I’m sure you recognize the doll at the top of this page. She’s the Chelly Wood doll that you see in nearly all of my sewing videos!

This doll has a very special place in my heart because although she started out as a Liv Doll (from Spin Master), her makeover was done by my two daughters.

My youngest dyed the hair of the wig and styled it to look like my own hair, while my oldest daughter repainted her to look a lot like me, in terms of facial features.

The Liv Dolls are no longer in production, but what a shame! They’re lovely dolls with plenty of articulation. In fact, they’re one of my favorite dolls to work with, when it comes to stop motion photography, because of their pose-ability.

Luckily, there are plenty of used Liv Dolls available for purchase on eBay.

Another doll that’s easy to pose for stop-motion photography is the Project MC2 doll, and as you can see in the image below, these dolls can swap clothes with the Spin Master Liv dolls, for the most part:

This is a photograph of Project MC2 (Project MC squared) doll Bryden Bandweth modeling handmade doll clothes designed by Chelly Wood. She stands in front of a mural-sized painting of Monet's green bridge over a pond of water lilies. She's standing on sandy ground. She wears a long-sleeved blouse or shirt made of white cotton decorated with tiny grey flowers. She wears long black pants that appear to be only slightly too long for her. The shoes she's wearing are black. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in one corner of the photo.

But the pants are a wee bit too long on the Project MC2 dolls, so if you’re using today’s pattern to sew outfits for your Project MC2 dolls, I advise altering the pants by bringing them up just a bit.

If you’re not sure how doll clothes alterations work, you might think about taking my “How to Alter Doll Clothes Patterns” paid course on Creative Spark. In fact, bringing up a pair of pants is one of the earliest lessons offered in that class.

If you’d like to make an outfit like the one I’m featuring today, you’ll need some small print cotton fabric for the shirt, some solid cotton fabric for the pants, a few Dritz snaps for the back closure of the shirt, and 1/8 inch elastic for the pants.

Just as an FYI, the Mary Jane-style shoes my “Chelly Wood” Liv doll is wearing came from my friend Dodi’s eBay store, Barbie59Pink, which I blogged about last Tuesday. Here’s a link to that blog article. If you’re looking for some realistic shoes that Liv dolls can wear, I highly recommend buying some “Little Extras” from Dodi!

Here’s another look at the shoe styles she offers in her eBay store:

A rainbow of shoes arcs across the center of the photo. These shoes can be described left to right as follows: red flats, black flats, blue slippers with tiny white flowers atop the slippers' cushioned area at the front of the foot, and pink Mary Janes. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in the corner of the photo.
