Let’s sew a reversible London Print shirt and super easy matching skirt for Disney Princess toddler dolls w/#FreePatterns from ChellyWood.com #DollClothesPatterns

Here we see an Elsa Disney Princess Toddler doll wearing a handmade skirt and sleeveless top designed by Chelly Wood, the doll clothing designer, YouTuber, and writer. The top and skirt are made of the same London Print fabric. The skirt has an elastic waist and is long enough to go just below the doll's knee. The doll wears her hair in a high pony tail. She also wears handmade slide-on sandals. The background behind her is a purple cotton fabric with swirling white hearts. The floor at her feet is wooden. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in the lower left corner.

This outfit was first posted as an outfit designed to fit Wellie Wisher dolls, but I wanted to add the image above to the Disney Princess toddler doll clothes pattern gallery. So I’m re-posting the outfit today with Elsa modeling it.

Today’s top uses a printed cotton fabric on one side and a solid cotton fabric on the other side. I used 3/4 inch wide sew-on Velcro for the back closure.

The skirt was made with a matching printed cotton fabric (to match the printed cotton fabric that I used for the shirt), and it uses an elastic waist. I recommend using 1/4 inch elastic for this project.

I bought the London print fabric at Michaels a long time ago, so I don’t think it’s available anymore. However, if you have your heart set on the London print fabric that I used for this outfit, you will be able to buy a similar fabric on Etsy.

Here’s an image that might be fun to share on social media:

The image shows a printable rectangular skirt pattern for dolls that measure 14 inches, 15 inches, or 16 inches tall. This skirt pattern is called the "short schoolgirl pattern" for dolls, and it's one of two patterns that have been designed to fit any number of different dolls that range in size between the American Girl company's Wellie Wisher doll size and the Hearts for Hearts girl dolls. There's a photograph of three different dolls wearing this skirt after it has been sewn using this sewing pattern for the "schoolgirls' short skirt": the Velvet doll from the Crissy doll line, the Consuelo doll from the Hearts4Hearts Girls, and Kendall from American Girl's Wellie Wisher line of dolls. This simple-to-sew elastic waist skirt pattern comes in two pieces which you must print, cut out, and tape together. This free pattern (pattern 1 from the two patterns required) also includes a pattern for making doll sandals to fit dolls in this 14" to 16" height range. The sandal measures 2 inches or 5 cm from heel to toe. It's one and one-quarter inches across at the widest point of the foot (3.2 cm). The sandal craft project uses black foam, another color of foam to form the sole, and either a ribbon or bias tape to form the strap. You could also use colored elastic to form the strap. This pattern is marked with "Creative Commons Attribution" which means you should acknowledge where the pattern came from if you wish to use it. The pattern also offers a watermark of the website ChellyWood.com, where you can also find tutorial videos showing you how to make the skirt and the sandals.

Another way to help support this free doll clothes pattern website is to consider taking one of my paid courses in doll pattern design. The latest course I’ve posted on the Creative Spark Online Learning platform is called, “Design Your Own Doll Pants Patterns from Scratch.”

In this image, we see a smattering of tools that will be needed to take the Creative Spark course on doll clothes pattern alterations with Chelly Wood. The items include the following: a doll, a ruler with metric and imperial measurements, a pencil with an eraser, graph paper, patterns that don't quite fit your doll, fabric, craft felt, ribbons, elastic, and post-it notes or scratch paper.

The graphic shows an 18 inch doll lifting up a tiny 8 inch doll, and the American Girl doll uses a speech bubble to say "YAY!" while confetti jumps around the speech bubble joyfully. In the photo of the two dolls, each wears a matching pair of green overalls and a white tee-shirt, so the 18 inch American Girl doll's outfit matches the 8 inch vintage Vogue Ginny doll's outfit. Beside these images is a computer screen with the overlapping text "new" and "course" is written beneath the computer screen. The Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in the lower left corner, and the URL for finding the course on the Creative Spark online learning platform appears at the top of the image.

They have very lovely faces.
