Please scroll down to the second set of bullets for the free printable PDF sewing patterns and links to any additional relevant tutorial videos.

Today’s video shows you how to make a pair of elastic-waist, wide-legged jeans or pants, which will fit many 8 inch dolls, including, but not limited to, the Breyer Riders (dolls suited to ride Breyer Model Horses). There’s a list of all the dolls that will fit this free pattern, if you scroll down to the first set of bullets.

Here we see a front view of an 8 inch Breyer Rider doll (red-headed veterinarian Laura) modeling handmade doll clothes which were designed by Chelly Wood. The doll's long-sleeved shirt has a rounded hemline, a slight scoop neck, slightly puffy sleeves, and the sleeves are attached at the shoulder, rather than having a raglan style sleeve attachment. The shirt is made of red and white cotton jersey blended with spandex, and having very tiny horizontal stripes. The sleeves are long enough to reach to the doll's wrist. She also wears a pair of wide-legged navy blue pants or jeans. The doll faces forward with her hands at her sides.

To make the jeans you see in the video at the top of the page, you will need some cotton or lightweight denim fabric and some 1/8 inch elastic.

The pattern for the shirt is still in the prototype stage. Hopefully I’ll have that pattern finished soon, and at that time, I’ll post the video tutorial showing how to make it as well.

Here’s a view of the pants or jeans from the back. As you can see, they do have that wide leg that makes it easy for a doll to get her boots on and off!

In this image, the Breyer Rider (veterinarian Laura) doll faces away from the camera. She wears a red and white long sleeved shirt with navy blue pants or jeans that have wide legs like the 1970's style of pants. We can see that the back closure of her shirt uses snaps. She stands on a white floor with a turquoise blue mottled backdrop in front of her. She wears her ginger hair in a single pony tail.
