I'm finally getting around to decorating for Christmas, and my dolls are getting ready too. My Heidi Ott doll Ellie came in a beautiful green-checked dress with puffed sleeves and lace trim. I simply swapped out her blue pinafore with a red plaid skirt. I tied a small hair scarf around her waist and a red ribbon at the neck for a more festive look. she's wearing her original shoes and socks because none of my other doll shoes will fit her long feet. This no-sew skirt was super easy and quick to make from an upcycled flannel pajama top. I cut off the bottom of the shirt just under the sleeves. Then I turned the resulting tube upside down and used the existing hem as a casing to run some elastic through. I embellished the bottom with some lace attached with fabric glue. Here is a back view showing the sash and her beautiful curls.
