Scroll down to the second set of bullets for the free PDF sewing patterns.

Almost exactly one year ago, I converted my “Father Montague” and “The Prince” costume pattern from JPG image format to an easy-to-print PDF.

Well, I not only create free printable sewing patterns for doll clothes, but I also use my own patterns to make doll clothes! (Surprise, surprise, right?) However, every now and then, when I go to print my own patterns, I find errors in them.

Remember, I’m just one lady — not a big corporation — running this huge website with hundreds of patterns!

Anyway, I discovered recently that when I posted the Father Montague/The Prince costume from my Romeo and Juliet with dolls stop-motion videos, back in August of 2022, I forgot to convert the muffin cap part of the costume, which you’ll see in my thumbnail image and the photos in this blog post.

In the photo, a repainted Ken doll with a nonchalant expression models the following handmade doll clothes: a black cotton muffin cap; a long-sleeved tunic with puff sleeves and a fleur de lis pattern which is a white pattern over a black cotton fabric (this tunic has puffy sleeves in a renaissance style and gold bars of ribbon running down the front of the garment); a pair of black trousers; a pair of black plastic shoes. The doll stands in a stucco walled room with double-doors behind him, and metal wall hangings adorning the walls near the doorway. The Ken doll stands very close to a feasting table with green squash plants on a decorative tier table, a ceramic pitcher, a basket filled with some type of food -- possibly eggplants -- and a cutting board that has bread and a knife on it. These items are spread out over two layers of table cloths. The top table cloth is more of a banner in green and black with a family crest showing a lion surrounded by white with a black border. The second layer of table cloth is a white scalloped edge cloth that has tiny cutwork. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in the upper left corner of the photo.

I’ve since added a PDF for the muffin cap to my Father Montague/The Prince costume patterns on their primary pattern access page.

With that said, please contact me any time you find something awry on my website. Whenever I get a message like, “I can’t find the pattern for ____________” (fill in the blank), I always go investigate the page, so I can fix the problem.

Of course some patterns have not yet been converted to PDF’s, but I’ve tried to convert the most popular doll clothes patterns first. On my weekends, I’m still working to convert all other JPG patterns to PDFs, and get them posted here on the website, in a timely fashion.

It really helps, when you contact me, if you are specific about which doll clothes patterns are faulty or problematic. So when you do find a mistake, be sure to describe the pattern well in your message to me, to make it easier for me to root out the problem.

And a special thank-you to all who have reached out and helped me locate errors in the past! I couldn’t run this website nearly as efficiently without the help of faithful followers like you!
