great job making the doll's outfit match the original. I'm sure it will be well loved by its new owner.
