Clothes Patterns for 18 Inch
Dolls and Bitty Baby
Gillian,
in Canada made this outfit for her great grands using this pattern -
Another set of costumes made from
the patterns -
Here are instructions for making shirts and pants to fit 14 to 16inch (35 to
40cm) American Girl Boy or Girl Bitty Baby, Zapf New Born Baby, and medium baby
dolls with similar body types.
Supplies needed:
You’ll need one quarter yard (one quarter meter) of material for the pants. And, one quarter yard (one quarter meter) of material for the
shirt.
Also, for neckline facing, you'll need a 27 inch (68cm) long by one inch
(2.5cm) wide bias strip.
One sticky dot for front shirt closing, (no buttons for kids doll clothes, please).
15 inch (37.5 cm) piece of narrow elastic for waist of pants.
Shirt Sewing Directions:
This is a very easy to make shirt pattern with just 2 pieces - front and back
with cap sleeves built in. The pattern pieces are below. To make the
shirt sew front and back shoulder seams and press to back. Iron up one quarter
inch twice for hems at lower sleeves. Ironing the hems first makes sewing so
much easier. Using a 27 inch strip of 1 inch wide bias material that
matches the shirt sew to right side of shirt front, up around neck edge and
back down to lower front edge. Turn to inside, turn 1/4 inch in and stitch to
inside to form a nice finish. Sew under arm and side seams and sew sleeve hem.
Could that be easier! Trim or not to suit the outfit.
Pants Sewing Directions:
Using the pattern below cut 2 pieces on fold line. Open out pieces and place
right sides together. Sew together at body center seams starting at waist edge
down to crotch. Next, line up the body front and body back and sew the lower
leg seam from lower edge up through crotch and back down to the other lower
leg. At lower leg turn up fabric 1/4 inch twice and stitch hem. At waist line
fold in 1/4 inch and then 1/2 inch and stitch closed leaving 1 inch open to run
narrow elastic for waist. Tie elastic in a knot and stitch seam closed.
