You Can
Make this Adorable Little Sailor Outfit! This perfect little outfit will
look adorable on your little sailor girl. No pattern required!

The sailor dress is a classic
look for little girls--in 19th century Japan, when the country

the doll dress, and the doll flip-flops. Shown in the picture is one
of our youngest student sewers, Masy. Have fun! |
