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 3 of these the other day and my 3 year old loves them!!! Thanks for the tutorial.
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!
Thank you for this!! I’ve been meaning to make some doll diapers and just haven’t gotten around to it. Now I am inspired! I just found this site and like it already. Thanks again for the pattern and tutorial. 🙂
Cute cute! I’m gonna try these!
oooh! i know 3 little girls that will be getting a basket of these for christmas!
Thanks for the tutorial! My girls will love this.
How adorable!
What a great idea!

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.
I’m planning on making several baby doll diapers for O for Christmas, so thanks for the tutorial!
Yeah! Thank you so much!
not crazy at all. I have often thought about whipping up one of these… thanks for doing the thinking part for me! LOL
Love it! Thanks.
Ha – we’ve been using the newborn diapers that come in the mail – but these are super cute! Will definitely have to give it a try!
