Are you looking for the patterns? Scroll down to the second set of bullets.

Today’s blog post is actually a re-post of one from about a year ago. It’s not a bad idea to remind my regular followers that I have some teeny-tiny doll clothes patterns available as well as the patterns for bigger dolls. So that’s what today’s blog post is all about.

Today’s pattern for a sun dress will fit the regular-sized vintage Kenner Strawberry Shortcake dolls, as you’ll see below:

Blueberry Muffin looks positively adorable in this ready-to-play sun dress with a blue-white-yellow striped skirt, a yellow felt bodice, and yellow straps. She wears the blue shoes she came with, and her blue hair is up in pigtails. Want to make a miniature dress for your 5-inch Strawberry Shortcake dolls (13 cm dolls)? Click on the link in the caption, and it will take you to a page where you can download and print all the free printable sewing patterns for making these doll clothes, along with links to tutorial videos that show you how to make this outfit.

And it will also fit the smaller, “baby” or “toddler” sized vintage Kenner Strawberry Shortcake dolls:

From the Strawberry Shortcake vintage dolls collection of the 1970's, here we see Butter Cream wearing a very tiny sun dress for baby-sized miniature Strawberry Shortcake dolls. (She stands 3.5 inches or 9 cm tall.) Do you have a very tiny doll you need to make some doll clothes for? Click on the link in the caption, and it will take you to a page where you can download and print all the free printable sewing patterns for making these doll clothes, along with links to tutorial videos that show you how to make this outfit.

I’m confident when I say that today’s pattern will likely fit any of the Kenner Strawberry Shortcake regular-sized and toddler-sized dolls from the 1980’s, but it won’t fit the larger “villain” or “adult” character dolls.

You’ll notice that the dress fits my 3 and a half inch Butter Cookie toddler doll like a long dress, whereas it fits Blueberry Muffin more like a play dress. Be aware of this difference when deciding whether or not this pattern will work for you.
