Sew a long-sleeved shirt for baby dolls with today’s free patterns @ ChellyWood.com #DollClothesPatterns #LearningToSew

Back in December I gave you my baby doll overalls pattern. Now I’m posting the pattern and tutorial video for making the little shirt that goes under the overalls.

In today’s tutorial video, I mention my Fiskars little snippers, which I use in a lot of my tutorial videos, when I get to the part where I need to clip my seams. The links I’ve provided here will help you find a pair of those little snippers, if you want some.

Other than that, all you’ll need to make today’s long-sleeved shirt for baby dolls is a cotton fabric (and possibly a polyester fabric — but stick with just cotton if you’re a beginner), some 1/4 inch elastic, and some Dritz size 2/0 snaps.

And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that this pattern is not for the beginners out there. I’ve given my long-sleeved shirt pattern five stars, which is the highest ranking on my difficulty scale.

In this image a JC Toys baby doll from the Lil' Cutesie line of dolls, lies on a turquoise blue mottled background blanket with one foot lifted in the air. Her tiny hand reaches out, as if she wants to grab her own teeny-tiny foot. The baby doll has a pink ribbon in her hair. She models a handmade purple shirt made of silky purple polyester. The shirt has long, puffy sleeves that gather at the shoulder and the wrist. The doll wears a white diaper under her shirt, and the diaper pattern is also available for free at Chelly Wood dot com where you can find plenty of free doll clothes sewing patterns, including the pattern for making this shirt for your 8 inch Baby dolls.

Is this pattern close to what you were looking for, but maybe you’re wishing the pattern was slightly different? Maybe you wished it was for a bigger baby doll?

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. At the end of the shirt tutorial video (found at the top of this page), I describe my pattern alteration course for you in detail.

Here’s an image from one of my Creative Spark classes:

In the photo, three different types of dolls are pictured, and each is modeling overalls. On the left, an eight inch Vogue Ginny doll wears a pair of green overalls with tiny white stars. She's hugging the leg of 15 and a half inch vintage Ideal Velvet, who models a pair of red bell-bottom overalls. To Velvet's right, a JC Toys Lil' Cutesies 8 inch baby doll is wearing a pair of white overalls with multi-colored stars.
