This pattern is for shirts for 8 inch (20cm) mini baby dolls, such as Gotz Mini Muffin, Corolle Mini Calin, and similar baby dolls. For clothes to fit 18 inch American Girl, Corolle, and other historical dolls click here.
This pattern is my original design and may not be used commercially.
I have made the .jpg images to the true size of the pattern. But if they do not print out with 1 inch squares, then here are directions to make your own graph paper, to then transfer the patterns. I recommend first trying to open this page in the print friendly version and then printing out to save yourself some time and effort.
To make your 1 inch square (2.5cm) grid graph paper
First, take an 8.5x11 inch piece of plain paper and draw 1 inch squares - I do this by drawing horizontal lines 1 inch apart down the page, and then vertical lines 1 inch apart across the page.
Next, looking at the .jpg image you want to enlarge, copy what is in each of my squares into your larger squares.
Seam allowances of one quarter inch are included.

Shirt Notes
Because this is such a small doll you do not need much material to make the shirt. A 10 inch by 14 inch piece of material will be sufficient to make one shirt with the facing of the same material.
If you wish to make your mini baby doll either a boy or girl doll in particular, then choose the wardrobe material accordingly.
This is an extra easy pattern with no type of closure needed for the neck opening.
To dress your doll, first put the shirt over the head, then insert one arm, then the other. It is a loose fit for a casual look.
