This is a photograph of a 1970's version of the vintage Strawberry Shortcake dolls. She stands in a room with a turquoise blue wall behind her and a white floor at her feet. She wears blue plastic shoes, a purple cotton skirt that's printed with tiny vines and flowers in pastel colors, and a crisp, white cotton short-sleeved shirt. Her red hair is cut in a bob with bangs (fringe), and her hands are splayed out at her sides. The Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in the corner of the photo.

As we inch toward Easter, it’s time to start your springtime craft projects, so today I’m posting this adorable skirt and shirt combo for little tiny 5 inch vintage Strawberry Shortcake dolls.

To make today’s little white cotton shirt, you’ll of course need some solid white 100% cotton fabric and a few tiny size 4/0 snaps.

And to make the skirt, you’ll need some small print cotton fabric and 1/8 inch elastic.

When sewing a project this small, it’s best to sew by hand, in my humble opinion. For a hand-stitching, you might want to purchase some very small hand stitching needles (Dritz size 10 “betweens” is what I recommend).

If you’re not sure why I recommend sewing this tiny outfit by hand, it might help to read this blog post called “Why don’t my seams match up?”

Which dolls will fit today’s doll clothes?

Here are the free patterns and tutorial videos for making this shirt:

Okay, but what if you want a cotton shirt with long sleeves? That’s not too hard if you sign up for, my Creative Spark class, “How to Alter Doll Clothes Patterns,” which is available on the Creative Spark platform. You can sign up any time you want!

In my class on Creative Spark, you’ll learn how to lengthen and shorten sleeves, how to lengthen and shorten the bodice portion of the shirt, and even how to re-size patterns — yes! You can take a bigger doll’s pattern, for example, and shrink it down to fit Strawberry Shortcake with the skills you learn in “How to Alter Doll Clothes Patterns!” How cool is that?

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/
