Bluebell Dress: Pattern Review

This is a sponsored post.  This post may contain affiliate links.



If I were to transform a doll dress into something I would wear it would be the Bluebell Dress by My Childhood Treasures.  I love this combination of a cute and girly dress with a fun and comfortable hoodie.  Seriously, I want one!  I will have to live vicariously through dolls for now I suppose.  (Although, I do have the Lane Raglan and it shouldn't be too hard to add a circle skirt to the bottom.  I might just have to make this a reality.)


The dress was easy to put together, especially with the clear instructions.  As you can probably tell, I currently have no nice white velcro.  I've been meaning to go to the craft store to pick some up, but life keeps getting in the way.  I could just order some on Amazon, but I have the urge to explore the magical craft store aisles.  That's why you see those ugly black bits of velcro peeking out.  I tacked some in quickly so that Catherine could use the dresses.  This pattern is awesome though and I know that I'll be making more.  I definitely recommend this pattern.

I just have to say, I love how little fabric it takes to sew doll clothes!  During this Dolled Up Event I finally have found a use for my scrap bin!  (I'm sure you have one too -- it's filled with pieces of fabric too big to toss, but so small that they never really work for another project.)  These dresses are made entirely of scraps from fabric I got at Girl Charlee.  (You can see some of the fabric on Catherine's Hearts Hoodie and my Julia Women's Cardigan.)
