The image shows an American Girl doll, Kaya, wearing a hand-made swimsuit. She stands between two palm trees that seem to be made of wrapping paper cardboard tubes that have been decorated to look like palm trees. In front of the doll is a shimmering "sea" made of table cloth material. Behind her, another table cloth is decorated with quilt batting to look like clouds. The words overlaying this scene say, "Doll Beach" and the URL ChellyWood.com is offered, as a location where you can learn more about creating this and other dioramas for doll play videos.

The image shows the thumbnail for a YouTube tutorial video showing how to sew a bikini swimsuit for 18-inch dolls like American Girl dolls and Madame Alexander dolls. The American Girl doll called Kaya is shown modeling this two-piece swimsuit for dolls, and her swimsuit forms a training-bra-style bikini top and briefs or bikini bottoms that go up to her true waist. The watermark on this youtube header says "ChellyWood.com," the website where the free pattern for this 18-inch doll swimsuit pattern can be downloaded and printed for free. The words on the youtube tutorial header state: "Doll bikini Part 2" because this is the second tutorial in the series.

The image shows an 18-inch American Girl doll (Kaya) and an 18 inch Madame Alexander doll playing on a beach. The beach is a home-made diorama including a table cloth-covered wall that looks like a blue sky with quilt-batting clouds overhead and vellum wrapping paper with tinsel on top to look like water on a fake-sand beach. The two dolls seem to be enjoying the sunshine as friends at the beach. The image has a watermark that says "ChellyWood.com: free doll clothes patterns and more." The Madame Alexander doll wears a blue bikini that has been hand-sewn. Its fabric is dotted with little popsicles. The American Girl doll wears a hand-made felt shirt with nautical-print cotton shorts (also sewn by hand). Both girls wear DIY sandals to match.

African American Wellie Wishers doll, Kendall, poses in front of a handmade quilt dotted with applique hearts on a white background, framed in purple floral print. Each quilted heart is made of purple floral fabric. Little Kendall, the Wellie Wisher doll, models her handmade doll clothes, which include a sleeveless shirt made of pink felt with a matching pink elastic-waist "schoolgirl skirt" that's made of identical pink seersucker fabric dotted with tiny white polka dots. The doll's handmade shoes are a sandal made of craft foam and pink ribbons. The logo at the bottom of the photo reminds us to go to Chelly Wood dot com for free printable PDF sewing patterns for making dolls' clothes to fit dolls of many shapes and all different sizes.

The image shows a printable rectangular skirt pattern for dolls that measure 14 inches, 15 inches, or 16 inches tall. This skirt pattern is called the "short schoolgirl pattern" for dolls, and it's one of two patterns that have been designed to fit any number of different dolls that range in size between the American Girl company's Wellie Wisher doll size and the Hearts for Hearts girl dolls. There's a photograph of three different dolls wearing this skirt after it has been sewn using this sewing pattern for the "schoolgirls' short skirt": the Velvet doll from the Crissy doll line, the Consuelo doll from the Hearts4Hearts Girls, and Kendall from American Girl's Wellie Wisher line of dolls. This simple-to-sew elastic waist skirt pattern comes in two pieces which you must print, cut out, and tape together. This free pattern (pattern 1 from the two patterns required) also includes a pattern for making doll sandals to fit dolls in this 14" to 16" height range. The sandal measures 2 inches or 5 cm from heel to toe. It's one and one-quarter inches across at the widest point of the foot (3.2 cm). The sandal craft project uses black foam, another color of foam to form the sole, and either a ribbon or bias tape to form the strap. You could also use colored elastic to form the strap. This pattern is marked with "Creative Commons Attribution" which means you should acknowledge where the pattern came from if you wish to use it. The pattern also offers a watermark of the website ChellyWood.com, where you can also find tutorial videos showing you how to make the skirt and the sandals.
