Springfield Doll Hooded Sweatshirt and Shorts
Along with dresses and other pretty outfits, I wanted to make sure the donation doll had some comfortable casual clothes. I spent plenty of summers with the combination of shorts and a hooded sweatshirt to deal with that unpredictable New England weather. We always had an extra sweatshirt because while the summer weather could be hot, many of our destinations had a cooler side that required a little extra warmth. That inspired my thinking behind this pairing of patterns.
The hooded sweatshirt pattern comes from Sweater Trio, booklet FCM494. The shorts are shortened versions of the pants found in Maggie’s Crochet Abby, Allie, and Annie Pattern.
I am working on a different pattern for a nightgown that comes with a robe. I hope to finish the first one I started, as it looks like I will have two dolls when I am finished with this project.

Springfield Doll Dress, Hat, Shoes, and Purse
I am continuing to work on my donation doll project and more convinced that I will need a second doll. I am having fun mixing and matching patterns in my efforts to avoid pattern that require thread.
The dress and shoes for this project come from a pattern I purchased from Maggie's Crochet, Ready for Spring available for purchase here. The hat and the purse for this outfit came from Shady Lane's Crochet Butterfly availabe for purchase here.

Springfield Doll Poncho, Skirt, and Hat
This is another outfit for my donation doll made from Maggie Crochet's Abby, Ally and Annie pattern available for purchase here. The skirt pattern is actually the pants pattern adapted into a skirt for a slightly different look. I am trying to make as many pieces that can be mixed and matched later. An additional skirt seemed like a good alternative.
