Make summer doll clothes for your Rainbow High dolls w/today’s free patterns #AmSewing #DollClothesPatterns

A Rainbow High "Sheryl" doll stands before a mottled purple backdrop, with her long golden blond hair streaming down her back. She wears handmade clothes including (from top to bottom): a white cotton shirt that's made of white fabric with a multi-colored floral print consisting of red/pink, blue/turquoise, and yellow flowers; a pair of turquoise blue linen or cotton shorts with an elastic waist; a pair of flat turquoise blue shoes similar in style to "Toms" or "Bobs" loafers. The doll stands on tip toes with her hands spread out a bit at her hips. This gives her the appearance like she's trying to look over a fence or into a high-up window.

Okay, today’s blog post may seem like a repeat because I recently posted the exact same doll clothes for Vogue Ginny dolls, but I have a good reason for this.

In order for me to add this pattern set to my Rainbow High doll free doll clothes pattern gallery, I need to have a single blog post linking to both the shorts pattern and the shirt pattern, plus links to both tutorial videos. Once it posts, I add it to the Rainbow High doll clothes pattern gallery.

If I use the Ginny doll clothes pattern for this, it can confuse first-time visitors to my site, so please excuse me for a simple blog post that just gets business done…

For an outfit like the one you see on my Rainbow High doll, you’ll want to make your shorts out of cotton solid fabric and your top out of cotton small-print fabric, but you could also get creative and mix your patterns and solids for a whole new look.

You’ll also need some 1/8 inch elastic (which I think is probably a better choice than the 1/4 inch elastic that’s mentioned in my tutorial video for making the shorts).

Today’s pattern will fit these dolls*:

Are you wishing this pattern was just a little different in its design? That’s what my paid course teaches you: “How to Alter Doll Clothes Patterns.” In fact, we actually use this pattern — YES, this very same pattern — in my course.

At the time of this blog post, the Vogue Ginny doll is no longer made, and there is not a working trademark for these dolls. If anyone knows additional information about these dolls and their current status, please leave a comment below. I’d love to learn more about the company and its dolls, but as they went out of production prior to the popularity of the internet, there’s not much to learn about them online. Click here to find out what Doll Reference has to say about them and their history.

According to Wikipedia (as of 9 January 2022), Strawberry Shortcake “is a cartoon character used in greeting cards published by American Greetings. The line was later expanded to include dolls… The franchise is currently owned by the Canadian children’s television company WildBrain and American brand management company, Iconix Brand Group through the holding company Shortcake IP Holdings LLC.” I was unable to find a website for Shortcake IP Holdings LLC, but I believe they own the US trademark for the dolls, even though I believe my own doll was originally made and marketed by Hasbro.
