All the doll clothes from this series have been made, using a child’s tee shirt from my local charity shop, Goodwill, and through these blog posts I hope to encourage you, my followers, to do the same. Re-use old materials! Let’s maintain the enthusiasm for recycling!
It’s good for the pocketbook, and it’s good for mother earth!

The only items I had to buy new, in order to make the clothing shown above, were the snaps (AKA poppers) and the elastic.
But if I had to buy brand new fabric to make this outfit, I’d purchase jersey fabric. My doll’s shirt, skirt, and hair band are all made from jersey, or tee shirt material.
Now if you’re new to my YouTube channel and/or this website, I advise you to venture over to my Sindy doll clothes sewing gallery, where all my patterns for Sindy are free, and each one comes with a free tutorial video.

Also, if you’re new to my website, you may benefit by watching this tutorial, which shows you how to navigate around my website, finding the free patterns for whatever doll you happen to be sewing for today.
By developing a gallery of free patterns for Pedigree Sindy, I’m trying to reach out to people in the UK, Canada, Australia, and elsewhere, to make sure they also know about my free doll clothes sewing pattern website.

The Spin Master company held the trademark for the Liv Dolls (™). Please visit the Spin Master Toys and Games website to learn more about their company and its trademarked toys and games. Please be aware that the Chelly Wood animated doll is a Spin Master Liv doll that has been re-painted and had its wig colored to appear to look like the real doll clothing designer, Chelly Wood. This was done as a creative project by Chelly’s daughters, and the Spin Master Toys and Games company was not involved in the doll’s makeover in any way.

Sindy dolls were originally created by Pedigree Dolls & Toys, but they have been made by other manufacturers including Hasbro, Vivid Imaginations, and New Moon. Currently (at the time of this blog post) a limited number of the newest version of these dolls is being manufactured by Kid Kreations of Staffordshire, England. I haven’t tried my doll clothes on this newer version, but sewists have told me my Tammy doll patterns do fit the vintage Sindy dolls created by Pedigree Dolls & Toys. Please visit one of these toy companies’ websites to learn more about the toys they produce. The Sindy dolls are trademarked and as such, it should be noted that Chelly Wood and ChellyWood.com are not affiliated with either Pedigree or Kid Creations. However Chelly has enjoyed designing doll clothes that will fit these dolls along with others in a similar size range…
