Football Pants 18" Doll Clothes

When football season is in full swing, your doll will love having his/her own padded football pants for a game of football, flag football, or just to wear for fun. The intermediate version can be made with a lacing panel in the front and a belt that closes with D-rings. The confident beginner can omit the belt and lacing panel to make a basic pair of football pants with or without the padding and/or ribbon trim. Have fun making pants in a variety of colors.  This PDF sewing pattern by JenAshley Doll Designs is designed to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl®.
