Yes, I realize you’ve seen this dapper fellow before, but I’ve recently re-mastered the tutorials for making the felt coat/jacket for Ken, as well as the pants/jeans/trousers.

The short-sleeved shirt with a front pocket and collar is new to ChellyWood.com, but I need a place to re-post the whole ensemble together in one place.

Black A&M Ken (articulated) models a handmade short-sleeved cotton shirt with a collar and a single pocket. The pocket is over his left side of his chest.

Today’s free patterns include the short-sleeved shirt that my Ken is modeling in the image above, along with the elastic-waist pants/jeans/trousers.

Plus, you get the felt jacket pattern too.

Ken stands facing us, modeling a felt handmade dinner jacket with lapels and a bias tape collar. The dinner jacket comes together at the front of the garment with two snaps for a closure, and the opening of the jacket is slightly parted in a V beneath the second snap. This jacket is a little bit cropped. Beneath the jacket, he wears azure blue trousers that exactly match the felt of the jacket and a creamy collared shirt. His white sneakers are laced up with orange laces, and these shoes are made of plastic. He has warm brown skin and a flocked dark brown hair style.

I recommend using a solid cotton fabric for your doll or action figure’s pants. I used Dritz quarter-inch-wide elastic for the waistband in mine, and it is a sturdy choice.

And in some of my tutorial videos (there are links below), I also recommended purchasing a pair of Fiskars Stitchers mini scissors, for clipping small seams like the crotch.

Ken, seated on a dark-colored packing crate that rest beside a table, has one arm across the table beside him while the other appears to be reaching into a pocket for a phone. He is wearing an off-white shirt with multicolored vertical stripes and sky blue pants or jeans. His sneakers are white plastic with little orange shoe laces. He's seated in a room with a purple wall and a white floor.

To make this cotton shirt with a front pocket, you’ll need some cotton or polyester-cotton blend fabric and size 3/0 snaps.

To make the felt jacket, you’ll need craft felt, 1/4 inch double-fold bias tape, and size 3/0 snaps.

The image shows a Texas A&M Ken (African American) wearing handmade elastic-waist pants made of denim blue cotton and a pale blue pin-striped dress shirt with a collar. He stands sideways to the camera, with one leg crossed over the other in a casual, nonchalant pose. His hair is a close-cropped fuzzy brown felt. His expression is somewhat serious. In the corner of the image we see the ChellyWood.com logo.

If you use a lightweight denim or cotton that looks a lot like denim, you can also make Ken a pair of “jeans” with today’s pants pattern.

There is a long-sleeved version of this shirt. I’ll be reposting that pattern later this week, but you’ll be able to find it in the Ken doll clothes gallery where you see a Fashonista Ken wearing his Sunday best for his wedding with Barbie:
