I am a school librarian with an English degree, and I like to write books. I've also designed commercial doll clothes patterns, and I make stop-motion videos with dolls. My literary agent is Elizabeth Kracht of Kimberley Cameron and Associates.
The image shows vintage Crissy doll (from Ideal Toy Co.) wearing handmade doll clothes including an easy to sew felt shirt and polka dot skirt. Beside this image is a photo of a BFC Ink doll from MGA Entertainment Toys and Games. The BFC Ink doll wears handmade doll clothes as well, including in her outfit a v-neck blouse and embellished spotty skirt. Both dolls are posed in lovely diorama scenes: the Crissy doll stands between two palm trees on a beach; the retired BFC Ink doll (Best Friends Club Ink) appears to be in an art museum with a 1970’s poster on the wall behind her. On each image is the watermark of the website where you can download the FREE sewing patterns to make the outfits shown on the Crissy doll and BFC Ink dolls: ChellyWood.com (free printable sewing patterns for doll clothes to fit dolls of many shapes and sizes). Chelly Wood’s free printable patterns are offered as PDF downloads.

This image shows a visual preview of the free printable pdf pattern downloadable link that's on the same page. In the preview, we see four images of a tiny 6 inch American girl doll wearing variations of outfits that were made using this pattern. One outfit includes a T-shirt that appears to be screen printed with the words "All Star" and this shirt matches the girl-power printed fabric of the shorts the doll wears. There's also an image of the same tee shirt in navy blue solid fabric with a pair of elastic-waist underpants made of the same fabric. The doll models a tee shirt and shorts made of pink jersey fabric as well, and in a fourth image, she wears the tee shirt with a skirt. Each of these 6 inch doll clothes items has a sewing pattern that's visible in the preview image: a pattern for a skirt for 6" American Girl dolls; a pattern for a T-shirt to fit the 6-inch American Girl dolls; a pattern for shorts to fit the 6 inch AG dolls, and two patterns in the shapes of underpants / knickers that six inch American Girl dolls (AG dolls) can wear. All of these are free printable sewing patterns that you can use, marked with the Creative Commons Attribution mark, with an easy PDF download at ChellyWood.com

Find matching #fabric using this unusual #crafty #hack: underwear packs!

When I’m sewing for a doll as tiny as the 6.5-inch American Girl doll, I always feel like it’s a shame to buy a full yard of fabric for such a tiny little doll. Sure, I can use fat quarters from JoAnn’s Fabrics and Crafts, but sometimes you want to get a selection of jersey fabrics that all match. That can get expensive! So here’s … Continue reading Find matching #fabric using this unusual #crafty #hack: underwear packs!
