On a purple cotton background with tiny white polka dots, we see a Bratz doll wearing a white felt dress with lace trim. It looks almost like a wedding dress or a very fancy summer dress. The words "free pattern" appear above the ChellyWood logo, on the left side of the square of purple fabric.

Framed by a purple and blue quilt, we see three cabbage patch dolls dressed in handmade doll clothes. This looks like it is a photo from the front of a commercial pattern. There's a "Goodwill" sticker on the front as well, indicating that the pattern was purchased from a second-hand store. The ChellyWood.com logo also appears on the image to the side of the pattern photo.

I’m feeling inspired to design some dolly overalls… #DollClothesPatterns #SewingProjects

How cute are those little overalls? I’ve been feeling inspired to design a sewing pattern for making a pair of doll-sized overalls, but I’m not sure which doll(s) I want to make them for. Lately I’ve been sewing a lot of teeny-tiny stuff for my niece’s 6 inch Elsa and 5 inch Anna dolls. That’s one option, but they seem awfully tiny for the project. … Continue reading I’m feeling inspired to design some dolly overalls… #DollClothesPatterns #SewingProjects

Learning at the Laundromat @ ChellyWood.com #Embroidery and #DollClothesPatterns

Last weekend our dryer quit working, so, as it was raining (and therefore I couldn’t use the laundry line), I had to take my wet laundry to the laundromat to finish. When I was in college, I used my laundromat a lot, so I know that there’s a whole lotta waiting involved at a laundromat. These days most people look at their phones while they … Continue reading Learning at the Laundromat @ ChellyWood.com #Embroidery and #DollClothesPatterns

This is a square image with two colors: turquoise blue linen look on top and purple with tiny white polka dots on the bottom. Overlapping the turquoise blue fabric are the words "free doll clothes patterns" and overlapping the purple cotton fabric with tiny white polka dots, we see three photos of a Disney Elsa toddler doll from Disney's Frozen 2. In these photos, Elsa models (left) a pair of pants with a sleeveless felt shirt; (center) a play dress of white with a floral heart print cotton fabric that has a velvet belt; (right) a yellow felt jacket over an Easter-egg print pink skirt with a pink felt shirt.

With a purple and turquoise blue background behind her, a woman sits at her embroidery hoop with scissors and floss beside her. The embroidery needle in her hand has thread that leads to a heart shape near the words "the whipstitch and more" which makes up the heading for this blog post featured image.

Whatever happened to Kenner’s Dusty dolls and Skye dolls? #VintageDolls #DollClothesPatterns

Are you old enough to remember Kenner’s Dusty and Skye dolls? Want to know why nobody seems to collect them these days?

Dusty was a doll with an … Continue reading Whatever happened to Kenner’s Dusty dolls and Skye dolls? #VintageDolls #DollClothesPatterns
