The leggings pattern is a stitching guide, so you’ll sew directly along the traced line. No added seam allowance is needed for this 14″ doll pattern.


How to Make the Leggings


Step 1: Trace the pattern


Place the leggings pattern on the wrong side of the sock, aligning the pattern’s top edge with the top of the sock cuff. Trace around the pattern.

How to Make the Tank Top

That’s it—your matching tank top is done! 💕




Optional: Finish the Raw Edges


The neckline and armholes are left unfinished with raw edges for this project.

If you prefer a finished edge, you can sew a whipstitch around them. For the neckline, you can also fold the edge over face-mask elastic and secure it with a whipstitch. Keep the elastic gentle enough that the top can still slip over your doll’s head.

I’m leaving mine simple this time—I’m getting a little lazy, lol! 😆
