So now that many of you have purchased your copy of the Everyday Playdress, your daughters may be asking for their dolls to have their own dress too. And now they can– for FREE!
This is a simple and quick sew.
No serger needed, in fact when I did this tutorial I only used my sewing machine. Use whatever you’re comfortable with. See the listed supplies below to get the free doll dress pattern. You will download this pattern to your computer and print it out right at home. This doll dress pattern prints out on three 8.5″ x 11″ sheets of paper.
Supplies:
- Approx. 1/4yd fabric. I recommend knit but since this dress closes in the back you could use wovens. You will need to finish your seams differently than I am showing here though. Knits don’t fray so I’ve chosen to just stitch down instead of coverstitching or serging and stitching.
- 2″ of velcro
- Thread, scissors, pins, iron
- Everyday Playdress Doll pattern
The back is fastened with hook and loop to make dressing super easy for little hands.
Be sure to sew up your daughter a matching dress!

I am completely distracted by the gorgeous floral knit. The dress is really really cute but that floral fabric is amazing!! Must have some!!!! Where did you get it!
And the tute is great. We love 18″ doll dresses to match big girl dresses, in my house
Thanks Kathy. That floral fabric is an overrun from the LA district. I believe it was from Lili Paris or Tralala. It was from at least 5 years ago.
Sew sweet — thanks so much!!! 😉
