Make a pretty embroidered coat for 6 inch Topper Dawn or Palitoy Pippa dolls with today’s free patterns #Embroidery #TinyThings

A Topper Dawn doll with long straight dark brown or black hair and very long eyelashes models a handmade felt coat with embroidered 3/4 inch long sleeves and a floral lining. She wears a white shirt under the coat, but the shirt is barely visible under the coat's open front. The bottom of the front of the coat also has blue zigzag embroidered stitches running along the bottom of the front of the coat. The Dawn doll's pants are made of a matching light blue cotton that perfectly matches the blue felt of the coat, in a pale pastel blue shade. The pants have wide legs, like a 1970's style pair of pants. The doll is wearing silver plastic shoes.

As summer approaches in the northern hemisphere, winter arrives south of the equator, so today’s blog post is for everyone living in the southern hemisphere of our world!

You may remember a lovely winter coat that I’ve posted here, on ChellyWood.com, in the past. I’ve posted this one (with its tiny embroidered flowers) under Anna and Elsa mini toddler dolls, as well as the vintage Kenner Strawberry Shortcake dolls.

In this photo, a pink felt jacket is slightly open at the front, so you can see its cotton lining. At the bottom of the front of this jacket, a tiny rose has been embroidered on both sides of the jacket's opening. Closer to the side seams, tiny chrysanthemum like flower has been embroidered. Each tiny flower has light green leaves embroidered around it.

But I recently made a similar one out of blue felt with a floral cotton lining, using a simple fly stitch at the bottom of each sleeve and along the bottom of the jacket or coat as well.

I posted the fly stitch video tutorial just yesterday, so you can easily go back to it to refresh your memory, on how that stitch works. But if you’d rather do a different stitch on your jacket or coat for six inch dolls, please feel free to browse through my embroidery tutorial gallery.

Here we see three Topper Dawn dolls in a row, each wearing a coat, shirt, and pants, with silver plastic shoes on. They stand facing right, facing center, and facing left, so you can see that the coat has a three-quarter length sleeve, and the pants are quite long.

Maybe you really like the look of the lined coat, but you don’t want to do any embroidery. That’s perfectly fine. You can just skip the embroidery and create a lined jacket with no added details.

As you can see on my Topper Dawn doll, this coat or jacket pattern has three-quarter length sleeves for dolls in her size range, so if you want longer sleeves, you will need to make some alterations. After the bulleted section below, you can learn about the class I offer in doll clothes pattern alteration, if that idea appeals to you.

A Dawn doll from Topper Toys models a coat (made of felt with tiny embroidered zigzags along the bottom of each three-quarter length sleeve and along the bottom of the coat itself. She also wears pants with wide legs that match the felt coat. The felt coat is lined with a cotton floral print. The shirt underneath the coat is white.

To make today’s embroidered, lined, felt jacket for little six-inch dolls like Topper Dawn and Pippa, you’ll need embroidery floss, embroidery needles (Clover is a good brand), cotton fabric, and a swatch of craft felt.

Here’s the same fly-stitch embroidered coat on my 6-inch I Dream of Jeannie doll. If you want one of the little teeny-tiny stocking caps, like the one she’s wearing, please visit my online store. I have a bunch of them, in a variety of colors, for sale.

Here we see a tiny I dream of Jeannie doll from Remco holding up her hand. She wears a felt jacket and a tiny knitted stocking cap. The doll's face is meant to look like the actress, Barbara Eden, who played Jeannie on the I Dream of Jeannie television show from 1965 to 1970. The doll is wearing a felt jacket that has tiny little hand-embroidered borders. The fly stitch was used to embroider this little jacket or winter coat. The coat, in this close-up photo, appears to have a floral lining that matches the blue dress the doll wears under the coat. There are white arrows pointing out the tiny hand embroidered stitchery along the coat's cuffs and the very bottom of the jacket. This is part of a blog post article that asks the question, "Can Palitoy Pippa dolls and Topper Dawn dolls swap clothes with a Remco I Dream of Jeannie doll?" This blog post asks this question because Chelly Wood (the writer, YouTuber, and doll clothing designer) has created some sewing patterns that will fit her I dream of Jeannie 6 inch fashion doll, and she wants to know if her free doll clothes patterns will also fit Pippa and Dawn dolls.

The arrows, in the image above, show where I’ve created a row of fly stitches, so you can get a feel for the embroidery pattern as you work on your project.
