Today what I have for you is an A-line top free PDF printable sewing pattern for an 18-inch doll. It's so simple and easy that even a beginner can make it.
Seam allowances:
Seam allowances are included in the pattern, which is 0.25 inch at the neckline, shoulder, and armhole, 0.75 inch at the hemline, and 0.50 inch at the side seams.
How to print?
This is a two-page pdf file.
Print the page on an A4 paper. Make sure you have set page sizing to "Actual size" before you print the pattern.
You can measure the 1 inch x 1 inch square in the pattern page to check whether the page has printed correctly.

Suggested fabrics and fabric measurements:
A 9 x 15-inch (23 x 38-cm) fabric or a 17.5 x 7-inch (45 x 18-cm) fabric is enough to make this 18-inch doll top. This is how the front and back pieces will look like after they are cut out from the fabric.
You can use a variety of fabrics to make this top, such as quilting cotton, gingham, linen, seersucker, etc. If you are going to use these fabrics, you may have to make a 3.5-long slit at the center back to increase the neckline measure and attach a continuous bound placket, so that the top can be easily pulled over the doll's head. You may also need bias strips to finish the armholes.
If you are going to use a knit fabric, since it's stretchy, a 2-inch slit at the back is enough. You may need a facing fabric and a loop and button for closure.
Happy sewing!
