Barbie and friends are headed to a Halloween dance… Watch the stop-motion video! #StopMotion #HalloweenKids

My regular followers have been enjoying my “Spooky Sewing” series, where you learn how to make the outfits featured in today’s stop motion video, using my free doll clothes sewing patterns and tutorial videos. This series will continue next week as well. Today’s video includes both a super fun dance scene in stop-motion and a pitch for the sale of these adorable Halloween outfits for Barbie and Petite Barbie sized dolls.

The dance moves were inspired by Nancy Sinatra’s video for “These Boots Were Made for Walkin’.” To create my video, I watched Nancy Sinatra’s video, over and over again, going backwards to re-watch and make my dolls’ arms imitate the moves the dancers made in that video. The fancy footwork is a little harder for dolls to do, but I did my best.

Playful Halloween-themed fashion display: A whimsical collection of Barbie doll sized skirts, tops, and leggings, arranged like decks of cards ready for a magic trick. The Chelly Wood dot com logo adds a touch of charm next to the vibrant array of skirts. Each skirt showcases unique Halloween patterns: retro candy reminiscent of trick-or-treating nostalgia, mysterious dark clouds set against a night sky, grinning jack-o-lanterns, and sweet candy corn. The standout piece, a long maxi skirt, is adorned with the word “Spooky,” surrounded by a delightful ensemble of pumpkins, bats, and ghosts dancing in a festive palette of orange, black, and white.

I don’t often sell the doll clothes that I make, but I thought I’d put these Halloween-themed doll clothes up for sale in my Etsy store to see if anyone (or their children or grandchildren) would like them. They’re very inexpensive, considering that they’re all handmade by me, entirely designed by me, and they include 5 skirts, 5 tops, and the handmade tights as well.

Please note that the tights and shirt worn by my Petite Barbie are going to fit smaller, 10-inch fashion dolls like Skipper, Petite Barbie, and similar-sized dolls, but are less likely to fit a regular Barbie.

Shoes, boots, dolls, and diorama parts are not for sale.

However, while you’re visiting my Etsy store, be sure to look through the other goodies I have up for grabs. As of yesterday afternoon when I wrote this blog post, my mother-in-law’s doll quilt was still available (see image above), and I have a couple of digital sewing organizers you can purchase to download and use on your phone or laptop.

Some of you have already purchased my digital products, and for that I’m deeply grateful. Today I’m planning to update my budget, and quarters 1 through 3 in my bank account looked promising, thanks to all the support you’ve been giving.

I really appreciate the donations too. It makes me feel truly valued!

On a purple background, the words "thank you" appear in a pretty cursive font with a large pink heart, followed by additional text. The whole text reads thus: "Thank you for your order. Thank you so much for your order. Your purchase helps everyone who uses this free doll clothes pattern website... small business owners, charity groups, retired folks who are making doll clothes for grandkids, etc..."

  1. Dear Chelly, I enjoyed watching your video featuring Barbie dolls dancing in their Halloween fashions. As I mentioned before, I own twins of Barbie Basics doll #4, the redheaded Kayla/Lea faced girl. One I hybrid on a regular Made to Move body, the other is in the box on a petite Made to Move body that she came in. She’s one of my favorites.

    1. She is gorgeous, isn’t she? I’m hoping to use mine in another Barbie adventure, based on people I met at the IANDS conference in Chicago.

      I went to see a lady speak in one of the conference rooms. Her name is Holly Porter. She died during Covid and came back to tell the tale. This red-headed Petite Barbie looks a lot like her!

      Holly Porter wrote a book about her NDE called, Near Death Shift: What Dying Taught Me About Life, Business, and Purpose. I haven’t read it yet, but it’s on my wish list!
