Sindy Shoe Swap #Dolls #VintageToys

A pair of silver flat shoes are shown in close-up. They have a slit at the back of the heel and a pointy toe with a sort of off-kilter diamond imprinted into the plastic at the front of the shoe. Even the inside of the shoes are made of silver plastic. — Please visit ChellyWood.com for free printable sewing patterns for making doll clothes to fit dolls of many shapes and all different sizes.

I’m doing a very brief blog post today because I’m quite busy right now with several things going on in my life.

I’m sewing 20 drawstring bags for one of the teachers at the school where I work (this is part of a charity project I’m doing), and I’m also — at the time this article gets posted — taking a class at Boise State University, where my brother will be a speaker. (I’m really proud of him and can’t wait to see him give his speech!)

But I wondered, did any of you notice the shoes my Sindy doll was wearing in Monday’s blog post? Here’s a photo to remind you…

A vintage Pedigree Sindy from the 1970's (with dark brown hair) models a handmade dress made of a retro-style floral cotton print fabric. She ahs a belt, made of the same fabric, tied around her tiny waist. She wears silver flat shoes on her little doll feet. the dress is sleeveless with a simple round neckline. There is a slight ruffle around the bottom of the dress, and it's also made of the floral cotton retro-style fabric. — Please visit ChellyWood.com for free printable sewing patterns for making doll clothes to fit dolls of many shapes and all different sizes.

If you’re a Sindy doll aficionado, you probably thought, “Which shoes are those? I don’t recognize them…”

That’s because they’re not officially Sindy shoes. My Sindy didn’t come with shoes, so I went through my shoe storage and found these lovely silver flats to go with her outfit.

“But if they’re not Sindy’s then what doll did those shoes belong to?” you may ask.

These lovely, simple silver flats came with one of my Creatable World dolls! — Now please be advised, I haven’t tried on all of my shoes from the Creatable World line, and that experiment will have to wait for another day.

If you’re surprised, you’re not alone. I, too, was surprised to find Creatable World dolls shoes did fit Sindy. And in the image below, the yellow shoes that my vintage Tammy is wearing…

A vintage Ideal Tammy standing next to a vintage Pedigree Sindy doll, demonstrates by comparison that Tammy is taller than Sindy, but the dolls wear two dresses made from the same pattern. Sindy wears a denim version while Tammy wears a soft cotton version. These dresses were made using Simplicity 4883 doll clothes patterns for Ideal Tammy. Both dresses are belted, but the denim dress has a longer, two-layered ruffle with pink gingham under the shorter denim ruffle. Sindy also carries a denim purse with her dress. — Please visit ChellyWood.com for free printable sewing patterns for making doll clothes to fit dolls of many shapes and all different sizes.

Those came on my Sunshine Family mom (Steffie — sometime spelled Stephie) doll! So there’s a little quick fact about shoe swapping for those of you who collect vintage Ideal Tammy and vintage Sindy dolls!

Have a lovely day…
