25 to 26 inch Doll Dress Pattern and Sewing
Directions |
Here are instructions for making dresses to fit 25 inch to 26
inch (65cm) Raggedy Ann dolls and other extra large
dolls. The model above left is my 25 inch Raggedy
Ann.
Fabric:
You’ll
need one half yard (one quarter meter) of material for the bodice and sleeves
and one third yard for the skirt.
Patterns:
Skirt pattern:
Cut a rectangle 12 inches long and 31 inches wide for skirt. This gives 2.5
inches for hem.
Bodice, sleeves and collar patterns:
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.
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.
Sewing Directions:
Photo closeup of bodice and sleeves
Collar
Finished sides facing, sew collar front to collar back on both short edges and
on long outside round edge. Leave inside short rounded edge free to turn right
side out. Clip curve and turn finished sides out and press. Sew on ribbon trim
as in photo.
Bodice
With right sides of back and front bodice facing, sew together at shoulders.
Press seam open.
Working on finished side of bodice, sew collars to neckline and clip curve.
Overtop of collar seam sew bias strip and turn to inside of bodice and sew in
place.
To finish back seam of bodice, turn in twice on each center edge and hand or
machine stitch to make a one quarter inch hem.
Sleeves
Roll in lower edge and hem by hand or machine. (I sew sleeve and skirt hems by
hand.)
Gather along dotted line of sleeve, (I use quilting thread for strength) just
loose enough to slide over doll’s hand and lower arm; about 6 inches (15cm) if
for the Raggedy Ann doll.
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
Cut a rectangle 12 inches long and 31 inches wide for skirt. This gives 2.5
inches for hem. Sew center back seam and leave a 2
inch slit at center back seam at waist edge for ease in dressing. Roll the open
edge to inside and hem. Gather skirt to fit waist and sew
on. Turn up hem one half inch and press. Then turn up 2 inches for finished
length.
Finishing Touches
Sew a band of satin or cross-grain ribbon on bodice at waistline as in photo.
Sew a velcro-type square or round closure at neck
edge and waistline. I do not risk using buttons or any other fastener on doll
clothes that kids will handle.
