I enjoy sewing my own doll clothes because they’re quick and easy to sew, don’t require much fabric, and are great stash-busters. Plus, pattern-drafting for doll clothes is fairly simple thanks to dolls’ general lack of curves and the similar dimensions between brands.

That said, I exhausted most of the patterns from my doll clothes pattern books, my Simplicity sewing patterns, and my self-drafted patterns collection when I was sewing doll clothes for my older daughter.

I needed new wardrobe ideas, so I started looking for free doll clothes patterns to sew and assembled this master list!

(Note: I tried to include patterns for all doll sizes. If you want clothes for Barbie dolls, I have a complete list of free Barbie doll clothes patterns to sew.) 

Free Printable Doll Clothes Patterns to Sew

I’ve split this huge list by type of clothes, so just scroll around to find what you’re looking for!

Standard dimensions for dolls are as follows:

• 5″-7″ dolls: American Girl Mini, Disney Mini, Stacie Dolls, Dawn Dolls
• 9″-12″ dolls: Barbie Dolls, Monster High Dolls, Moxie Girls, Bratz Dolls, Liv Dolls, DC Super Hero Girls Dolls, Disney Princess Fashion Dolls, L.O.L Surprise, Rainbow High, Ever After High, Skipper Dolls generic plastic fashion dolls
• 13″-16″ dolls: Bitty Baby Dolls, WellieWishers, Baby Alive Dolls, Cabbage Patch Kids, Heba Dolls
• 17″-19″ dolls: American Girl, Australian Girl, Our Generation, Crissy Dolls, Cabbage Patch Kids, Baby Born, Journey Girls, My Life As Dolls, KidKraft Dolls, Maplelea Girls 

Generally, picking patterns within an inch or two of your doll’s size will work for your doll if you can’t find the perfect pattern.
