Do you recognize this fabric? It's one of the vintage sheets I used in my yellow quilt. Since the skirt is made to be reversible, I backed it with a pale yellow:
See? You get two looks for the effort (and price) of one!
Here's a gingham one I made - black and white gingham on one side ...
... and red and white gingham on the other. If you're interested in making a few, I found the pattern at You Can Make This (look for the wrap skirt pattern), but I lengthened it since I didn't want it to be a mini-skirt.
And here is the secret that makes my life so much easier - FabricFusion Velcro. I've used sew-on Velcro before, but it always (yes, always!) messes up the tension in my sewing machine. I wasn't looking forward to that again, so I was thrilled to find that the Velcro company finally figured out a way to make iron-on Velcro for fabric. The bonus: there are no stitching lines on the outside of the garment.
I've listed a few 18" doll clothes in my Etsy shop, in case you're interested. I browsed around and looked for the "going price" on them, but I thought that was a bit high, so I've adjusted my prices accordingly. As always, if you have something specific in mind, I don't mind taking special orders.

This style is my favorite --- love how simple it is to make as well.
