Month: July 2017

Here we see an Ever After High female doll wearing a skirt and high-collar blouse. She stands on a beach with a harbor behind her. The doll's skirt has a black tulle petticoat, and the cotton skirt over the top of the tulle is black with little shamrocks forming the print of the cotton skirt. The blouse is white and has lace cuffs. It's a long tunic, but it opens a bit at the waistline to expose the colorful skirt.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m going through some of my older patterns and re-designing them. The pattern above was originally posted in January of 2015, I believe. As I go through these older patterns, I’m focusing on improving them a bit. Here’s what I mean: They now have better instructions (like seam allowances). They now tell the difficulty level of the pattern. They include the … Continue reading Free Dress Patterns for #FashionDolls @ ChellyWood.com #Shakespeare’s #RomeoJuliet

The shirt is a basic long-sleeved shirt with front darts for shaping. It uses a lining … Continue reading FREE #doll clothes patterns from ChellyWood.com #smartisthenewcool @projectMC2
