This week I’m re-posting a pattern that I made and posted when this website was brand new! Granted, the pattern was all drawn by hand in pencil, and then I went over it in simple ink pen, but it made a very nice outfit for my daughter’s Breyer Rider dolls, when she was young.
It has been available on this website as a JPG image only, for a very long time, but today I’ve converted it to a PDF for your convenience.
This pattern will help you make a shirt with a collar and a pair of elastic waist jeans to fit 8 inch dolls. To make this project, you’ll need some small print cotton fabric and size 1/0 Dritz snaps for the shirt; you’ll also need some lightweight denim and quarter inch elastic for the jeans.
And in case you didn’t catch it, yesterday’s blog post included my daughter’s tutorial videos on how to make a halter and saddle for a model horse. Here’s a link to yesterday’s blog post, so you can watch those tutorials if they’re relevant to you.
Today’s free pattern will fit the following dolls:
- 8 inch Breyer Rider dolls
- Spin Master La Dee Da dolls
- Hasbro World of Love vintage dolls
- Mego 8-inch female action figures

I am trying to find a pattern for a long western coat (like the one that the Breyer Stampede Riggins wore) only in black or dark grey. I have the Breyer one but it is in white or Cream. Want to portray the doll as Carter Slade the caretaker from The Ghost Rider movie. Any ideas. Thanks a lot. Have a shirt and lots of black slacks and boots.
Also looking for a short western open vest that is sleeveless to fit an 8 inch Breyer Male Doll. Can I do one out of felt?? Also a long western coat like the Stampede Riggins doll is wearing only want it in black or grey. Thanks a lot.
Yes, you can make a vest out of felt quite easily. There’s a vest pattern for 8 inch World of Love dolls, here on ChellyWood.com, and you could use that pattern for your felt vest. However I haven’t converted that one to a PDF yet.
Follow this guide to help you print it, if you’re not sure how that’s done.
I don’t have a long western coat pattern, but what a fun project to add to my list of possible future patterns! In the mean time, you might think about taking my “How to Alter Doll Clothes Patterns” online course because it wouldn’t be too hard to alter my Barbie bathrobe pattern so it fits a Breyer doll.
