Short
Sleeve Dress Pattern and Sewing Instructions |
Here
are instructions for making short sleeve dresses to fit 18inch (45cm) to 21
inch (52.5cm) Raggedy Ann dolls. The model above is my 20 inch Raggedy Ann.
You’ll need one quarter yard (one quarter meter) of material for the skirt.
For the front and back bodice, you'll need one quarter yard same or contrasting
material.
Also, for neckline facing, you'll need a 10 inch (25cm) long by one inch
(2.5cm) wide bias strip, and the same length of rickrack.
Pattern pieces for short sleeve bodice: The grid is 1 inch (2.5cm)
squares. Pattern pieces include one quarter inch seam allowance. You may use
the pattern for yourself or gifts but not commercially.
Try printing out the pattern pieces to see if they stay 1 inch square:
Skirt Pattern
Cut fabric 32 inches (56cm) wide and 10 inches (25cm) long for skirt to just
below knee. The finished skirt length on the model is 7 inches.
General Sewing Instructions
Pattern pieces include one-fourth inch seam allowance.
For the skirt, cut fabric 31 inches (77.5cm) wide and 10 inches (25cm) long for
skirt to just below knee.
Cut a 10” (25cm) long by 1” (2.5cm) wide strip on the bias of dress material to
finish neckline.
Bodice Sewing Instructions
With right sides of back and front bodice facing, sew together at shoulders.
Press seam open.
Baste right side of rickrack to right side of neck opening.
Using the bias strip sew one long edge to right side of neckline. Clip curves.
Fold bias strip to inside of neckline, turning in once and blind stitch to
wrong side of neckline.
To finish back seam of bodice, turn in twice on each center edge and hand or
machine stitch to make a ¼” hem. Overlap waist edge ¼” and secure with velcro dots - no buttons on doll clothes children play
with, please.
Sleeves
Roll in lower edge and hem by hand or machine. (I sew sleeve and skirt hems by
hand.)
Gather along lower finished edge of sleeve, (I use quilting thread for
strength) just loose enough to slide over doll’s hand and lower arm; about 5
inches (12.5cm).
Along armpit edge gather sleeve with basting stitch just inside the one-quarter
inch line to fit armhole and with right side of sleeve facing right side of
front and back bodice (which are just joined at shoulders and now lay out flat)
stitch together with one-fourth inch seam. Clip curve. Repeat for other sleeve.
With right sides of sleeves and bodice facing, sew together sides of bodice and
underside of sleeves at the same time. Repeat on other side.
Skirt construction
How to sew bodice to skirt
Sew back seam leaving 2 inches (5cm) open at top of seam to match back seam of
bodice. Roll in raw edges and blind stitch hem. (This is for ease of dressing
doll.)
Gather the waist seam to match the bodice lower edge and sew skirt to bodice. I
make this a half inch seam for both skirt and bodice, because of gathered top
edge of skirt at waist, and so bodice and skirt do not pull apart with use.
When dress is completed sew a velcro dot just above
waistline and at neckline to overlap bodice back one quarter inch.
Turn right side out. On outside topstitch just above waistline on bodice all
the way around.
Just below knee finished skirt length is 7.25 inches (18cm).
***************************************************************
To make your 1-inch square (2.5cm) grid graph paper
First, take an 8.5x11 inch piece of plain paper and draw 1 inch squares - I do
this by drawing horizontal lines 1 inch apart down the page, and then verticle lines 1 inch apart across the page.
Next, looking at the .jpg image you want to enlarge, copy what is in each of my
squares into your larger squares.
