How to make a diaper for a child's doll

Posted by Cindy · September 19, 2008 · Last Updated: May 23, 2016

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.

These are very easy to make, but if you want a simple pattern so you don’t have to spend time figuring it out you may download the

Baby Doll Diaper Pattern

Instructions for making 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).

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 velcro on the inside of the back flaps and on the outside of the front. I am confusing the you with the picture. Pretend it is flipped over. 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

I’m off to think of some ideas for the boys!

Does this diaper fit a Bitty Baby?
I don't have the dolls I'm sewing for nearby to test the fit or velcro placement .
Thanks!

I have made one diaper , based on your pattern. Going to how it fits a Baby Alive doll. The only thing I skipped is the hand sewing. Instead, I pressed the turning opening seam allowenses in and top stitched around the diaper. My grand daughter is going to love these new diapers.

Hi! Thanks for the DIY. I'm a big fan of dolls and I'm recently collecting them. Seeing that you do DIY's, I was wondering if you could do a DIY on baby doll swimsuits. I've looked everywhere online for a no sew, no glue, waterproof doll swimsuit. I can't seem to find one anywhere! If you could help me that would be great. 😃 Thank you!

To sew the sticky side of Velcro on, I cover it with a thin tissue paper and just pull paper away after sewing. It worked good for me.

To sew velcro, place a bit of wax paper over the velcro and then sew through it. The paper peels off and you won't break or snag the thread as you sew. Just wax paper that you buy at the store. I suppose tracing paper would work as well...as long as you can see through it to sew.

Great pattern. Thanks so much

I am going to try this but add PUL fabric (polyurethane laminated fabric)so it will be water proof because my oldest has a doll that actually wets, plus then they will look more like her baby sister's cloth diapers.

Our eight year old neice made her first communion last may and we gave her an 18 inch first communion doll that had the white tights with her dress.the neices parish requires the girls to wear a white cloth diaper and rubberpants under their tights so i made a cloth diaper out of regular diaper material and pinned it on the doll,then i found a pair of white new born size rubberpants and put it on the doll over the diaper then the tights over them.the rubberpants bunched up under the tights just like the neices rubberpants fit her.she was thrilled to get the doll!

Thank you! My daughter got a Baby Alive & I refuse to pay for disposable diapers for a DOLL! (preemie size baby diapers do work & are cheaper for anyone who reads this) I was just going to make my own template but Googled & found your site. Not only will I save money & feel better about the environment but they'll be cuter to boot! (my daughter already picked out purple flannel w/ butterflies)

I am adding about an inch to the top & bottom of your template to more closely match the diaper that came with the doll - my paper towel version seems to fit her well. I'll also add a batting strip in the middle between the layers to make it more absorbent - paired with a pair of rubber pants (newborn size with the leg holes tacked in tighter), I think it'll work.

Thanks again. I'll be back, I'm sure.

Thanks for the pattern! After trying them out, it was nice to see that the pattern works for both my daughter's cabbage patch doll and her smaller dolls. I did put a strip of velcro across the whole front of the diapers though so they could adjust easier between the different sizes of dolls. Thanks again!

I saw this pattern a long time ago and knew that I needed to make it for my girls. Well needless to say a few years later I got around to doing it. I used minky fabric that was in my scrap bin. I only did 1 side instead of 2 sided. I even shrunk the pattern a bit for the smaller dolls. It worked for the cabbage patch so I was really happy :)

As for the Velcro....I do a lot of sewing and I found that you need to just make sure you have a new (sharp) needle in the machine and it should sew the Velcro with no problem. I had that same problem with the thread breaking over and over again until I figured out I had a dull needle in the machine. Thanks again!

Use a Titanium needle and a teflon foot to slide easier. Put the loop side up toward the foot. I've never had any problems sewing on velcro and I don't know why but I only but the sew on type not the stuff with glue on it.

An excellent pattern. Love your simple instructions. I've made scores of real diapers and too many stage costumes to count. On the Velcro - buy heavy duty synthetic (nylon, polyester, viscose) thread and sew it on by hand. Yeah, I know. Shock and horror... I bought a machine so I wouldn't have to do this stuff by hand! but even with my heavy-duty machine, most velcro is simply too thick, too stiff, and the hook side of the tape is a nightmare. You'll need a sturdy needle and a thimble. But given how many times it'll take you to unsnarl your machine thread, it's about the same investment of time.

If you have a LOT of velcro-type closures to do, it's worth your time and money to order Aplix brand hook and loop, which is slightly kinder to the machine and also outperforms Velcro on things that get opened and closed a bazillion times a day. :)

I just made a couple of these! Very easy! I did decide to put the velcro on first before sewing together so if my velcro got messed up, it didn't look bad on the reverse. I also sewed a velcro strip so it can fit all our various babies. After turning, I top stitched all around to close the hole and give it a nice finish. I even appliqued some elmo faces on one for my son to match his own underwear. 2 thumbs from my kids!

This is a great idea! We have some like that at home. We actually cloth diaper the real kids, too, and as for a suggestion about the velcro...why not try snaps! You can use one of those hand-held snap presses from the fabric store and add some metal snaps. Or, you can add resin snaps - these kind are on cloth diapers. The resin snaps are much cheaper and super good quality but might be a little hard for little fingers to unsnap. We prefer snaps on our cloth diapers over the velcro. :)

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!

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!

These are so cute. Thank you so much for the pattern! I have made 4 of them so far: 2 each for my 2 daughters, a blue and pink one for each girl. I had flannel scraps that were perfect. Thank you so much for all your patterns and links! I have made several things but hadn't commented before, and I wanted to rectify that. I appreciate you!

Thanks so much for the cute tutorial! I just started making some dolls for my nieces for Christmas, so this will come in handy. As for the velcro sewing dilemma, Velcro sells a heat-activated adhesive version called FabricFusion. You just iron it on and it bonds permenently! Better than sliced bread if you ask me!

This is a great idea. It reminds me of a gift that my grandmother gave to my little girls (her great-grandchildren). She has a lot of grandchildren and great-grandchildren so she must be creative and frugal with her gift-giving. One year she bought terry-cloth (I think she got it by the yard but you could also use cheap bath towels) and cut them in to little rectangles and smaller squares-they were baby doll bath towels and washclothes. My girls LOVED that these were REAL towels for their babies and I loved that my grandma was thoughtful enough to think of a gift for my girls, no matter how small.

Faced with a toddler who kept wanting me to change invisible diapers on stuffed animals, and then claiming I hadn't done it, I made stuffed animal diapers out of polarfleece (cut shape, sew on velcro, hand to child). Voila! Diapers that are different colors so you can prove you've changed them.
