How to Make a Diaper for a Child’s Doll
- Cut two pieces of fabric. I used a soft flannel, in pink of course (in my daughter’s eyes there are no other colors). Place the pattern piece on the fold of the fabric.
These cloth diapers would be so cute made from a fun print. You could also choose to use a printed cotton for the outside and a plain flannel for the inside of the diaper.
- Stitch the two pieces right sides together. Leave about a 2-inch opening on the straight edge along the back for turning.
- Clip corners and curves.
- Turn the fabric right side out.
- Whip stitch opening closed.
- Sew the velcro on the inside of the back flaps and on the outside of the front. I am confusing you with the picture. Pretend it is flipped over.
NOTE: Actually, this is easy, just lay your diaper out and fold it up and you will see where the velcro goes. It is probably a good idea to try it on your doll to get the correct velcro placement.
These only take minutes, including the time it takes to re-thread the sewing machine needle when the thread breaks sewing the velcro on (does anyone have any tips for this)? My daughter aka “little mommy” will be in heaven with this gift!
Okay, this might seem like the craziest gift, but I tell you my little girl is going to adore a stack of these baby doll diapers. Really a diaper is the only ‘clothes’ our babies wear if any. I think I might cut some pieces of fabric so she can have diapers and wipes.

I made the mistake of buying my 20mo old a drink and wet doll for x-mas, and she lost the diaper that came with it. The replacement diapers are too expensive for how few you get and I don’t want to go out and buy preemie diapers. This pattern is perfect! I can whip out tons of these in no time and it won’t cost me an arm and a leg!
Thanks so much!!!
Hello. Great tutorial 🙂 I know these will fit a Bitty Baby sized doll but will it also work on a Baby Alive? My 4yo just recieved one and the way she will go through diapers with eating and drinking will be a lot 🙂

Thank you! It’s hard to find doll diapers, and expensive too! I buy old dolls in need of TLC and then fix them up and give them to the nieces. I got the idea to make the diapers, but wasn’t sure where to start.
I’m so making these for my granddaughters!!!
Note: you can make veloco a little longer on each side to adjust to babydoll size of sew velcro across the entire front piece.
Thanks so much for the pattern. I have been searching for these type of diapers in the stores. I bought some similiar for my daughter 15 yrs ago. Can no longer find them and was having a hard time trying to draw the pattern myself. These will make great gifts for my great nieces. They love the one that I saved from 15yrs ago. Lots better than wasting $ on the disposalable doll diapers (unless for a baby alive which has to be changed after eating!!)
Thanks so much for sharing and making it easy to give my granddaughter a homemade gift for her dolly.
Will this diaper fit a Lee Middleton Newborn Nursery doll (the kind you “adopt” from the nursery)? I think the doll is 19 inches long.
Many thanks!
Thank you for this pattern! Its inspired me to make a doll diaper bag and stock it with diapers, a wet bag, changing pad, and mini burp cloths. My girls are going to love these for Christmas. I’ve made the diapers already and they fit our Bitty Baby perfectly. I zig zag stitched the velcro on and didn’t have any trouble. I also turned and top stitched the whole thing rather than hand sew the opening and I think it turned out great! Thank you!
just what i was looking for. thanks.
Thanks for posting this! My daughter keeps asking me to make her doll more cloth diapers, but I have been so lazy to draw a template myself. Thanks for saving me time!
You’ve just made my day … and there will be a very happy little 6 year old on Christmas Day!
Off to find velcro…
