Doll's clothes are relatively expensive to buy in the shop and are ususally lacking in quality. If you are looking for a pattern and instructions to try and make a simple outfit consisting of a shirt, a pair of trousers and a bonnet for a 36 cm baby doll, then you will hopefully find it useful. It's free, simple and quick to make!
You will need:
- fabric - again, an old shirt will do
- lace (for the cuffs, collar & bottom of the trousers)
- ribbon (to tie the bonnet with)
- elastic for the top of the trousers
- button for closing shirt at the back of the neck
- download the patterns below:
Here are photos of all 3 pieces inside out, with threads still hanging off them to show you, how you need to pin and sew them together. Once done do as follows:
For the trousers:
- fold the top of the waist over to the inside to create a tube to push the elastic through. Stitch the tube. Thread elastic through and sew elastic together.
- place the lace around the bottom of the legs and sew into place
For the bonnet:
- Fold the bottom of the bonnet to the inside, sew in place and thread the ribbon through.
The shirt:
- fold some of the lace in half and place around the neckline to cover the raw edge. Stitch into place
- pin lace around each cuff and stitch into place
- sew button onto neck opening and make a little loop on the opposite side to enable you to close it.
Enjoy & let me know if you have any questions!
