Sew a skirt and top for 3 inch Strawberry Shortcake baby/toddler dolls w/today’s free PDF sewing patterns @ ChellyWood.com #DollClothesPatterns #SummerCrafts

From the Strawberry Shortcake vintage 1970's Kenner doll collection, here is a Butter Cookie baby doll with hair like Lemon Meringue's, all curly and yellow. She models a white shirt with sleeves and a tiny purple floral handmade skirt. She faces the viewer in a room that has a blue wall and a white floor. The Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in the lower right corner of the image.

I first posted these patterns for the Anna and Elsa Frozen mini dolls, but as you can see, they also fit my vintage Kenner toddler/baby Strawberry Shortcake dolls, although the skirt is a bit long on her.

For the elastic on this teeny-tiny skirt, I used a cord style of elastic instead of braided elastic. To read all the tips on how to use cord elastic instead of braided elastic for your miniature skirt, please click here.

In the description of my photos, I’ve called this doll “Butter Cookie,” but in all honesty, I am not sure which doll she is. I think Butter Cookie had black eyes, but this little beauty has green eyes. Have a look:

This is a close-up of a Butter Cookie toddler or baby doll wearing a handmade white cotton shirt with T-shirt like sleeves over a purple skirt that has pastel flowers printed on it. The skirt flares a bit. The shirt has a scoop neck. The doll looks to the left of the viewer. Her little shoes are made of blue plastic. Her tiny button nose has itty bitty freckles on it. Her eyes have tiny painted eyelashes. She smiles and has rosy cheeks.

Do any of you know which doll this would be? I thought she was a Butter Cookie because when I bought her on eBay, she was wearing the baby bunting that Butter Cookie typically came in. But I’m up for ideas here.

Feel free to leave your guess in the comments. I’d like to change the name of the doll in my “alt text” description to correctly reflect this doll’s identity because people who are visually impaired rely on the alt text descriptions in the photos, to help them understand what’s in the photo (and YES, visually impaired people DO sew doll clothes).

Here’s one more photo of my little mini Strawberry Shortcake toddler or baby doll. Let me know if you think you can correctly identify her:

Here we see a Butter Cookie character doll from the 1970's Kenner Strawberry Shortcake collection of dolls modeling a handmade shirt and skirt. The doll is some distance away from the viewer, and she appears to be walking to the right of the viewer in a room that has a blue wall and a white floor. The doll models a white cotton shirt with T-shirt sleeves and a purple cotton floral-print skirt with a slight flare.

To make today’s skirt, you’ll need some small print or solid cotton fabric and some elastic cord.

To make the little white cotton shirt, you’ll of course need some solid white 100% cotton fabric and a few tiny size 4/0 snaps. For a sewing project this small, you might also 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 shirt by hand, you may want to read this blog post called “Why don’t my seams match up?”
