teddy bear striped dresses

Anchor dress

Yellow dress

Two more dresses for your bear. Both will fit a 15" build a bear.
The dress is knit from the hem up with sleeves knit in with the bodice.  The anchor is embroidered on after the dress is completed. I used duplicate stitch but cross stitch would work

Curvy Barbie crochet shorts and top

I've amended my barbie shorts pattern on this site to fit the lovely Curvy Barbie.  Plus added a new top with a trendy frill across the shoulders.

I used Patons Soft cotton 4ply from my stash but any 4ply would do.  Both the shorts and top can easily be lengthened by adding a few more rows.
