This week I’m trying to catch up on my blog posts that offer lots of options for building your 28-inch doll’s wardrobe. Today I’m posting the patterns and tutorials for making the easy-sew felt top and elastic-waist shorts shown in the image above (worn by the 28-inch “Just Play” Barbie).
Here are all the patterns and tutorials you’ll need to make this summer outfit:
- FREE PDF Pattern for Sewing Shorts and Felt Top for 28″ Dolls
- FREE MS Word Pattern for Sewing Shorts and Felt Shirt for 28″ Dolls
- Tutorial Showing How to Sew Felt Shirt for 28-inch Dolls
- Tutorial Showing How to Make Elastic-waist Shorts for 28-inch Dolls
There’s also a swimsuit pattern for these oversized dolls, here on ChellyWood.com. I posted it earlier this week.
So it should be both easy and fun to create a nice summer wardrobe for your 28-inch “Just Play” Barbie or any other dolls in a similar size range.
Do you enjoy these free patterns and tutorials? If so, here are some helpful ways to tell the world about my patterns:
- You can pin them on Pinterest.
- You can like them on Facebook.
- You can tweet about them.
- Use any other form of social media that appeals to you!
The second page of this pattern reads 18” doll felt shirt. Is it for a 28” doll or an 18” doll? Just wanting to clarify. I think it is just a typo. Thanks for sharing your patterns and tutorials.
This is going to sound crazy, but the 28-inch Barbie actually fits in shirts made for 18-inch dolls like the American Girl dolls. So I just used the 18-inch doll shirt pattern for this project because the two can swap shirts (and shorts too, by the way).
