Cabbage Patch Kids Sleepwear Patterns - Wrap Dress, Jumpsuit, Shirt and Shorts

I finally got my latest patterns finished! It took so long, due to so many interruptions and the fact that this has a total of 9 (nine) outfits (3 for each size.)  The pattern has 45 pages of just the pattern pieces.  The instructions are 16 pages.  I highly recommend purchasing the digital version since it has so many pages.  

Available on Etsy and eBay.

Introduction

This sleepwear is so sweet and easy to make!  Pattern includes three sizes: 14”, 16”, and 20” Cabbage Patch Kids. The wrap shirt and shorts, and jumpsuit can be made for a boy or a girl doll.  Clothing is loose fitting and has Velcro fasteners so it will be easy for small children to dress their baby doll.  You can of course change it up by using snaps or buttons.  Jumpsuit has front closing, elasticized wrists and ankles, and purchased appliqué.  Top has front closing and binding.  Shorts have elasticized waist and legs.  Wrap dress has front opening and purchased trim.  Panties have elasticized waist and leg edges forming self ruffles.  Bonnet has ribbon ties.  Shoes have purchased ribbon bows.

Where to Buy

For the Jumpsuit, I purchased Stretch Terry from ohSEWcuddly on Etsy.  I purchased a yard and was able to make one of each size with a little left over.  I purchased the appliques on eBay from Patch Parlor (patchparlor.com).  They have a TON of patches to choose from with very low prices.  I made the bias tape myself using white Kona quilt solid fabric from Joann's Fabric and 18mm bias tape maker.  I used clear buttons I had on hand (purchased at Joann's).

For the Shirt and Shorts, I purchased Knit fabric from BBSproutsFabric on Etsy.  I purchased a yard and was able to make one of each size with about a half a yard left over.  I made the bias tape myself using white Kona quilt solid fabric from Joann's Fabric and 12mm bias tape maker.  I used clear buttons I had on hand (purchased at Joann's).

For the Dress, Panties, Bonnet, and Shoes, I purchased cotton fabric (Keepsake Calico) from Joann's Fabric.  I used vintage baby rickrack and used a braiding foot to stitch it on.  I used navy blue buttons (purchased at Joann's) I had on hand.
