This document is a free printable sewing pattern for an apron that will fit most 11.5 inch dolls. The apron can be used as a pinafore, as it does wrap around a doll's waist and tie at the back, but the straps of the apron are fixed in place, much like a full-dress pinafore. This apron has functional pockets and is also available to make as a reversible apron. It will fit dolls in the size range of Barbies, Liv Dolls, Momoko dolls, Queens of Africa, Francie, Midge, and many similar-sized fashion dolls. This apron comes with a free tutorial showing you how to make it as a pinafore to be worn over our "harvest" style sunflower dress. Visit ChellyWood.com to get the free tutorial videos and the pattern for the dress as well.

#Dolls’ #Harvest Apron #Sewing Pattern @ ChellyWood.com

This is the pattern for the “harvest apron” project that I showed in yesterday’s preview photos. It’s the same pattern that we used to make the reversible hairdresser’s apron (published here on ChellyWood.com in July of 2017). However in the latest project, I’ll be using this pattern as a one-sided apron–almost more of a pinafore–over the top of my sunflower dress for 11.5-inch fashion dolls … Continue reading #Dolls’ #Harvest Apron #Sewing Pattern @ ChellyWood.com

The image shows a Made to Move Barbie with blond hair and olive complexion standing in a fall setting. Before her is a tiny white wheelbarrow filled with harvest vegetables. At her side are bales of hay. She wears a pretty dress dotted with sunflowers on a burgundy fabric. The dress is trimmed with yellow rickrack. Over the top of this cap-sleeved dress is a sunflower-yellow apron with big pockets. She appears to be holding her skirt out to demonstrate its fullness. A smattering of fall leaves are at her feet. Behind her is a pond with trees that seem to be in various stages of changing from summer to fall foliage colors.

Isn’t that an adorable harvest scene? This “harvest dress and pinafore” was part of a little girl’s birthday gift that I made. The pinafore is actually a re-design of the reversible hairdresser’s apron pattern that I made and posted back in 2016. (Click here for a link to that project.) This week I’m going to focus on the pinafore, as it can be complicated if … Continue reading #Sew a Pinafore-style #Apron for Fashion #Dolls w/free pattern@ ChellyWood.com

How to #Sew #Dritz Snaps on #Dolls’ Clothes @ ChellyWood.com

Are you wanting to buy some snaps for your doll clothes? I highly recommend Dritz snaps for the following reasons: If you buy them on a card, you can be sure the “male” snap will fit inside the “female” snap correctly. They are made of high-quality materials. They are always made with the hole in the center, exactly like the ones shown in my video. … Continue reading How to #Sew #Dritz Snaps on #Dolls’ Clothes @ ChellyWood.com
