Use the free pattern, fleece and velcro and the imaginative fun and role playing can begin! #dolldiaper #diydolldiaper #dolldiaperpattern #dollclothesI started sewing regularly around the time my daughter was born, 12 years ago, and for years most of what I sewed was for her, between reusable cloth diapers and wipes, bibs, bassinet and crib bedding, toys, and so on. I also sewed all sorts of accessories for her favorite toys, and one of the absolutely most successful also happened to be one of the easiest: DIY doll diapers! (Once I also designed an even smaller diaper with a tail hole for her beloved stuffed monkey!)

You really can’t get much easier than this because fleece doesn’t fray, so all you have to do is cut out the shape and sew on the velcro. Fleece is also stretchy so that, plus the adjustable velcro closure, makes for a perfect fit pretty much every time. For example, I can pull it tight around this skinnier doll…

My free pattern will fit most standard sized dolls, so this is perfect to sew up as a gift, when you don’t have a doll to measure. And don’t think that these diapers are only for baby dolls! Ours have been used on pretty much all of my children’s toys!

Shall we make some DIY doll diapers? Let’s get started!

  • 11 x 14″/ 27 x 35 cm (height x width) fleece
  • 1 piece of sewable velcro loop 7¾” (20 cm) long
  • 2 pieces of sewable velcro hook 1½” (4 cm) long each
  • polyester thread

Feel free to use other fabrics, however you will get the best results with fleece, which is stretchy and non-fraying, helping it fit without elastic.

I used the same 1″ (2.5 cm) wide touch tape velcro that I used to use for sewing cloth diapers, but feel free to use a different type and/or width.

(Measure the test square to make sure that it is the right size.) Cut off the right margin of page 1 and tape the pages together so that the lines and black triangles match up as seen above. Cut the pattern out along the line, and you’re ready to start creating!

Fold the fleece and pin the pattern on the fold. Make sure that the arrow at the top of the pattern goes in the stretchiest direction of the fabric. Cut the fabric around the pattern.

Pin the long loop velcro strip to the right side of the fabric (what will be the diaper outside) along the shorter straight edge. Then pin the two short hook velcro strips to the wrong side of the fabric (what will be the inside of the diaper) at the ends of the longer straight edge, as seen above.

Sew around the edges of the velcro with a zig zag stitch. I used a 3.0 stitch width and 1.5 stitch length.

And that’s it!

  1. Having hugged many a tree, the major complaint I know is that my clothes were sappy. Now with your help, my clothing choices will no longer be sappy. hahaha, I don’t hang around those complainers anymore.

    I hope you caught my tongue-in-cheek, for I don’t dare try that again or I might bite it off.

    Peace to you, and all your projects, and living your adventures.

  4. This Black doll is HORRIBLY offensive!! You have a regular appearing white doll, and to be inclusive you’ve used this muppet type stuffed toy to represent a Black baby????

    • I’m truly sorry if you have taken offense because I assure you that I most definitely didn’t have any such intentions. I actually have never purchased a doll for my children and these were both gifts or hand-me-downs. The black doll was from Ikea and there was also a blonde doll and an Asian one, too, in this line in exactly the same style, so the black one is definitely not meant to be in any way “inferior” to the others. However I really do apologize for the misunderstanding.

      • Thanks for the source information on the adorable, cuddly looking black doll. I was going to ask about the pattern so I could sew a doll that style. If it was purchased from Ikea, then I will have to keep looking.
