Remember the green floral baby doll dress that we made two weeks ago? Well that free 12″ doll dress pattern included a reversible diaper, like the one we made for 8″ dolls earlier this week.
Here’s the tutorial video for the reversible baby doll diaper that fits 12-inch baby dolls (above).
Granted, not much is different from the reversible diaper project for 8-inch baby dolls, but it’s kind of neat to see the same garment made from a little different fabric.
Once again, here’s the free printable PDF pattern for the 12-inch baby doll dress and reversible diaper (the same one that’s shown in the video above):
Working with Velcro on a non-reversible diaper can be a little more difficult than you might think, but if you want to make this diaper one-sided, the video offers a helpful tip…
Instead of positioning your diaper like this while you apply the Velcro:
Position it like this instead:
With the diaper set up like it will sit on the doll’s behind, you will find it easier to remember which way to attach your Velcro.
Of course I learned this trick the hard way, by placing the Velcro on the wrong side of the flaps in one of my early prototypes for this week’s 12 inch baby doll diaper pattern! Ugh! 🤪
Tomorrow I’ll post these 12-inch baby doll patterns and tutorials together as a set, for easy access through my directories (which I’m still working on behind the scenes).
Before I go, I want to say thanks for helping to promote my free patterns and tutorials by freely sharing any/all images from this website on social media! My regular followers have been great about that, and I truly appreciate it!
So cute and I love that its reversible

Yes, Starrcreative, I really wanted these play diapers to be reversible. It gives kids more ways to play. These (both in the 12-inch size and the 8-inch size) were designed to be given as gifts to small children, so creative play was important in the design.
Thank you, again, for leaving a comment!

I’m so with you on that. I did a Barbie dresser that was reversible and I thought the same thing – just more ways to play! I think the diapers are great and kids will really enjoy changing their dolls!

Hi Diane. I recommend using the halter top / halter dress pattern with the 12″ Corolle dolls because the halter pattern is adjustable in the back. Just sew the Velcro on the dress horizontally instead of vertically, and then you can adjust it to fit different sized dolls. Here’s a link to that pattern: https://chellywood.com/2018/06/15/free-dollclothes-patterns-for-12-baby-dolls-chellywood-com/
