The pattern from the white witch printable can be used to make a fabric costume for a dolls house doll. Cut the pieces according to the pattern from your choice of fabric. Use soft fabrics if possible for the best drape.
Make the Hat
- Apply interfacing to one side of the hat cone, and one of the hat brims.
- Glue the pieces together the same way the paper hat is made.
- Run a narrow ribbon or piece of bias tape around the edge of the hat brim to finish it off.
Make a Fabric Witch's Dress
- Glue the dress together following the same steps as using the printable paper dress.
- Use the dotted line extensions on the white witch printable dress to make a sturdy cone from cardboard or heavy paper. Fit the dress over the cardboard cone, adding quilt batting to form the shoulders on the cone.
- Glue the dress to the cone at the neck and waist, gathering the fabric if you wish.
- A simple fabric apron will hold tie the dress to the cone and give it some shape.
- Glue the dolls head in place in the back of the top of the cone.
- Glue or stitch the arms into the sleeves.
- Slip stitch the sleeves to the dress to create the arm folds.
- Stuff the upper sleeves lightly with quilt batting to create arms if you wish.
- Glue the dress hem to the base of the cone to cover it.
To Dress a Finished Doll
- Check the arm length against the doll and finish the sleeve hems to fit.
- Glue the sleeve seams and fit the sleeves in place over the doll's arms.
- Check the dress length and neck fit. Hint you can always add a shawl or scarf to cover the neck.
- Hem the dress to the correct length.
- Position the sleeve tabs in place as outlined in the paper instructions.
- Fit the dress over the sleeve tabs, gluing or sewing the arm edges in place. Turn the armhole edges under and glue or sew in place before you fit the dress if you think they might fray.
- Finish the dress by gluing or sewing the back seam edges together.
