Patty Dress

Featured in the 2023 Doll Club collection, Patty is a sweet, pleated doll dress designed by Joy Welsh of Applique for Kids. It has a beautiful, scalloped front bodice overlay that frames a cute pumpkin embroidery. The base pattern is Connie Palmer’s Christmas Doll Dress from the Holiday 2018 issue of Classic Sewing magazine, but with a few modifications like omitting the collar, changing the sleeve style, and creating the embroidered overlay in the hoop. While this version is stitched up for fall, changing the fabric, thread colors and substituting the pumpkin for a seasonal embroidery design of your choice can make it work for any season. A matching child’s dress is featured in the Autumn 2023 issue of Classic Sewing magazine.
