Make a “Three Musketeers” costume for fashion dolls w/these free PDF sewing patterns @ ChellyWood.com #RenFaire #DollClothesPatterns

In this photo, a Made to move Barbie with blond hair and tan complexion models a complete costume for a Musketeer. It includes her wide-brimmed leather-like hat with a feather jutting out from between the hat's brim and the hat's puffy crown. It includes a green tunic, worn under a blue surcoat that has a tan lining. It includes a pair of bi-colored pants or trousers in burgundy and white. It includes a pair of high (to the knee) plastic brown boots that look like they really lace up to the fringes of leather around the knee. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in the corner.

It has been a long time since I’ve posted anything related to my Romeo and Juliet with Dolls stop motion video, so I think I’m due to post more of these patterns.

In the past, all of these patterns were available here, but since they are some of my earliest posted patterns, they were only posted as JPG images, not PDF documents. I’m still working hard to try to get all of these patterns converted to PDFs for easy download.

Please excuse any hand-drawn patterns related to my Romeo and Juliet stop motion video. Back in those days, my patterns and my blog were really just a personal journey thing.

In this photo, the Musketeer Barbie stands with her side to the camera. We now see that her tunic beneath the musketeer jacket is quite elaborate, having a skirting of its own and puffed sleeves. We can also tell from this angle that each pant leg has two colors: burgundy and white, with one color visible from the front and the other color visible from the back. We can also tell that the blue tunic she wears is lined with tan flannel that truly gives the appearance of soft leather suede. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in the corner.

Also, my tutorial videos were made using a cell phone (not a modern one either) and some very clunky software. So bear with me as I revive these old tutorial videos. I’ve learned a LOT since then about photography and videography!

Lastly, I wanted you to see this whole costume from various angles, so you can really tell that this project is not for the beginners out there. However tomorrow I’ll post something a little easier from the Romeo and Juliet video collection.

Here we see Musketeer Barbie from the back. Her puffy crown of her wide brimmed hat is more obvious from this angle, and her jacket (which opened at the front in a previous photo) has a flat back with arms that extend wide like a cape. The bi-colored trousers appear once again, but we can now see that they have alternate colors in the back, with the left leg displaying white cotton fabric and the right leg displaying burgundy colored fabric. Her boots, which are made of plastic, have a split that runs up the back for easy changing. The Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in the corner.

I realize that I NEED to finish putting together my stop-motion video of Romeo and Juliet With Dolls. I will get to that… eventually.

But for now, here’s what you’ll need, if you want to make this challenging “Three Musketeers” style costume:  some solid flannel fabric (for the hat and the coat’s lining), some solid colored cotton for the bi-colored trousers and the outer part of the jacket, a hook-and-eye closure for the jacket front, a printed fabric for the tunic, and a decorative feather for the doll’s cap. Oh, and you’ll need some Dritz snaps.
