The image shows a free pattern for a pajama top and shorts (AKA a babydoll pajama set) to fit Mattel's Barbie and similar-sized dolls. The images on the pattern show a Barbie doll, a Skipper doll, and a vintage Francie doll all wearing this pajama. It includes a pair of "booty shorts" with an elastic waist and an easy-to-sew gathered pajama top which uses ribbon and bias tape to create a cute little pajama top and shorts to fit fashion dolls in the 10-inch to 11.5-inch size range.

Here we see a vintage Francie doll walking in pajamas and handmade slippers. She's walking on a hardwood floor with unicorn-and-rainbow wallpaper behind her. The cotton fabric of her short nightgown is decorated with tiny cupcakes. The bodice of her nightgown is white lace, and the nightgown also has little ribbon straps.

The image shows a Made-to-Move Barbie wearing a handmade babydoll pajama. The doll's lilac-colored pajamas are trimmed in bias tape, ribbon, and rick-rack. Barbie lays on a doll-sized bed with a small quilt on the bed. The quilt has little hearts on it (for this image was posted in February, for Valentine's Day. Barbie's head lays on a quilted pink-and-purple nine patch pillow. She has a stuffed bear on her bed and a cabinet in the background. The wallpaper is purple and there's a window in the wall behind her. The whole diorama is 1:6 scale to suit Barbie. The doll wraps her hand around the nine-patch quilted doll pillow, and she has her legs crossed at the ankle as she reclines upon her little quilt-covered bed.

The image shows five little girls seated under an antique sewing machine. Each girl is hand-stitching doll clothes, and they are chatting. The artist's style is reminiscent of the Victorian era, as is the sewing machine and the sewing table it sits on. The overlay says, "Share your creations!" and offers the url ChellyWood.com, where you can submit photos of your hand-made doll clothes and doll craft projects.
