Patricia doll is on Holiday
Updated: Feb 24

She is Patricia. Her favorite pastime is shopping. Especially dresses and accessories. Now she is showing off her new swimming suit on the Beach.
From time to time I will bring you a new set of clothes for her, but of course you can create your own.
In this blog post you can find the pattern of the swimming suite, the duck floating ring.
The Body pattern is in the Ad-Free PDF pattern that you can get right after you subscribe HERE.
If you have any other idea please write it below in the comment section. And maybe your idea will be the next set :)
I made a second doll, different than the one above, but only in its colors. I created a dark brown hair and the body is made with just beige colour (in the PDF pattern there is a change to blue). Feel free to add your own colours and ideas to the pattern.
