We're so thrilled by the reaction to the first pattern in our "Pearls by Lee & Pearl" line of time- and budget-friendly patterns for doll wardrobe essentials — patterns that are also designed to teach key sewing skills. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

This week, we'd like to share with you some of the pictures our brilliant testers sent us of the shorts they made while putting our pattern through its paces.

Most of our testers made the pattern in multiple sizes. Here are the 14 1/2 inch and 16 inch versions made by LesleyfromNebraska. How great is it that she matched the blue-green shorts so perfectly to the trim on Wellie Wisher® Camille's shirt?

We love the glittery outfits that come with the Wellie Wisher dolls — but we know that sometimes a doll just wants to run around in a pair of easy-to-wear, casual shorts.
