Oh my goodness, the CUTENESS! Here’s a new outfit for Tink… @ ChellyWood.com #SummerFashion #SewingInspiration

On a blue background, a Disney Princess Tinkerbell 9 inch doll models handmade doll clothes: a pink skirt trimmed in royal blue ribbon with glasses printed on it and a blue crop top. The Chelly Wood logo in the corner reminds us that free sewing patterns for making this outfit (along with free tutorial videos) are found at Chelly Wood dot com.

Today’s sewing project, with the usual free doll clothes patterns, is a little crop-top tee shirt and an elastic-waist miniskirt with a ribbon trim!

As you can see, it looks positively fabulous on my little Tinkerbell fairy doll, but there’s a whole list of other dolls that can wear today’s outfit, in the first set of bullets below.

A Tinkerbell-like Disney fairy doll stands on a walkway that runs through a fairy forest in which the forest floor is dotted with tiny bluebells and the trees sport ivy and moss growing all along their bark. This fairy doll wears a blue handmade tee shirt over a pink mottled cotton skirt that's trimmed in a blue ribbon; running along the length of the ribbon are painted-on sunglasses or just glasses. The doll wears blue plastic shoes. Her cartoonish pink wings appear to have been added to the photo by use of Photoshop or some other AI software. The Chelly Wood logo appears in the lower left corner of the photo.

As you can see, I had a lot of fun making photos for today’s sewing project! In that picture above, it sort of looks like my Tinkerbell doll is about to take flight!

But hey, if you wanted to make this outfit for your Tinkerbell (or other Disney fairy dolls — or other dolls in this size range), you will need some lightweight jersey fabric for the cropped T-shirt, a bit of cotton for the skirt, some 1/4 inch ribbon to trim the skirt, and a length of 1/8 inch wide elastic for the skirt’s waist.

A nine-inch Disney Princess Tinkerbell fairy doll stands in a sky-blue background with an open book in front of her. Emerging from the book is a wisp of purple clouds that become a fairy tale castle. Tinkerbell holds her pink star-topped wand aloft, but her facial expression is a bit surprised, as if she wasn't expecting that castle to pop out of the book! Her wings behind her are the same shade of pink as her little handmade elastic-waist skirt with its blue ribbon trim. Her blue tee shirt matches the blue ribbon trim, but the ribbon trim has a glasses or sunglasses pattern on it. There's a graphic novel style talk bubble that says "POOF!" in bright pink letters above the castle and Tinkerbell's head.

According to Wikipedia, “Ideal Toy Company was an American toy company founded by Morris Michtom and his wife, Rose. During the post–World War II baby boom era, Ideal became the largest doll-making company in the United States.” They produced the Tammy family line of dolls, including Ideal Pepper dolls, but eventually the Tammy line of dolls went out of production (with the exception of the Sindy doll — the UK version — which has had a recent revival). There have been a complicated series of sales of rights for Ideal toys since then, and you can read about it on Wikipedia, if you’re interested. But at the time of this blog post, the trademark name “Tammy” for these dolls was abandoned and has remained “dead” (according to the US Trademark database) since 2004.

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…

According to Wikipedia (as of 9 January 2022), Strawberry Shortcake “is a cartoon character used in greeting cards published by American Greetings. The line was later expanded to include dolls… The franchise is currently owned by the Canadian children’s television company WildBrain and American brand management company, Iconix Brand Group through the holding company Shortcake IP Holdings LLC.” I was unable to find a website for Shortcake IP Holdings LLC, but I believe they own the US trademark for the dolls, even though I believe my own doll was originally made and marketed by Hasbro.
