Here’s a quick preview of what we’ll be working on for the rest of this week. I’m going to teach you how to make a super-easy jacket for tiny dolls like Mattel’s Chelsea® and similar-sized dolls, using my free jacket pattern (posting tomorrow). Some of these “small dolls” are taller than others, as you’ll see in my videos, so on Friday, I’ll show you how to easily alter the felt jacket pattern to fit the doll you’re working with.

An alteration is an adjustment to a garment that usually makes the garment fit or look better. Adding lace can be an alteration. Adding or removing sleeves can be an alteration.

But what if the jacket you make looks a little too big on your tiny doll? Friday’s post will show you how simple it is to make alterations to a felt jacket that has been designed to fit small dolls.

These week’s posts are a continuation of my “Easy-Sew Projects for Kids” series. To see the other videos in this beginners’ sewing series, please visit my YouTube Channel, ChellyWood1.

If you haven’t seen it yet, you might want to check out my new Gallery Page, where you can pick an outfit for a doll, click on that picture, and the link in the caption will take you to all the free, printable patterns and free tutorials you’ll need to make that outfit.

If you’re wondering why I make patterns and videos without charging a fee, please visit the “Chelly’s Books” page, and that should explain my general motivations.

And in case you haven’t heard, I have also designed commercial patterns for Lammily LLC. They have some new dolls in their line, including a new male doll, so you might want to visit the Lammily website to see what they’ve got going on.
