Peasant Dress Doll Pattern by Elizabeth Evans Step 1 Cut out 2 dress patterns (one front and one back) and 2 sleeves from pattern. Place one sleeve on dress front (right sides together) and sew on the curve. Step 2 Repeat with the other sleeve. Step 3 Repeat the same thing for the back dress pattern. It should look like this when you have sewn both sleeves to the front and the back dress pieces. Step 4 Hem the sleeves ¼ inches and sew.
