Make a cute bug costume for your 18 inch doll with this PDF pattern. Play with fabric to create a Ladybug or a Bee. There are two different wing shapes included for you to sew your bug.
The bug suite is a one piece romper with elastic cuffs at the shorts. It has a hook-and-loop closure in the back.
The wings are made from vinyl sewn together with elastic arms for easy dressing onto the doll. The wings can also be made from felt.
A headband tutorial is included using a pre-made headband and pipe cleaners to create the antennae.
