T-Shirts are easy and fun. I sew doll t-shirts and leggings with cotton jersey knit fabric. It’s a very forgiving fabric and very soft.

Although a ballpoint needle is recommended for sewing knit fabrics, I don’t think it is entirely necessary for doll clothes. Dolls don’t move and put stress on the seams.

All seams are sewn with a zig-zag stitch. The standard zig-zag on the machine is too big. Adjust so it is a smaller, shallower zig.

Cut out your five pieces.

Sew the shoulder seams.

Sew the sleeves in. You may need to stretch the fabric slightly for them toi fit. That’s the beauty of knits, that you can do this to get everything to fit togther.

Hem the neckline and sleeves.

Sew the side seams.

To close the back, I generally use snaps, but velcro is fine, as long as the doll does not have yarn hair.
