This pattern is for shirts for 8 inch (20cm) mini baby dolls, such as Gotz Mini Muffin, Corolle Mini Calin, and similar baby dolls.

This pattern is my original design and may not be used commercially.

I have made the .jpg images to the true size of the pattern. But if they do not print out with 1 inch squares, then here are directions to make your own graph paper, to then transfer the patterns. I recommend first trying to open this page in the print friendly version and then printing out to save yourself some time and effort.

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 vertical 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.

Seam allowances of one quarter inch are included.

Shirt Notes

Because this is such a small doll you do not need much material to make the shirt. A 10 inch by 14 inch piece of material will be sufficient to make one shirt with the facing of the same material.

If you wish to make your mini baby doll either a boy or girl doll in particular, then choose the wardrobe material accordingly.

This is an extra easy pattern with no type of closure needed for the neck opening.

To dress your doll, first put the shirt over the head, then insert one arm, then the other. It is a loose fit for a casual look.






This shirt pattern is for a boy or girl, according to the material you choose and how you complete the outfit.

The shirt pattern has the main shirt piece, and a shirt facing piece.

Cut one shirt piece on the fold. Cut one facing piece on the fold.

Sewing Instructions

Facing

Cut out the facing piece on the fold and turn up the long rounded outside edge one eighth inch, one time, and hem all around.

Shirt

- Lay out the shirt piece finished side up. Lay the facing piece over top with finished sides together. The long edge of the facing should be lined up over the shirt front.

- Cut a slit one inch down the front through both the facing and shirt front, starting at the neck edge at center front to form an opening.

- Sew the facing to the neck edge and down around the front opening. Clip curves and turn facing to inside and press seam.

- Roll up sleeve edge one eighth inch twice and blind stitch.

- Line up front to back of shirt, finished sides facing and sew underarm and side seam. Make seam one quarter inch wide.

- The last step is to roll up lower edge one eighth inch twice and blind stitch hem.

It took me 45 minutes to sew the shirt by hand, and depending on the material you use you can make the shirt look like it is for a boy or girl.

And, of course, Floppy, the Cyber Doll House mascot is in the scene as usual, and gives you an idea of just how mini this special baby doll is!
