  • Choose light, flowing fabrics for sewing doll outfits: chintz, cotton. You can also use jerseys, such as old T-shirts, t-shirts, socks, baby knee socks, from which she grew up. Dresses made of jersey fit well on the figure of the doll, it is easy to work with.
  • It is desirable to select the color of the threads to match the tone of the fabric.
  • Be sure to make small seam allowances.
  • After connecting the seams, they must be ironed.

Due to numerous requests and hints from workers, I want to show you how to sew a dress for your favorite doll easily, quickly and accurately! I immediately warn you that with some points, cutting and sewing professionals may not agree with me. In this master class, I simplify many points. So, my daughter's baby doll will be loved as a doll. Let's get started!

We will need small pieces of fabric in the color that you like, it is better that it be cotton or soft linen. Lace and ribbons for decoration, three buttons for fasteners, threads and inspiration!

1. We make a pattern. To be honest, I don’t like to bother too much, so I fold the album sheet in half, apply it to the baby doll (mentally dividing the baby doll in half too). I draw a pattern, cut it out, adjust it, and we get something like this pattern for the front of the bodice.

2. Next, folding the fabric in half, lay out our pattern and redraw it in front of the bodice, then, folding the pattern in half again, draw a mirror of the back shelves. Notice how the lines go. For convenience, of course, you can make a separate shelf pattern. We raise the neckline and lengthen the side cut by a centimeter and a half. We cut out, capturing two layers of fabric at once with scissors. Cut out with seam allowances. As a result, we should get two front and four rear shelves.

3. We sew lace to the front part of the bodice in this way, but so that the line does not pass through the holes on the lace - they will still be useful to us for lacing!

5. Now we fold both sets with the right sides inward and sew them together, leaving only the bottom and side sections intact. We make cuts in the places of rounding. We twist and iron. Here's what should happen.

6. Now we sew the side sections so that the seam is inside this entire “construction”.

7. We put the bodice aside and prepare the hem. We measure the desired length, taking into account the seams and hem. I got a cut of 20 by 80 cm. We process the side sections with a zigzag stitch, fold it once on the wrong side and sew it. We bend the lower cut of the hem inward twice and also sew. Smoothing out!

8. We make a line along the upper cut of the hem, pull the lower thread and tighten the hem to the desired size (waist circumference). Further attention! We fold the bodice and hem with wrong sides to each other. We sew the hem to the bodice only to the purl "set" of the bodice. When we finish sewing and turn off the hem, it should turn out like this.

Inside the dress should look like this - a photo of a slightly different dress, I forgot to take a picture at this stage.

10. We sew buttons on the back, make lacing from a ribbon on the lace, put a dress on the doll and hand it to a happy child!

Thank you very much for your attention and enjoy your work!

Girls really like to pretend to be mothers and take care of their doll babies. Dressing up dolls is one of the most entertaining girls' activities. If you give a girl clothes for her favorite doll, then there will be no limit to the joy of the child. The most interesting thing is that making such an element of a doll wardrobe is as easy as shelling pears. We will tell you how to sew a beautiful dress for your daughter's favorite doll.

If you are wondering how to make a dress for a doll with your own hands, then in this article you will find everything you need. The most interesting thing is to dress a Barbie doll. The very image of the Barbie doll, born in the minds of two Americans in the middle of the last century, implied the creation of a doll that looked like an adult, because. all the rest were depicted as pot-bellied babies. Barbie was supposed to have the same worries and habits as a young American woman. In addition, collections of clothes in different styles and shapes were created especially for Barbie. Of all the dolls, Barbie is the most suitable for taking a serious look at her wardrobe.

This is how the most famous puppet beauty in a homemade dress will look like.



These three chic dresses are made according to one pattern. They are all very bright and stylish, but in fact it is one and the same dress. Now we will talk about how you can make different products that are completely different from each other, without wasting time looking for all kinds of dress patterns for dolls.

We start sewing a beautiful dress for a doll with our own hands

To make such a dress, you will need 2 pieces of fabric measuring 15 by 6.5 cm and 12.5 by 30 cm. If you are planning straps on the dress, you will need a decorative ribbon 13 cm long (two 6.5 cm straps). You also need to purchase Velcro 10 cm long for fastening.

First you need to overcast all the edges of two pieces of fabric. Then you need to fold inward 1 cm of fabric and iron on two short sides of a piece of fabric and on one long one in this way.

Along the folded edges you need to lay a line on a sewing machine.

Next, a piece is taken for the bodice (15 by 6.5 cm) and fixed on the doll in order to make tucks. As shown in the figure, you need to pull the fabric along the figure of the doll with needles, and then sew it from the wrong side of the product.

Let's get to the skirt. Lay a line along the top edge of the skirt and tighten the fabric.

Then we fold the bodice and skirt with the front sides and sew them together, stepping back from the edge of 1 cm.

In order for the dress to fit properly, turn it inside out, iron the seam between the bodice and the skirt, and then lay a line along it from the front of the product, retreating 0.3 cm from the seam.

At the end of the work, sew on Velcro for fastening.

As can be seen from the description of the work, making a dress for a doll is a matter of a couple of hours. But how much joy my daughter will have when she receives a new thing for her pet. Such a dress can be made with straps by simply sewing two ribbons on the wrong side. In addition, you can make a dress to the floor, which will make it an evening option. You can decorate products with all kinds of applications, pebbles, beads, etc. To the dress, you can sew a handbag, beret or coat in the same style.

Here are some more models of doll dresses.




The last two dresses are crocheted. Here the work is completely different. No patterns, scissors, sewing machines needed. The main thing you need is a dress pattern for a doll, crocheted only according to the pattern.

We talked about how to sew an original dress for a small doll. However, there are even easier things to make. For example, here are the skirts.

In order to sew such skirts, you need a minimum of fabric and, most importantly, very little time. You can sew them from any pieces of fabric that you find at home. The size of a piece of fabric for a skirt is 19 cm by 11 cm. You can cut several such fragments. In addition, for work you will need an elastic band, scissors, threads and a sewing machine. For those who know how to make beautiful stitches with their hands, you can do without a typewriter.

So, let's get started. If you have different pieces prepared for one skirt, then they need to be sewn together.

If you have an overlock, then the cuts of the sewn parts and the correct part of the skirt need to be overcast. A zigzag machine stitch is also suitable for overcasting.

Hello dear guest and doll lover. Today I put on a new dress for my doll. I will share with you how sew a dress for a doll very quickly from pieces of fabric left after shortening your own clothes.

I have a dress sewn on Baby Born 43 cm tall, but how to sew a dress for a doll another height? It all depends on the size of the piece of fabric that you have. I shortened my skirt by 12 cm, so I sewed an outfit for a 43 cm doll. For a 36 cm doll, a piece of fabric 9 cm wide is quite suitable, for a 30 cm doll, 7 cm is enough. My clothes are 46 sizes, so the length of the piece of fabric was about 100 cm ( I did not measure the fabric when I shortened the skirt, now I only calculated it according to the finished doll outfit).

Knitted doll dress, consists of three parts: 2 identical parts of the bodice, 1 part of the skirt.

There are no seams on the shoulders, so lace ties are sewn on, which also serve as an ornament to the dress. The belt is also made of lace. Such an outfit can be sewn from any fabric, because it is worn very easily on the doll. Sewing it is very simple, any beginner sewing can handle this job.

If the fabric does not stretch, then the dress must be made wide. My jersey stretches very little, so the outfit is quite wide. But due to the lace belt, this is practically invisible. Additionally, you can make another seam at the waist, forming a drawstring to put the elastic in, like in trousers or a skirt. If the knitwear is bielastic, that is, it stretches well in all directions, the outfit can be sewn tight.

I really like the scraps of fabric left after shortening clothes, because they are already hemmed beautifully with a sewing machine. I don’t have such a machine, so I use such trimmings with pleasure, I sew doll trousers, skirts, dresses.
