Free pattern: 18″ Doll nightgown, make one from a dollar store blanket

December 12, 2014 by Anne Weaver

Free pattern: Doll nightgown, make one from a dollar store blanket

Free pattern: Doll nightgown, make one from a dollar store blanket

Joy from xoxo Grandma has a fantastic pattern for a nightgown that you can make for an American Girl or other 18″ dolls. The best part about this project is that you can use a fleece blanket from the dollar store as the fabric! This is a great way to upcycle an old blanket into something new and useful. The nightgown will be soft and cozy for your doll to wear, making it the perfect addition to their bedtime routine.

Not only is this project affordable, but it’s also easy to customize to fit your personal style. If you don’t have a fleece blanket on hand, you can use flannel or lightweight fleece yardage instead. And if you have scraps of fabric lying around, you can use those too if they’re big enough. The possibilities are endless!

Making a nightgown for a doll is a fun and easy project that’s perfect for beginner sewers. With Joy’s pattern and tutorial, you’ll have a completed nightgown in no time. And if you’re looking for an even bigger challenge, you can make a nightgown for your daughter to match her doll’s!

This project is a great way to spend a lazy afternoon, and the end result will be a cute and practical nightgown that your doll will love. So, grab your fabric and get started on this fun and easy project today! Click below for Joy’s free pattern and tutorial.

    Thank you so very much for making this pattern and allowing me to download it. I found your pattern on Pinterest.

30 Jumpsuits You Can Sew Yourself – From Effortless Weekend Wear to Showstopping Styles

Let’s talk about the magic of jumpsuits.

One piece. Endless style. Zero outfit math.

Whether you’re living in your sewing studio or just dipping your toes into garment-making, there’s a jumpsuit pattern out there with your name on it. Think about it:

• Instant outfit (no more staring at your closet at 8am)

• Custom-fit perfection (goodbye gaping backs and too-long straps!)

That’s why we’ve hunted down 30 incredible jumpsuit patterns – from easy-breezy weekend rompers to sleek, tailored styles that’ll make you feel like a fashion designer. And the best part? Many of these are absolutely FREE.
