Doesn’t my Curvy look awesome in this Three Musketeers style coat and hat? Today I’m going to share my patterns and tutorials for making the coat. Tomorrow I’ll share my patterns and tutorials for making the hat.
Please be aware that although the patterns are re-mastered, the tutorials for sewing these doll clothes are some of the earliest tutorials I made. Sorry about that. Scroll down and you’ll understand about the nostalgia…
This week I’m being nostalgic because yesterday was my release day for Romeo and Juliet with Dolls “Act I,” a stop-motion video I’ve been working on for the past four years. Please click on that link I’ve provided and take a look at my quick little video. It’s quite a show!
You can also look back at the FREE tunic pattern and the tutorial for making the yellow tights, if you go back to Tuesday’s post.
If anyone’s interested, those are Liv Doll boots my Curvy’s wearing. They fit her legs because Liv Doll boots have a nice slit up the back to allow extra room for curves!
Come back tomorrow for the pattern and tutorial for making her Renaissance-style hat.

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 offers a tutorial showing you how to download and print my FREE patterns using Google Docs. (For the older print-a-pattern tutorial, which uses Microsoft Word, click here.) To review my difficulty scale (demonstrating how hard or easy a pattern is by the number of flowers displayed), take a look back at this blog post.
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 scant 1/4 inch seam (4 mm to be exact).
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. My patterns are now available through “Creative Commons Attribution.” This means that I created my patterns (and therefore I own rights to them), but I’m willing to share them with everyone who will tell people about my website.
Here are some helpful ways to tell the world about my patterns:
- You can pin them on Pinterest.
- You can like them on Facebook.
- You can tweet about them.
- Use any other form of social media that appeals to you!
Are you new to sewing? I’ve got a playlist 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 use the whipstitch to hem a garment, how to sew on snaps, and even how to design your own doll clothes patterns, for those who are new to design and alterations.
In case you haven’t heard, I have actually designed some 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.
If your question wasn’t answered here, feel free to submit a question. I’m always happy to help my followers find what they need, so they, too, can make amazing doll clothes and crafts!
