Dollies Diaper

Even dolls can be environmentally friendly! Sew these quick and easy diapers – perfect for your dollies and an excellent scrap buster.

Our Facebook group is a great place to get help, share your tips and creations! We are a friendly bunch, and we love to help and see what you have made.

Please read the full instructions before getting started.

Wash, dry, and press your fabric before starting your project. A bit of prep now prevents shrinking and means your garment will stay the same size you made it.

Never leave a child or baby unattended or allow to sleep in a garment made from one of our patterns with ties, snaps, buttons, or anything they could remove, choke on, or get caught on. Always use caution if you are unsure. We love our patterns, but we love your bundles of joy more!

Size Range

18 in Dolls

You will need a woven or non-stretch fabric. Cotton, quilting cotton, denim, or cotton lawn would work. 

You will also need:

• ⅜ inch wide Elastic – you will need 2x 4-inch long pieces
• Velcro (also called Hook & Loop tape) – approximately 4 inches / 10 cm will be sufficient
• Thread to match

Tools needed are a sewing machine (or you could do it by hand), needle, scissors and pins.

Settings

The pattern is a separate download. Choose either the US letter paper, A4 paper, or A0 paper size based on the printer you wish to use. If you are in the US or Canada then your printer will likely use US letter paper. Other regions normally use A4 paper. Some people prefer to print their patterns at a print shop: A0 is best in this case.

Print at 100%.

On the second page, you will find a 1-inch and a 3-inch square test box. Print this page first, on its own, and measure these squares.

Once you are happy that the test box is accurate, print the rest of the pattern pages.

Please follow this video for information and assistance on assembling this pattern.

Also, please note that some Rebecca Page patterns and projects also come with cut files and a printable design page which you can use to plan your project if you wish. These are provided in a separate section below to avoid any confusion!

Cut each of the pieces according to the directions on the pattern piece. Seam allowances are all included so just cut them as is.

Cutting Charts – All pattern pieces are included, however if you prefer to cut using a cutting chart, the dimensions for the rectangular pieces (in INCHES) are below:

Cutting Checklist: 

• Front and Back – Fabric cut 2 on fold

NOTE – To cut fabric on the fold, fold your fabric over parallel to the selvage edges. Align the pattern piece so it is on the fold of the fabric. Cut around the edges, leaving the fold. If you have folded your fabric correctly the fold will be parallel to the two edges of the fabric that are finished. The raw edges (e.g. the ones you could pick at and threads would come off) will be at a right angle to your fold.

¼ inch seam allowance

Preparation –

1. PATTERN MARKINGS – Transfer all pattern markings.

Sewing –

1. FRONT AND BACK – Stitch the Front and Back right sides together, leaving a 1 inch gap along the top edge.
2. ELASTIC – Place elastic at the pattern markings. Stitch. Repeat to attach the second piece of elastic to the opposite side.
3. FINISHING – Turn right side and press. Topstitch around outer edges, stitching a larger seam allowance around the elastic. Stitch Velcro in place.

Congratulations, your Dollies Diaper Bag is done. Enjoy!
