It's been a while since I've made anything for this cute doll and she was feeling quite neglected. So today, I'm debuting her "Gone Fishing" outfit with the perfect accessories for a child to have a little summer fun with her doll.
It took me a while to create a fishing rod I was completely happy with. Several of my attempts were literally thrown away until I finally created the fishing pole shown in these photos. I'm quite pleased how it turned out. The best part about this fishing pole is that it can actually catch fish! How cool is that? See those cute little felt fish? You can actually catch them with the super small magnet on the end of the hook. Talk about giving this little toy a few extra bonus points with your kids!
To complete the summer look, I made a doll-sized reversible fishing hat and a "Gone Fishing" sleeveless shirt. Now this girl is all decked out and ready for some summer fun down by a fishing hole.
This pattern is an instant downloadable pdf and can be purchased HERE. The set includes the Gone Fishing sleeveless shirt, fishing pole, felt fish and instructions on how to convert an ornamental creel into a child's toy. The instructions and patterns are a bargain for only $3.00. If you'd like a chance to win this pattern for free, go to my Etsy shop HERE, like my shop and leave a comment below telling me who will be the lucky recipient of your Gone Fishing creation. Two winners will be announced on the last day of spring, June 20th at 9 p.m., Mountain Standard time.
UPDATE: Thank you to everyone that left comments and visited my Etsy shop. Two winners were contacted Friday night via my Etsy shop. The winners were Betsy and Marilyn.
If you don't want to make a "Gone Fishing" outfit, you can purchase this Gone Fishing set HERE or a fishing pole & creel HERE. Good luck! - xoxo Grandma
