When my little
girl was about 2-1/2, we decided she needed a sibling. Her brother was born that November. Santa Claus brought her a Bitty Baby that
year in hopes it would help make the transition to Big Sister a little easier. Well, for whatever reason, Bitty (my daughter
came up with a REALLY clever name) never really accumulated a large
wardrobe—the only thing her “Grandma” ever made her was a lavender leotard and
dance skirt that matched her mommy’s.
Fast forward a couple of years and an 18” doll joined our family. The new doll took all of my daughter’s time and attention
and she was constantly begging for new doll clothes for her. Bitty was all but forgotten, except when baby
nieces or cousins came to play. Then a
few weeks ago, my daughter asked me why I had never made Bitty any
clothes. Being pretty sure that “Gee,
you had a baby brother and I didn’t have any free time” sounded kind of lame, I
decided to remedy that situation, and thus Dolly’s Darling Dungarees were born. I hope your little girl loves them as much as
mine does. (the link to download this free pattern at the end of the post)
