Not Just a Witch Pattern - This is a Valspierssews Doll Designs Witch

After Halloween I will rename Snugfit Witch to Snugfit Wanda. This is because the pattern is not just a witch costume. It is a part of the Doll Designs range and the pieces can be used in lots of different ways. As well, it is part of the Snugfit range so the pieces can be swapped around with other Snugfit patterns.

With just the 1417 Snugfit Wanda pattern pieces you can make these two beautiful dresses.

Here she is with the cute Tote Basket you can make using the Applique Tote pattern 1401.

Typical of my Doll Design patterns The Applique Tote 1401 has a free related Fashion File with lots of ideas for making up the pattern.
The Snugfit Witch (aka Wanda) will also have a free Fashion File with basic instructions on how to get the different looks. I even have a Christmas Elf costume idea with the pointed peplum. Coming soon.

If you have Snugfit Anna Blouse 1402 you can combine the blouse bodice with the witch sleeves and get double use out of the black skirt to create this gorgeous old fashioned look.

So it is a good idea to pick up the Snugfit Witch while it is on special for only $1.00 USD. Only until Halloween then it reverts to $1.50 USD.

If you haven't taken the plunge into internet shopping you can't get much safer than PayPal for the checkout and you don't have to have a PayPal account even.

Snugfit Witch PDF doll pattern - a little witch, a big witch and a princess all in one.

This has been a big project mainly because I kept wanting to add to it as I went.
I have included lots of instructions for those who haven't sewn clothes before. I realise that gathering with a gathering thread or applying elastic are not normal things for patchworkers so there is a bit more detail than I would normally do.

I had to add some witch's britches because the short skirt was quite short. I only had navy stripe knit but I think they would look great in red and white stripe.

The hat was a bit of a challenge. I had to use my maths to get the circles and slopes right but it fits perfectly. I wish I had a pumpkin brooch to add to it.

The big witch has a much more grown up look and I wanted to try a skirt with lots of gather. The look is helped a bit with a long tulle petticoat.

I thought not everyone is into witches and I could see how I could make a great princess costume without much change. The hardest part was sewing on the roses by hand.

The little buckle here is a plastic scrapbooking embellishment. I bought a bag of them from the craft shop for $2.00. It looks great. The ribbon roses are also from the craft shop.

The pattern includes pattern pieces and instructions to make everything.

See lots more ideas for using your pattern and the bonus pieces I have included in this blog post.

You can see how to make the necklace here.
