This is my “Renaissance Pants” pattern for fashion dolls, and it’s #9 on my list of the “Top 15 Downloaded Patterns from ChellyWood.com.”

At first, it surprised me to discover that this old pattern is still in the top 10 for downloads on my website, because it’s one of the earliest patterns I made (and frankly, the video tutorial that goes with it is not my best work). Then I started surfing around through my website and realized that this is really the only pants pattern that I have for female fashion dolls, other than the Liv Doll pants pattern, which is too small to fit Barbie® and similar-sized fashion dolls.

So when my May posts are over, I may very well design and post some elastic-waist pants patterns to fit Barbie® and similar-sized fashion dolls.

I do have the Tall Barbie® pants pattern, of course, and it’s in the Top 15; I’ve also got the summer wardrobe set, which includes the capris that fit Barbie®. But clearly I need some more pants patterns!

My Gallery Page is 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. It’s always friendly and kind to 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.

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!
