| This tiny baby doll is filled with plastic pellets and he is the perfect size for an 18" American Girl doll to carry about and play with as a younger sibling. He wears Summer sleeveless pajamas to feel cool but cozy while he sleeps! |
This doll is so small, 8 1/2", that you only need a few scraps of fabric to make a pair of pajamas for him. The seam for a tiny doll like this one is quite narrow, 1/8", so if you are worried about working with something so narrow and fraying it in the process, elect to use a fabric like felt or fleece so that you won't need to finish the edges. Felt or fleece does not need to be turned under, it may be finished with ribbon instead.
Sewing Instructions:
- Cut the pattern out below.
- Clip apart the shoulder seams at the top of the pattern between the dotted lines very carefully.
- Trace around it with a soft pencil or piece of chalk.
- Cut the one piece footed pajamas out.
- With the right sides faced together, fold the cut fabric under the arm holes, matching up the footed parts and pin into place.
- Sew one continuous straight stitch from underneath one arm hole all the way around to it's opposite arm hole.
- then sew together the shoulder seams.
- Turn the pajamas right sides out and turn under the sleeveless arm holes and collar to finish these.
- Now add some trims: a bow and tiny pointed collar if you like. I also cut felt pads for the footed parts and embroidered these on. Any trims are merely optional and decorative.
- Lastly, attach a snap up at the top of the back collar. If you prefer use Velcro instead.
