This was probably my biggest doll clothes challenge thus far, and certainly a hodgepodge of patterns. The skirt is from  Liberty Jane Patterns . This was my first time sewing pleats, it was time consuming, but the payoff feels great! The beret pattern is free and you can find it here . It's Molly's hat (I left off the loop on top) The long sleeved  blouse I patterned myself. The free  vest pattern and tutorial can be found here . The glasses can be found at  Hobby Lobby The chalkboard is clearly a cut of the vest fabric. I glued it on cardboard.
