Elastic-waist pants are so easy to make for your dolls! So why not? Give these easy-to-sew pants a try!
Eventually, I also plan to post the shirts you see in this video. Also, today’s free pattern comes with a shorts pattern as part of the PDF, and eventually I’ll upload to my YouTube channel the tutorial video showing you how to make the shorts as well.
If you’d like to make the Mary Jane style shoes for your Rainbow High dolls, here’s the link to that pattern and tutorial. I originally designed those to fit Monster High dolls, and I was thrilled to discover they fit on my Sheryl doll!
To make today’s elastic-waist jeans or ankle pants, you’ll need some cotton or lightweight denim fabric and some 1/8 inch elastic. That’s it! That’s all you need…

- Creatable World dolls
- Ideal’s vintage Pepper dolls
- Rainbow High 10 and a half inch dolls
- Ideal vintage Tammy dolls (pants or jeans fit as capris)
