A couple of weeks ago I gave you a pattern and sewing tutorial, so you could make the little white shirt you see pictured in the images above and below.

On Tuesday this week, I re-posted my fly stitch embroidery tutorial, and then on Wednesday, I posted the pattern and tutorial for making the winter coat you see my Topper Dawn doll wearing in the image below.

(In case you didn’t read that blog post, it’s winter in the southern hemisphere, so a fuzzy felt coat is absolutely a great idea for this time of year!)

Now you’ll notice that the coat’s sleeves are only three-quarter length sleeves on my Topper Dawn doll, and I suppose you’ll find that’s true for Pippa and other similarly-proportioned fashion dolls in the six inch size range, so please keep that in mind.

But if you’d like to lengthen those sleeves but you don’t know how to do that, scroll down to the bottom of the page, where I talk about my “How to Alter Doll Clothes Patterns” course.

Finally, on Thursday this week, I posted a free pattern and a new tutorial for making the wide-leg pants that you see in the image above.

To make today’s tiny pair of pants for 6 inch fashion dolls, you’ll need some cotton fabric. You’ll also need some 1/8 inch wide elastic. I use Elastic By the Yard, and I’ve had a lot of success with this brand.

For the shirt, you’ll also need some cotton fabric. In addition to that, I recommend using some size 4/0 snaps, the smallest size of snaps you can find, to close the back of the doll’s shirt.

Lastly, the coat or jacket will require a number of items as well. 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.

 

In my tutorial videos, I also mentioned Fiskars Snips (or Fiskars Stitchers), which are the best type of scissors to use for clipping teeny tiny seams. I love mine — especially when I’m making the tiniest doll clothes! They are a must-have item!
