Today’s video tutorial shows you how to make a flannel and cotton nightgown for regular Barbie and Made-to-Move Barbies, but it will fit a lot of other dolls too. Check out the first bulleted list for a more concise list of all the dolls that can wear this pajama/nightgown/night dress.

I really love how pretty this turned out, and the fabric was SO soft! I used a small-print flannel from JoAnn’s Fabrics for mine, but honestly, any small-print flannel fabric will work.
You’ll also need a very small amount of cotton fabric for the lining, and three or four, size 3/0 Dritz snaps, to make this nightgown.

As you can see, I also made my Barbie some little tiny felt slippers. Ordinary craft felt will work fine for these, and they’re super easy to sew!
The slipper pattern is found on the third page of the patterns’ PDF.

You’ll find that the pattern below includes a pattern for angel wings and a pattern for a bathrobe with pockets. Those tutorials are on the way, so remember to either follow this website by signing up for my newsletter, or follow my YouTube channel, to see these other tutorials when they post.

I think this would be a nice summer dress pattern. If I were to make it a nightgown, I would have to have long sleeves and lace at the neck and cuffs. It’s cold in Minnesota.
Well next week I plan to post the bathrobe pattern, which goes with the nightgown, so maybe that will help keep you warm at night in Minnesota! Hee hee! 😀
