Framed by turquoise blue linen, an African or African American Chelsea doll models a tiny orange skirt and white felt top. Her photo appears just beneath the words "free pattern" in white above her head and at a slight angle. The Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in the lower left corner of this thumbnail image.

Are you looking for the patterns? Scroll down to the second set of bullets. 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 … Continue reading Sew a Halloween party skirt and top for Chelsea dolls w/today’s free PDF sewing patterns @ ChellyWood.com #LittleThings #DollClothesPatterns

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.

Turning inspiration into the real thing: doll overalls! #DollClothesPatterns #SewingProjects

Back in march, I did a blog post about these cute Cabbage Patch doll overalls, and how I was itching to design some overalls for one of my dolls. At the time, I wasn’t sure which doll to make my overall pattern for.
