While going through some projects that got started, but never finished, I came across the London Mod Coat pattern by #Forever18Inches on #PixieFaire.
The main coat was cut out of a houndstooth fabric and the lining a matching plain fabric. This coat features a pleated skirt from an angled bodice, cuffed sleeves and a hood.
The coat displays a matching button, but fastens with snaps.

Alicia's Petals and Pleats
While scoping out the new patterns on #PixieFaire, I saw the Petals n Pleats pattern from Fashioned by Rebecca. This 1930s style dress has a pleated front and back with contrasting cuffs and collar.
For making the dress, I picked a green fabric with white flowers and a white eyelet. The pattern calls for a half yard of fabric for the main dress, a 10" by 15" piece of scrap fabric, a 7" invisible zipper, and 12" of contrasting ribbon. I chose to leave the ribbon off.
One option in the creation of the dress is using a contrasting thread at the yoke and the top of the pleats. I did not use the contrasting thread. However, the next time I make this pattern, I plan to as it adds a little more interest to the look.
This pattern fits most 18" dolls. For the pictures, Alicia (#JourneyGirl Kayla) is modeling the dress. On her it is a little looser than it would be on a #AmericanGirlDoll.
If you're scared off by the invisible zipper, the pattern also works with velcro, buttons or snaps down the back.
Does this look sound interesting to you for your 18" doll? Get the pattern on #PixieFaire.
