DIY Long Sleeved Dress for Heart Family baby dolls w/free patterns #Miniature #DollClothes

Here we see a Heart Family baby doll from the Barbie family set from the 1980s. The tiny baby doll has her hair pulled up in a high pony tail. She wears a handmade dress with a green felt bodice, green bias tape cuffs, and around the bottom of the dress's skirt, there's green bias tape trim. The long sleeves and skirt of the dress are made of multicolored tiny Easter egg printed fabric with black lines criss-crossing the fabric in an almost spiderweb way.

Yesterday I posted my first pattern for the Mattel’s Heart Family Barbie baby dolls. Today I’m posting a long-sleeved dress that will also fit this little baby doll from the Heart family collection.

For this project, you’ll need some craft felt for the bodice (use Bodices E and F), a bit of 1/4 inch folded bias tape, some small print cotton fabric for the skirt, and some size 1/0 Dritz snaps.

You’ll be using the bias tape to trim the sleeves and the bottom of the skirt. I do have a tutorial that teaches you how to apply bias tape, if you feel like you could use a lesson or a review:

Please be advised that the doll shown on the actual PDF sewing pattern in this dress is a Chelsea doll, but as you can see in my second photograph (below), the same dress also fits the Heart Family baby dolls:

Patterns for making this dress with its long sleeves and bias tape trim can be found at Chelly Wood dot com under the 4 inch doll clothes pattern collection. This image of the Heart Family doll shows the little baby looking slightly to her right with her pale blue eyes. She's seated on a wooden floor with a purple backdrop behind her.

In fact, I posted the pattern for Chelsea just last week. Here’s an image of a Chelsea doll wearing the same dress:

A little African American or African Chelsea doll leans back on her right heel, tipping the skirt of her Easter dress up. The dress she wears is made of multicolored cotton, green felt (for the bodice), and green bias tape (around the edges of the sleeves and skirt.

Remember that post? Notice that the sleeves and skirt are shorter on Chelsea, but she still looks absolutely adorable in this dress!

So really, today’s free pattern is ideal for any kids who love to play with the little “child” dolls from the Mattel Barbie line. However, today’s dress pattern won’t fit the modern Barbie baby dolls, as they are much smaller than the Heart Family baby dolls.
