Time to make Christmas Pajamas and a bathrobe for Barbie w/free patterns @ ChellyWood.com #DollClothesPatterns #ChristmasEve #NewPajamas!

A Made-to-Move Barbie stands in a room with a purple mottled wall. There's a vanity dresser with chair beside her, and she's modeling a nightgown with matching bathrobe made of creamy colored flannel fabric dotted with tiny red and burgundy polka dots, grey twigs, and very tiny, even miniature, red cardinals. The Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in one corner.

One week ago, I gave you the patterns and tutorial video for making 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.

Then yesterday I gave you my pattern and tutorial video for making this matching bathrobe:

AND… the bathrobe has real pockets, that Barbie can put her tiny little hands into. Check it out:

A made-to-move Barbie with Asian features wears her black hair in a pony tail. She stands in profile, in front of a vanity mirror over a chest of drawers in perfect 1:6 scale. Beside the chest of drawers is a chair, also made to scale, to fit Barbie. The Barbie wears a cream-colored flannel bathrobe dotted with tiny burgundy polka dots and itty-bitty red cardinals. The doll's left arm reaches around her middle, and her right hand is clearly reaching inside a pocket that's sewn into the side of the bathrobe she wears. Her cream colored felt slippers match her nighttime ensemble.

Now that I’ve finished the tutorials for all the different parts and pieces of this “Christmas Eve” ensemble, I hope you’ll have fun making this adorable little nightgown and bathrobe set for Barbie and other similar-sized fashion dolls! Here are some links to goodies you’ll need, in order to make this outfit for Barbie’s Christmas Eve present-unwrapping events:

I used a small-print flannel from JoAnn’s Fabrics for my pajamas, but any small-print flannel fabric will work.

You’ll also need a very small amount of cotton fabric for the nightgown bodice’s lining, and three or four, size 3/0 Dritz snaps, for the nightgown’s closure.

Ordinary craft felt will work fine for the slippers, and they’re super easy to sew! You can find the slipper pattern on the third page of the patterns’ PDF.

The image shows a doll's foot posed to show that she's wearing handmade felt slippers -- house slippers made of felt-- and the overlay says "doll slippers" and offers the website URL ChellyWood.com where you can find the free pattern and tutorial for making a pair of fashion doll's slippers to fit Barbie, Skipper, vintage Francie dolls, Liv dolls, and many other dolls in the 10 inch to 11.5-inch doll size range.

For the bathrobe, once again I used a small-print flannel from JoAnn’s Fabrics (look for a “cardinals” print flannel on the JoAnn website, if you want to make the exact same one).

You’ll also need some 1/4 inch double-fold bias tape for the trim. I used the bias tape to make a belt as well, and I plan to post that “how-to” video some time next week.

It’s just an afterthought, but if you wanted to, you could loop some 1/8 inch ribbon through the bathrobe’s side seams, just above your pockets, to create belt loops. I wish I’d thought of that while I was sewing, but it didn’t come to me until later.

In this photo, the Chelly Wood doll stands in her sewing room with her tiny blue apron on, and a dialog bubble which "floats" beside her says, "PLEASE READ what I've written below." A turquoise blue arrow points down from the dialog bubble. Her sewing room wall is purple, and there's a tiny window in the wall. To the right of the window is a white party dress with tiny multi-colored polka dots, hanging on a sewing mannequin. Chelly stands beside her sewing table, where her miniature sewing machine awaits. A silver folding chair rests behind the sewing table. The Chelly Wood doll is actually a Spin Master Liv doll that has had its wig colored grey and its facial features changed to look like the real doll clothing designer, YouTuber, and writer, Chelly Wood.

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/
