I have always dreamed of Mermaids and Butterflies and the sun in the ocean. This pattern allows me, and you, to combine these images and create a lovely Mermaid Tail for any American Girl or other 18” (45cm) Doll.

Please let me know if you have any questions!! I love hearing from those that enjoy my patterns.
