DIY: Easy Skinny Jeans for Dolls!

Hi everyone! So today, I'm going to show you the skinny jeans I made for my doll.
PS Sorry about the pictures, I took them late. D:

I started off with a pair of flare jeans from Michaels, as part of the Springfield Doll collection. It cost $7, including a white tee.
First, I flipped the jeans over to the back. Then, I folded a part of the leg and sewed a button on top to secure the fold.

Here's a better picture. This is a comparison of how skinny the right leg is to how flare the other leg is.

I also sewed on a button for the waist.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! I'm really proud of how my first leg turned out. I'll get back to you guys as soon as I finish the other leg.

I'm also thinking about posting a tutorial on how to sew a button, so watch out for that, too.

Good night.

The 'Katniss' Look for Dolls

Is your doll a fan of the Hunger Games? Or maybe's she's looking for that 'Katniss' look?

Here's how your American Girl doll can get the 'Katniss' look.

First off, you want the jeans and the top. There is an amazingly cheap set of a plain white tee and flare jeans for dolls around $7 at Michaels. You can pin the bottoms of the jeans to make them have a skinny cut, like in the picture below.

Liberty Jane Patterns offers a skinny jean pattern for a low cost, and a free basic shirt pattern, so you can also sew one.

For a thick, hunting-style jacket, you can use any snow jacket purchased from American Girl (this one would work as a charm) or sew a jacket using this Liberty Jane pattern for cheap. I am using the jacket from AG's Frosty Fun set.

For shoes, try any boots, preferably combat boots, such as Addy's Lace-Up Boots. Snow boots like these also work.

The 'Katniss' look is great for dolls who want a fresh, new look that works for everybody. I hope you enjoyed! ^.^
