Cap Sleeve Dress |
Here are instructions for making cap sleeve dresses to fit 18inch
(45cm) to 20 inch (50cm) Raggedy Ann dolls. The model above is my 20 inch
Raggedy Ann.
This
is a very easy to make dress pattern with just 3 pieces - bodice front, bodice
back and skirt. The sleeves are part of the bodice. If making short sleeves use
the pattern as drawn. If you wish to make the shorter cap sleeve dress cut the
sleeve length by one half inch before hemming.
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 contrasting material.
Also,
for neckline facing, you'll need a 10 inch (25cm) long by one inch (2.5cm) wide
bias strip.
Pattern pieces for cap 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 to see if the grid stays 1 inch
square.
For the skirt, cut fabric 32 inches (78.5cm) wide
and 8 inches (20cm) long for skirt to just below knee or 9.5 inches (24cm) long
to just above ankle length.
Construction directions
Bodice with Sleeves
With
right sides of back and front bodice facing, sew together at shoulders. Press
seam open.
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 one quarter inch twice on each center edge
and hand or machine stitch.
Stitch
front to back underarm seam on each side.
Roll
in lower edge of sleeves and hem by hand or machine. (I sew sleeve and skirt
hems by hand.)
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) and finished length
ending just above ankle is 9.5 inches (24cm).
***************************************************************
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.
