Sew a Halloween party skirt and top for Chelsea dolls w/today’s free PDF sewing patterns @ ChellyWood.com #LittleThings #DollClothesPatterns

In this photo, an African or African American Chelsea doll (from Mattel) models an orange speckled cotton skirt with a white felt sleeveless shirt. Her shoes are made of yellow plastic, and she stands on a white floor with a blue splatter-look background. The Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in one corner of the photo.

Today’s project is only a little bit different from the doll clothes we made yesterday, for my vintage Strawberry Shortcake doll.

However instead of the cotton short-sleeved shirt (which, by the way, also fits Chelsea — click here for that pattern), we’ll be making a much easier felt sleeveless shirt for Chelsea dolls.

As I said in yesterday’s blog post, because this mini skirt is so small, you’ll need to use elastic cord instead of braided elastic.

With elastic cord, you don’t need to run a safety pin through the casing, like I show in many of my elastic-waist-skirt tutorials. Usually elastic cord is sturdy enough that you can just push it through the casing to the other side, cut it a little too long, and tie it in a knot at the opening of the casing.

And while we’re on the subject of elastic-waist skirt tutorial videos, please be aware that the video in the second set of bullets below shows how to make a similar skirt for a different doll, but the steps for sewing this little skirt are basically the same.

To make the tiny shirt, you’ll need some white craft felt and three tiny size 4/0 Dritz snaps.

For the skirt, you’ll want some cotton small-print fabric.
