Scroll down to the third set of bullets for the free PDF sewing patterns.

On my website, in the 12 inch female dolls gallery, I do have a few patterns for my DC Superhero Bumblebee doll (with more on the way), but this Super Girl doll is a very different doll altogether. If you’ve navigated to my website because you’re looking for patterns to fit the 12 inch Super Girl doll, I’d look at the 12 inch female dolls’ gallery for Bumblebee. Those patterns may very well fit your 12 inch DC Superhero Girls dolls.

I took this particular doll’s measurements, and this DC Superhero Super Girl doll measures 10 and 1/4 inches or 26 cm tall. So I plan to build a few more blog posts around her, in order to create her own gallery, which will be listed among the 10 inch dolls. Watch for more patterns to fit this 10 inch Super Girl!

Today’s free patterns are once again associated with the outfits I saw people wearing at the IANDS conference in Chicago. IANDS stands for International Association of Near Death Studies. It’s an organization made up of doctors, scientists, and people like me who have actually died, gone to heaven, and returned to human life once again.

As a near-death experiencer myself, I am a member of IANDS, and I thoroughly enjoyed the IANDS conference!

The person who wore this lovely black evening gown (or one sort of like it) at the IANDS conference was named Willow. What a lovely name! For a lovely person! They were a little bit shy and very kind.

It was Willow who showed me how to navigate on a credit card app, while I was working as a volunteer in Lisa’s occult bookstore. It was my first time using a phone like a cash register. Thank you, Willow, for teaching me a new 21st century skill! LOL!

So once again, I’m dropping a plug for Lisa’s bookstore, where you can purchase books about near-death experiences, like my own NDEs (I’ve had three). Use the links provided to navigate over to Lisa’s bookstore online, or if you live in the Chicago area, drop in to see Lisa’s bookstore in person.

Before I go on, I want to mention the difficulty level for today’s free DC Superhero Girls doll clothes sewing pattern. In case you didn’t notice, my patterns are marked with flowers that show how hard or how easy a given pattern will be. You can learn more about this system at this link.

Today’s doll clothes sewing pattern is marked with four flowers, making it a pattern for sewists who are already somewhat advanced.

Let me reiterate: this pattern is NOT FOR BEGINNERS.

Yes, it’s a lovely evening gown, and it looks simple enough, but the clipping of the pattern, the cutting out of the lining sections, and even the side slit can present surprisingly difficult challenges, if you are new to sewing. You have been given fair warning! So let’s move on, shall we? 😉

To make today’s long black evening gown, you will likely need one of the following items:

• cotton fabric (the link offers both solids and prints) on Etsy
• cotton fat quarters (18 inches by 21 inches of fabric)
• Gondola Snaps on Etsy (various sizes)
• chopsticks (for inverting doll clothes)
• Dritz fabric pencil
• Fiskars Stitchers mini snips (for clipping seams efficiently)
• Gutermann sewing machine thread

This list comes from my “Buyer’s Guide” page, which is easily accessed from the home page.

And if you’re interested in using earth-friendly fabrics, please consider buying your fabric from FabScrap. FabScrap is a fabric recycle and reuse service, where you can buy fabrics that would otherwise go into landfills! Watch my FabScrap unboxing video to see what kinds of fabrics they sent me!

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.
