Bodysuit Pattern for Gotz Muffin and other
Small Baby Dolls 12 to 13 Inches

13 Inch Gotz Muffin in bodysuit with Floppy

Corolle Calin 12 Inch Baby Doll Bodysuit

Easy to Sew Pattern

Here are instructions for making a one piece bodysuit to fit 11 to 13inch (28.5 to 32.5cm) Gotz Muffin, and small baby dolls with similar body types.

It is for boy or girl small baby dolls.

The best feature, in my opinion, is the bodysuit can be used as underwear to keep the doll's cloth skin clean, as it just covers the cloth parts of the doll.

Also it can be made up in print or flowered fabric as light weight summer wear outdoors.

Supplies needed:

You’ll need one quarter yard (one quarter meter) of material.

Two sticky dots for front shirt and back shirt closing, (no buttons for kids doll clothes, please).

Bodysuit Sewing Directions:

Photo below is Gotz Muffin with one quarter inch side seams.

This is a very easy to make bodysuit pattern with just 1 piece. The pattern piece is below. Cut 4 pieces of the pattern. 2 for front and 2 for back.

Sew center front seams together beginning 2 inches below bottom tip of diagonal neckline; see sticky closure.

Sew center back seams together beginning 2 inches below bottom tip of diagonal neckline.

Place good side of front and back toward each other and sew underarms all the way to bottom hem on both sides.

Sew front to back at shoulders.

For all hems roll edges in 1/8 inch twice and blind seam: Lower legs, lower sleeves and all the way around front center up to neck, around neck, down to back center, up to neck around to front and back to starting place.

To finish sew a sticky dot on center of front and back opening.

Having openings in front and back makes the body suit easy to put on and take off.
