Sewing a wardrobe for Dolly

Pinterest Challenge

Dolly (pronounced doll lee) has been hanging around the "crib" in just a pair of polka dot panties for quite some time now. Come to think of it, she was only wearing panties and some sort of bathrobe when we found her.  At any rate, no one - not even a $5.99 doll from Sam's Club -  should have to walk around in just a panty when I have tons of scrap fabric all over this place. The Pinspiration for this project came from one of my favorite blogs, Made. Dana did an amazing job creating a wardrobe for Twinkies. Here is mine:


Don't tell Grace, but Dolly is the best model ever. She is a professional, she takes direction well, she doesn't make outrageous demands for your iphone and she would never storm off set because she was "all done" taking photographs for the day.







I'm happy I included this project in my Pinterest Challenge. Its brought back so many childhood memories for me. Making doll clothes out of the scraps of fabric I would find on the sewing room floor, was my favorite thing to do as a child.

  1. We have a dolly cavorting around our house in a flannel diaper! My 18 month old granddaughter loves her dolly, but is in need of a new wardrobe for her. What patterns did you use? Your little outfits are adorable, and your dolly looks to be about the same size as ours. Thanks for sharing!

    1. It's a self drafted pattern. Dolly is shaped more like a brick than a brick house. 10-10-10. Lol. Thanks for stopping by

  2. These are so cute!!!! We have a very similar dolly that sports only panties and a little nighty top so I'd say she's in dire need of clothes. Guess I better put this on my to do list! The photos look great, btw!
