Scroll down to the third set of bullets for the free PDF sewing patterns.
Once again, I’m adding another little outfit to my collection of Uneeda Wendy doll clothes sewing patterns, but as I’ve said before, if it fits Wendy, it will probably fit your ponytail Barbie (or your modern Barbie) as well.
And at the risk of sounding repetitious, remember that I’ve got the measurements for Uneeda Wendy on my Tape Measure Tuesday page, so you can compare her body measurements to your own fashion doll, to help you decide whether or not these clothes will fit.

Today’s free doll clothes patterns will help you make a tee shirt and a pair of cotton capris for your doll.
However, please note that the tutorial video for making the capris says it’s for a pair of capri-style pajama pants. If you choose to use regular cotton fabric instead of flannel, though, you’ll be able to make a pair of play-day-style capris, like you see my Uneeda Wendy wearing in these photos.
So too make today’s doll clothing, you will likely need one of the following items:
- cotton fabric (both solids and prints) on Etsy
- jersey fabrics on Etsy
- Gondola Snaps on Etsy (various sizes)
- chopsticks (for inverting doll clothes)
- Dritz fabric pencil
- Fiskars Stitchers mini snips (for clipping seams efficiently)
- Gutermann sewing machine thread
This list comes from my “Buyer’s Guide” page, which is easily accessed from the home page.
And if you’re interested in using earth-friendly fabrics, please consider buying your fabric from FabScrap. FabScrap is a fabric recycle and reuse service, where you can buy fabrics that would otherwise go into landfills! Watch my FabScrap unboxing video to see what kinds of fabrics they sent me!

Liv dolls were products designed and distributed by the Spin Master company, which still makes dolls and toys today (although the Liv dolls are no longer in production at the time of this blog post). The Spin Master company held the trademark for the Liv Dolls (™). Please visit the Spin Master Toys and Games website to learn more about their company and its trademarked toys and games. Please be aware that the Chelly Wood animated doll is a Spin Master Liv doll that has been re-painted and had its wig colored to appear to look like the real doll clothing designer, Chelly Wood. This was done as a creative project by Chelly’s daughters, and the Spin Master Toys and Games company was not involved in the doll’s makeover in any way.
Disney Princess dolls are products offered by the Disney corporation, which holds the trademark for them (™). Please visit the Disney Toys website to learn more about their company and its trademarked toys.
Uneeda Wendy dolls were once made by Uneeda Toys, and while their website still offers some amazing and wonderful dolls, the Uneeda Wendy doll is no longer in production.
Sindy dolls were originally created by Pedigree Dolls & Toys, but they have been made by other manufacturers including Hasbro, Vivid Imaginations, and New Moon. Currently (at the time of this blog post) a limited number of the newest version of these dolls is being manufactured by Kid Kreations of Staffordshire, England. I haven’t tried my doll clothes on this newer version, but sewists have told me my Tammy doll patterns do fit the vintage Sindy dolls created by Pedigree Dolls & Toys. Please visit one of these toy companies’ websites to learn more about the toys they produce. The Sindy dolls are trademarked and as such, it should be noted that Chelly Wood and ChellyWood.com are not affiliated with either Pedigree or Kid Creations. However Chelly has enjoyed designing doll clothes that will fit these dolls along with others in a similar size range…
