A Dress Up Bunch Doll Raincoat Pattern

Dress Up Bunch Doll Raincoat Pattern

There’s a new outfit available for the Dress Up Bunch – a doll raincoat pattern!

It’s still snowing here, but soon it will be rain showers and flowers! Your dolls need to be ready for those rainy days so they can splish splash in puddles!

Of course you don’t just get a raincoat pattern. Let’s look at all the parts. . .

A spring dress - part of the Rainy Day pattern collection for Dress Up Bunch dolls.

A new dress! It’s a short-sleeved dress with three front snaps and some optional fancy trim around the bottom hem. That butterfly print is perfect for spring!

(All the fabrics you’ll see here are from the Spring Walk collection from Cloud9 Fabrics. I love it! So springtime perfect.)

Here’s a view of the raincoat from the back – with the hood down.

It’s a nice roomy hood – easy to make and easy for little hands to flip up and down over that big Dress Up Bunch head. 🙂

Adorable doll rain boots - from the Rainy Day pattern collection for the Dress Up Bunch dolls

They have a little flap on the front with velcro to make them easier for little hands to put on without any help. Plus the little bugs and caterpillars are so cute. I want boots like these!

You can use laminated cottons for the outer shell of the raincoat and boots – but I really wanted to use these prints so I laminated them myself using Pellon Vinyl Fuse. It’s easy – just follow the directions on the package and then treat it like regular fabric. Just don’t try to iron it! And clips are better than pins because pins will leave permanent tiny holes.

Want a little extra guidance? There’s a post here with a video showing how to make your own laminated fabric.

Are you ready to make a new outfit especially for rainy days?
