came across this site. Nice…I have a lot of girls.. velvet would love to have that hood coat, I couldn’t get to come up; I have all those except TRARA. And I have others too.. sometimes I make my own style..nice to know you do too..THANKS ps I will passing the word.. MarieAnn
You can get the hooded coat pattern to download from the Hearts for Hearts Girls gallery. It does fit vintage Velvet, but the sleeves are short on her. If you extend the sleeve with a ruffle instead of piping, it might fit Velvet better.

Where is the free patterns for 18 in crissy doll clothes
Hi Trisha. You’ll find Crissy under the “18 inch dolls” page.
From the home page, click on 18″/46 cm (a purple square with this size in the middle).
Then scroll down to “Vintage Crissy and BFC Ink” below the photo.
This will take you to my gallery of free patterns. Click on the outfit you’d like to make from there.
Thanks for asking!
I have a 15 inch doll. 38 cm.
Which pattern do I use? The ones for a 40 cm doll?
(My first time)
Hi Debby. Does your doll have a brand name? Are you sewing for Velvet? Are you working with a Wellie Wisher doll?
If you wish you had measurements to compare, you might want to check out my “Doll Measurements” gallery. I have posted the measurements for Consuelo, one of the Hearts for Hearts dolls. She fits in 15 inch doll clothes. That might help you decide which doll you want to sew for.
Let me know if there’s a doll you’d really like me to take measurements for, like Wellie Wishers for example, or Velvet.
Hey Chelly.

Thanks in advance.
Greetings from my daughter Hailey and myself from Belgium.
I’m sorry for the delay in my response. This question took quite a bit of research, and yesterday was our Thanksgiving holiday here in the US. I was a hostess for my family, so I didn’t have time to do this research while cooking a meal for my family.
However, now that I’ve spent my morning researching your dolls, I’ve discovered that they all appear to be baby dolls. Since most of my patterns are for “little girl” or “woman” dolls, I made a separate link for just baby dolls from the home page.
When you go to the home page, scroll down to a button that says “Baby Dolls (Various Sizes).” I know how to speak French, and I’m aware that French is commonly spoken in Belgium. So in French, I believe this button says, “Poupées Bébé (tailles variées)” or something like that.
I believe your Corolle doll is about 16 inches tall, if I’m correct, if it’s the 38 cm doll. I recommend using the pattern for the halter top with shorts. It’s easily adjusted to baby dolls’ healthy stomach sizes! I do not have a lot of patterns for this size of baby doll, but you may be able to use some of the Velvet doll patterns for your baby doll. Not pants though. They will be too long in the legs.
Your 29 cm doll would translate to a 12 inch baby doll, and I have a few good patterns for baby dolls in that size, but I do plan to make more.
The next size you mentioned is 26 cm. Google AI tells me that’s a 10 inch doll. I do not have baby doll patterns in this size. However, if you know anyone who can do pattern alterations, You can down-size the 12 inch baby doll clothes to fit this size doll.
After you’ve been sewing for a while, you may want to take my “How to Alter Doll Clothes Patterns” course on C&T Publishing’s craft classes website. That way, no matter what size your doll is, you can always make alterations to fit any doll, using my free patterns.
Bon chance!
hi you said tsome patterns are free are you able to show me where i have to click to get the free patterns please
Hi there. I see that you’re unable to print a pattern from my website.
I served as a librarian for 10 years before I retired, so I’m going to suggest that you visit your public library. We librarians are very good a helping people print things. We get practice with it every day.
Most libraries will charge you a small fee for the use of paper and ink, like 25 cents or 50 cents. But you should be able to print with a little help from someone who has had practice with PDF files, and most librarians do.
Best of luck to you! 🙂
Thanks for the huge explanation!
I hope you enjoyed thanksgiving.
Yes, they are all baby dolls for my daughter.
I speak dutch as my 1st language.
Just a little bit of french.
I will look at everything you said.
Thanks for everything
Xoxo
Debby and Hailey
I truly hope you can find something here, that you can use!
