Please note that today’s tutorial video mentions that the 6-inch American Girl dolls fit into today’s free shorts pattern as well as the 8-inch Dora and Friends dolls. Yay! (I love it when dolls can swap clothes!)

So on the following patterns, you’ll see images of the 6″ AG dolls instead of the Dora and Friends dolls. Don’t be confused by this please. It’s just that I first designed these clothes to fit the 6-inch AG Mini dolls, so the patterns still show that doll in the illustrations:

For your convenience, I’ve also posted a link to the tutorial video showing how to make the T-shirt, which is found on the pattern.

If you’d like to make the underpants or the skirt for your Dora and Friends dolls, click on the links I’ve provided, but note that the tutorial videos for those clothing items focus more on the 6″ American Girl Mini dolls, although it’s possible to use those tutorials to guide you as you make the clothes for your 8″ Dora and Friends dolls.
Remember that you can show your appreciation for my free sewing patterns and tutorials by sharing them on Pinterest, Twitter, and other social media platforms. As it says at the end of the video, it actually helps me out a lot if you share them!

The shorts will also fit Original Skipper dolls
