Baby BOY doll clothes? Yup! #DollClothes #SewingPatterns

I often get “fan mail” asking, “Will you please design more doll clothes for boy dolls?” and then the email mentions the type of doll they want “male doll clothes” for. Chances are, I already have a pattern that will most likely work. That’s because boys’ clothes and girls’ clothes really aren’t that different, if you use your imagination. Take the McCall’s Craft Pattern M6233 … Continue reading Baby BOY doll clothes? Yup! #DollClothes #SewingPatterns

This image shows a Lemon Meringue doll from the vintage Strawberry Shortcake collection wearing a handmade dress. The photo of the doll is overlaid on a turquoise cloth background with the words "free pattern" boldly expressed in the side margin. The bodice of the dress is bright yellow, like Lemon Meringue's curly yellow hair. It's a felt bodice, so it has a certain fluffy texture to it. The lower half of the dress--the skirt part--is made of multicolored cotton fabric. This fabric is decorated with little lines formed by aligned letter exes, in the colors blue, yellow, red, green, orange, and black on a white cotton background color. The doll stands with chubby cheeks and sparkling eyes, looking straight at the camera in anticipation. The watermark reminds us to visit ChellyWood.com for a free printable PDF sewing pattern to make this and other doll clothes to fit dolls of many shapes and sizes.
