Sew a pair of shorts and a shirt for 11 inch Strawberry Shortcake dolls w/ free patterns #DollClothesPatterns #StrawberryShortcake

Strawberry Shortcake (the 11 inch doll) stands in front of a mottled purple background. She stands on a white floor. Her handmade doll clothes include a white shirt decorated with multicolored flowers in different shades of blue, yellow, and pink/red. She also wears a pair of turquoise blue shorts which match the turquoise blue flowers on her white cotton short-sleeved shirt. The ChellyWood.com logo in the corner of the image reminds us where we can go to find the free printable PDF sewing patterns for making these doll clothes for an 11 inch Strawberry Shortcake doll.

I had a lot of fun making these doll clothes and trying them on different dolls, including my little 11 inch Strawberry Shortcake doll.

This is the same Strawberry Shortcake doll that I rescued from a Goodwill. You may recall that she had some rubber toys tangled up in her hair:

A 9 inch Strawberry Shortcake doll is seated and her hair looks very messy.

To look at her now, you’d never guess she’s the same doll!

This image is nearly identical to the other image of Strawberry Shortcake in front of a mottled purple background, but in the previous image, the doll held her hands out wide as if to say, "look at my new outfit" whereas in this photo, Strawberry Shortcake has her hands behind her back in a way that looks sort of shy. She's also wearing the turquoise blue shorts and handmade floral cotton shirt.

To make the fashions you see in the photo above, 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 to buy some 1/8 inch elastic (for the casing in the shorts).

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.

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.
