Welcome back to Doll Sewing 101: Start with the Basics! In Episode 4, we are sewing a cute and simple bandanna for dolls.

This is a beginner-friendly sewing project that is perfect for 14-inch, 14.5-inch, and 18-inch dolls. It is also a wonderful project for using small fabric scraps, leftover cotton fabric, or fat quarters.

A doll bandanna is such a fun little accessory. It can completely change the look of a doll outfit and adds a sweet handmade detail. You can make it with floral fabric, gingham, solid cotton, tiny prints, or even fabric left over from another doll outfit.

If you are just starting to sew doll clothes, this is a great project to practice folding, pressing, topstitching, and sewing small pieces.
