Here’s everything you’ll need to make your Curvy doll a reversible shirt, maxi skirt, and matching purse:
- pattern for reversible shirt (free and printable)
- tutorial for making reversible shirt
- free skirt pattern
- tutorial for making the maxi-length skirt
- free fashion doll purse pattern
- tutorial for making the doll purse
Incidentally, these patterns can also fit regular-sized fashion dolls.
And that’s it for this week. Please show your appreciation for my free patterns and tutorials by liking them on Facebook, pinning them on Pinterest, and/or tweeting about them (yes, you have my permission). You’re also welcome to add any of my YouTube channel’s videos to your playlists. I just feel rewarded when people share my creations!

If you’re searching for a different pattern, have a look at the Gallery Page. That’s the easiest way to search through all of my patterns to find what you want. Each image on the Gallery Page takes you to links for patterns and tutorials.
Need help printing my patterns? This link will take you to a tutorial showing you how to download my free, printable patterns.
Please note: you must enlarge my patterns to fit a full-sized piece of American computer paper (8.5 x 11 inches or 216 x 279 mm) without margins, before printing. These designs use a 1/4 inch seam (standard for fashion doll sewing projects).
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.
In case you haven’t heard, I’ve 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.
I also have a series of tutorials for the beginning sewists on my YouTube channel. It includes video tutorials showing you how to do a basic straight stitch when sewing by hand, how to gather fabric, how to use the whipstitch to hem a garment, how to sew on snaps, and even how to design your own doll clothes patterns, just like I do!
You are talented! I like your tutorial, it’s clear and detailed. Every girl has a dream of becoming their own fashion designer. I think I can make my “personal design” for my Barbie doll.
