For your free patterns and tutorial videos, please scroll down to the second set of bullets.

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.

Standing near a miniature dresser with a vanity style mirror and a matching wooden chair, we see a Made-to-Move Barbie with Asian features dressed in a handmade nightgown and handmade felt slippers. The handmade nightgown (or night dress) is dotted with red and grey spots, and there are tiny red cardinals that appear here and there on the soft flannel. The image is marked with the ChellyWood.com logo.

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.

Here we see a Barbie doll with long black hair worn in a pony tail. She stares at her own reflection in a mirror on a vanity atop a dresser or chest of drawers. A wooden chair sits empty beside Barbie. The doll wears a handmade pajama nightgown / night dress, made of small-print flannel fabric, decorated with dots and tiny cardinals. She also wears a pair of matching felt handmade slippers. To get the free printable sewing patterns for making these doll clothes, please go to ChellyWood.com

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.

Is this pattern close to what you were looking for, but maybe you’re wishing the pattern was slightly different? If so, my Creative Spark class, “How to Alter Doll Clothes Patterns” may be just what you need to make these patterns into the pattern you see in your imagination.

The image shows a soft doll laying on a cutting mat. Beside her is a pen and pencil, a pair of handmade doll shorts, and a pair of handmade doll pants. A woman's right hand points to a pants pattern which is laying on top of a shorts pattern, as if she is somehow comparing the two paper doll clothes patterns: the shorts pattern and the pants pattern. Beside the woman's right hand is a ruler with imperial and metric measurements. The words to the left of this image say, "Chelly's Class: How to Alter Doll Clothes Patterns" and beneath the photo is the following URL: https://creativespark.ctpub.com/

  1. 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.

    1. 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! 😀
