Take your dolls to a birthday party. Or host one!

This collection includes patterns for the fancy party dress with rickrack trim on the sleeves and hem, an easy polkadot party hat, and a cute kitty gift bag. (The bag is just the right size to hold a real-life gift card, some candy, or another small gift.)
