Several months ago, I found a project for making a one piece swimsuit for a doll using a sock in a book called Things to Make for Your Doll by Kathy Ross. It didn’t specifically say so, but I think all the projects were intended for 18 inch dolls (i.e. American Girl) and not 11 1/2 inch, but I still thought it was a good idea. I guess I’m really getting into making doll clothes from socks, at least since the dress (see Sock Couture).
For a smaller version, I used one of my niece’s outgrown socks. It was just the right size to make this vintage looking one piece suit.
I just had to cut off the cuff and slide it on her, then pin it and stitch at the bottom. Of course I did take it off her to sew it, it would have been a pain to sew otherwise. Looks pretty good, and it would make an adorable romper too.
And since I had some scraps leftover, I started to play around with them and accidentally made this two piece swim suit as well. Again not bad for an old sock, almost wish I could find a giant size sock to make one for myself, almost.
Here’s the updated list:
