Scroll down to the second set of bullets for the free PDF sewing patterns.
Today’s free argyle skirt pattern has been available on my website for some time now, but today is the first time I’ve offered this project for 18 inch dolls.
For today’s doll clothes sewing project, you’ll need some small-print plaid cotton fabric, some straight pins, and 1/4 inch elastic for the waist.
Please note that the free patterns I’m giving you today are spliced from a different area of this website, so the skirt pattern comes with a pattern for the wrong size shirt. Just ignore that shirt pattern, okay?
Tomorrow I’ll post a pattern for another shirt that will definitely fit your 18 inch dolls.
Today’s free printable PDF doll clothes sewing patterns will fit the following dolls:
- 18-inch dolls like American Girl dolls
- 18-inch dolls like the Adora Amazing Girls dolls
- 18-inch dolls like the Our Generation Journey Girls
- 18-inch dolls like the “My Life As” Dolls
- 18-inch dolls like City Girls from the New York Doll Collection
- 18-inch dolls like Madame Alexander 45 to 46 cm dolls
And here are the patterns and tutorial videos you’re looking for:
- Pattern for 18″ doll pleated skirt (this link offers the right skirt, but the wrong shirt pattern)
- Tutorial video showing how to make the skirt (at the top of today’s blog post)
- How to do a baste stitch
- How to pull elastic through a casing
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 my tutorial videos, it actually helps me out a lot if you share them!
