Today we’re combining this week’s tutorial video for making a halter top for our 6 inch dolls (like Topper Dawn or Palitoy Pippa) with the shorts project I posted last week.

Together, the halter top and shorts make a very nice summer outfit for six inch dolls. On the bottom half of the image below, that’s my Remco I Dream of Jeannie doll modeling my handmade doll clothes:

A Remco I dream of Jeannie doll and a brunette Palitoy Pippa or Topper Dawn doll are both pictured modeling a handmade yellow felt halter top with a yellow bias tape collar. The dolls wear a pair of blue floral cotton shorts under the halter top. There are four images of the 6 inch dolls in various poses, showing the different angles of photography for this versatile and easy to sew halter top project, which has a free doll clothes sewing pattern available at Chelly Wood dot com.

I drafted a whole series of patterns like this one to fit Dawn dolls from Topper (6 and 1/8 inch or 15.5 cm) and I’m sincerely hoping they’ll also fit Pippa dolls from Palitoy (6 and ½ inch or 16.5 cm).

The text at the top of this thumbnail reads: "Dawn doll... a gallery of free doll clothes sewing patterns." Under this heading are a series of eight photos of a single Topper Dawn brunette doll modeling eight different doll clothes outfits, including a coat, a pair of shorts with a halter top, a long dress in an evening gown style, a short sleeved dress with pockets and a puffy skirt, a bolero jacket with evening gown, a mini skirt dress (miniskirt dress), a pair of pants with a T-shirt, and a pair of shorts with a short sleeved top or shirt.

I’ve recently added a Dawn doll to my collection, but I don’t actually own a Pippa doll yet, so I’m just going by other doll collectors’ suggestions, when I say that these patterns will likely fit Pippa.

For any Pippa doll collectors, I do have an A4 version of today’s free summer clothes patterns, but I don’t trust these until I get feedback from people who use A4 paper printers. Please leave feedback in the comments section, after you’ve tried to make today’s doll clothes. I need to know if your pattern is printing correctly across the pond!

A Dawn doll from Topper walks to the left of the photographer, modeling handmade doll clothes including a felt halter top and a pair of floral cotton shorts. She wears yellow moccasins that go with the yellow of her top. These doll clothes will fit Topper Dawn dolls, Palitoy's Pippa dolls, and similar 6 inch sized dolls.

To make today’s little halter top, you’ll need some craft felt and a bit of 1/4 inch (6 mm) wide bias tape. You’ll also need a few snaps, and I recommend size 4/0 Dritz snaps.

Your shorts will require some cotton small-print fabric or some solid cotton fabric, and a bit of 1/8 inch wide elastic for the waist. I recommend Elastic by the Yard for your narrow elastics. I’ve had a lot of success with their products.

When it comes to clipping the seams for your tiny shorts, Fiskars Stitchers’ scissors are fantastic for making tiny snips! With such tiny doll clothes, detail precision snips are super important. I also used a Dritz fabric pencil to mark the bias tape on the halter top’s collar.

A Topper Dawn doll is shown from slightly above, accentuating her tiny little six inch size. She wears a yellow halter top made of craft felt with a choker style collar made from yellow bias tape. Her shorts are made of blue cotton floral print fabric. She wears a pair of yellow plastic moccasins.

**Please note: this is the first time I’ve ever converted one of my patterns to A4 printer paper. I may not have the measurement tool just right, but I’d love some feedback! for those of you who use A4 paper, let me know whether or not the measurement tool is printing correctly. I’m almost 100% certain that the pattern is exactly identical in size to the one on American printer paper, but I’m not sure whether or not I’ve gotten my measurement tool to match. That’s what I need a little feedback for! Feel free to leave a comment…
