Make a poncho for Lammily with today’s free printable PDF sewing pattern #Poncho #DollClothes

The African-American Lammily "Traveler" doll models a multicolored ponch with yellow cotton fringe trim. The poncho is made of an African print fabric with blocky art in the colors red, green, yellow, and black. Beneath the poncho, the Lammily doll's skirt is yellow, and her shirt is white. She wears white plastic flat shoes. She stands on a white floor with a mottled blue wall behind her. The doll's hair is styled in an Afro reminiscent of the 1960's and early 1970's, with tight locks of curly black hair. Her facial features are welcoming and honest, with a slight smile and open eyes. She stands facing the camera. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in one corner of the image.

I first posted this poncho pattern here, on ChellyWood.com, in celebration of Kwanzaa. But that earlier post only offered the poncho pattern as a JPG image.

Today I’m giving you the poncho pattern as a free printable PDF sewing pattern, and yes it is reversible! It will also fit your Lammily dolls.

If you’re not familiar with the Lammily dolls, they have a wonderful story. Click here to learn more about them.

And in fact, I designed some of their earliest commercial patterns, which are still for sale on the Lammily website. Click here to see their patterns.

Yes, before there was Curvy Barbie, there was Lammily, and I’m very proud to have taken part in the movement that literally RE-SHAPED fashion dolls for the better! Lammily is still offering their dolls at very reasonable prices, and I would highly advise purchasing one for a little girl you know.

Their message is clear: you don’t have to be a toothpick-skinny girl to be beautiful, adventurous, and amazing!

These dolls are posable and remarkably photogenic.

Back in 2015, I took my Lammily dolls with me to Paris, where I did a number of amazing photo shoots with them in unforgettable places. Have a look at this one, taken at Versailles:

Here we see the Lammily Photographer doll taking a photo of the Lammily Traveler doll. The Traveler doll wears a toga of sorts and holds a gold lyre. They stand before one of the outbuildings on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles near Paris, France. The watermark reminds us that Chelly Wood dot com offers free printable sewing patterns for making doll clothes to fit dolls of many shapes and all different sizes.

To make my African print Kwanzaa poncho, you’ll need some small-print African-style cotton fabricfringe, and solid-color cotton fabric. There’s also an optional pom-pom edging on the flip side of my poncho, because it’s reversible, as you’ll see in the image below:

In this photo, the Lammily doll wears the same poncho in reverse, showing green cotton as the primary fabric of the poncho. The neckline is rimmed in tiny red pom pom trim, while the longer edges of the poncho is again trimmed in yellow cotton fringe. Lammily wears the same yellow skirt and white top under the poncho, along with her white plastic flat shoes (like loafers). But this time the doll is turned at an angle to the camera, so we can see under one sleeve of the poncho. Also, the left hand is out from under the poncho, flipping up the corner of the poncho, so that we can see the Kwanzaa style fabric or African print fabric that also appears underneath the poncho. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in the corner.
