I’ve been doing some simple sewing for Easter for my girls’ dolls. Today I’m showing you my favorite free doll clothes pattern. This reversible wrap skirt is so quick and easy it is my go to pattern for making something cute for my girls’ dolls.
I showed you our reversible Easter tote bags on Monday. In case you haven’t figured it out, I really like making reversible items (like the reversible table runner I made) because it is like getting two items for the time it would take me to make one. Love that! Today, I wanted to show you our reversible Easter/spring skirts.
You can get the free pattern here: Twirls for Girls Dolly Wrap Skirt. The pattern is really easy to follow and understand. I think it takes about 15-30 minutes to make one (I’m never making one and get interrupted so many times, I not exactly sure of the time).I recommend the same two tips I gave you in my first post about these skirts (Sewing American Girl Reversible Wrap Skirts). Those two tips, in my opinion, help with getting things to lay flat and such when you turn the skirts. Since Pumpkin usually picks two fabrics that are quite different, I want the opposing pattern not to show. My tips help with that issue.
For Easter, my girls selected some fun fabrics. One Chocolate and one watercolor looking.
For the other side, we decided to go with fabrics that could be used for any season. That way the skirts are useable all year round.
If you are careful with pressing before turning the fabric right side out, you can get the seams so that it barely shows the reverse fabric.
Fun Easter skirt for the dolls! Love these fabrics!
Samantha and Felicity were out for a spring walk in their Easter reversible wrap skirts. They were willing to pose for a few minutes for me. Thanks, girls!

such cute fabrics and patterns. I’m not the best seamstress, but I think I can handle the skirts and I have 2 granddaughters with American Girls. thanks.
Thank you! For some reason, I think sewing doll clothes is easier than most anything I have sewn in the past. Most people seem to think that sewing smaller doll clothes would be harder. I guess it just depends on what you like. Have fun with it if you decide to make them. These are really easy.
Take care,

Adorable! My daughter just got an AG doll for Christmas and has been begging to make clothes for her. I think we’ll give it a shot, thanks for the tips!
Thank you! I hope you find this as easy to make as I do and that both you and your daughter LOVE it!

I have been sending links to my sisters about all your great american girl doll posts! Such great ideas.
Awww, thank you so much for sharing my posts with your sister. That is sweet and much appreciated.
Take Care,

Can not download the free skirt pattern. Have done as instructed and it will not let me print it. Would like the pattern, but it is not working.
Well that sounds frustrating! Have you contacted the You Can Make this site to see if they can provide you some assistance in getting it printed? I would start there. Since the pattern isn’t mine, I’m not sure I can help much. I hope you are able to get it figure out. Fingers crossed for you.
I would like to have several patterns but I have tried ,and tried. and can not get them.
So at this time I I will ask to be removed from the site.
Thank you

I downloaded the darling reversible skirt for the 18″ doll. However, it doesn’t print the pattern to size. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong. Can you help me?
I’m not certain what is going on, but I would check your print settings. I think I remember that pattern is a pdf file. You likely have it sized “to fit” in the selection box versus “actual size.” Find those setting in your pdf printer print box and change them and I bet it will print out correctly.
I think you’re right, but my computer won’t let me change that setting. However, not a big problem because I just made the pattern myself! I guess I am improving. Thanks for replying!
I’m glad you were able to figure it out!
I used my original pattern download so much I had to go back for a second go-around. My great granddaughters love having two skirts in one!
♥ That is great! They are fun to make and fun for the kids to have for their dolls as well.
