Preview of FREE #CurvyBarbie Shorts and Shirt #Patterns

Here’s a preview of the outfit I’ll be showing out how to make this week. The crop top is primarily designed to fit the new Curvy Barbie™ from Mattel’s Fashionista™ line. However, it can be altered to fit Lammily™, and my video will show you how to alter the pattern by creating cloth-covered buttons and embroidery floss loops that widen the top at the back:

I’ve also recently discovered that Curvy Barbie™ and the vintage Tammy Dolls from Ideal can swap clothes, so expect this whole shorts outfit to fit your Tammy Dolls as well.

So please check back with me later this week, to print my free patterns for a summer outfit that will fit Tammy dolls, Curvy Barbies™ and (with some alterations) Lammily™ dolls.

If you’re wondering why I make patterns and tutorials without charging a fee, please visit the “Chelly’s Books” page, and that should explain my general motivations. Overall, I love to sew, design doll clothes, and embroider, and I think it’s important to share my talents with the world, so others can learn to do what I do.
