Blythe helmet knitting pattern

Simplicity 1506 Waistcoat
Simplicity 1506 Waistcoat: Big and Tall Boy's and Men's Waistcoats Sewing Pattern. I made view B in Scottish tweed in size 2XL This is a very straight forward pattern. The only major change I made was with the interfacing. It seamed a bit odd to me that the pattern called for interfacing for the whole front of the piece.

DIY Anthro Dolls

I'd rather put that money and effort towards my next dolly purchase. The solution, as the title suggests, is DIY.
