Here you’ll find patterns to fit Mattel’s Stacie, little sister of Barbie. Incidentally, the 7″ doll patterns also fit Breyer Dolls and Hasbro’s World of Love dolls.
Last week I showed you how to make my Colonial hat (or pirate hat). This week I’m going to show you how to make the vest that goes with it. A vest is one of the easiest patterns to sew, as it doesn’t require snaps or buttons or zippers. In fact, it was one of the first things I learned to make for dolls, back … Continue reading Easy #Sewing Projects for #Kids: #Dolls’ Vest w/free pattern @ ChellyWood.com
The video above shows you how to make the Victorian-style, “Red Riding Hood” cape that goes with the pioneer dress that I posted last week. I’ve been posting all kinds of free patterns, so you can make the whole ensemble. Each pattern comes with a free tutorial (like the one above) showing you how to make it. Here are the two basic patterns I’ve posted … Continue reading #DIY #Victorian cape for small #Dolls w/free pattern
This is a sort of “Little Red Riding Hood”-style hooded cape pattern for small dolls like the Breyer® rider dolls and similar-sized dolls. Generally speaking, this hood will fit most 8″ dolls, but I think it also looks good on some of the Mattel® small child dolls, like Chelsea® and Stacie® dolls. You could probably get away with it on Skipper®, but it may seem … Continue reading Sew a #crafty #Dolls’ #RedRidingHood cape w/ free pattern @ ChellyWood.com
I posted this doll bonnet pattern yesterday, but for easy-access, here’s the link again: Pattern for Bonnet and Pioneer Dress It’s easy to print this pattern using the instructions found in my “How to Print Patterns” video, although I do need to update that video, as we no longer use the Old Pattern Page as much as we do the Gallery these days. Please note: you … Continue reading #DIY Bonnet for small #Dolls also fits #MomokoDoll
Here’s the Victorian-style drawstring purse or bag tutorial I’ve been promising! This little purse is so tiny and cute! I made mine out of satin with a knit lining, but there’s a lot you can do to embellish a little bag like this. Imagine it with beads or a lace opening or tassels, for example. Below you’ll find the free printable sewing pattern for the drawstring … Continue reading FREE drawstring bag #sewing pattern and tutorial @ ChellyWood.com #crafty #dolls

A while back, one of my followers wrote to me with the following suggestion: “Tell me about Breyer® dolls, please… Before coming to the site I had never heard of them, but now I’m curious.” So in response to this faithful fan, I thought I’d do a quick blog post, explaining a little about the Breyer® company and their charming doll collection. Breyer® is most … Continue reading What are Breyer® dolls, and how big are they? #Miniatures #ModelHorses #Horses
This is, by far, one of my easiest sewing projects here on ChellyWood.com. It’s true that I posted this video back in October, as part of the Halloween cat costume project, but these tights would be great with a Christmas ballerina costume, a holiday dress, or just as a fun afternoon project to do with kids during the Christmas break! This easy DIY project does … Continue reading Here’s an easy #sewing project for #crafty #kids @ ChellyWood.com!
About a month ago, I got an email from a regular visitor to ChellyWood.com. She was wondering how to make tights for dolls. That’s when I started planning my Halloween costumes for fashion dolls, so as I made plans, I wanted to be sure to include a “DIY tights” tutorial for that particular person who requested it. In this tutorial, I show you how simple it … Continue reading #DIY #Tights for Fashion #Dolls
This free sewing pattern will fit a lot of different flat-footed dolls with smallerish feet, like Skipper™, Made-to-Move Barbie™, Tall Barbie™, Liv Dolls from SpinMaster™, and even Momoko Dolls™ (which means it also fits some Blythe™, Pullip™, and Obitsu™ BJD’s). I’m working on a similar pattern to fit my Lammily™ dolls, but I don’t have it perfected yet. Once I do, I’ll let you know. … Continue reading #MadeToMove #Barbie and #MomokoDoll shoe pattern is free @ ChellyWood.com #dolls
In my dolly version of Romeo and Juliet, I cast Soul from Hasbro’s World of Love dolls as my Benvolio character. Soul is a fabulous little 8″ doll from the 1970’s, and her clothes will fit Breyer™ dolls as well as Mattel’s early 8″ Stacie™ dolls. I’d venture to guess most 8″ dolls will be able to fit into these patterns. Here are links to … Continue reading Free printable #dollclothes patterns for 8-inch #dollhouse #dolls @ ChellyWood.com

Last week I gave you the free, printable sewing pattern for a full western outfit, including the shirt (shown above) and jeans. This pattern, which can be easily downloaded from my Doll Clothes Patterns page, was specifically designed to fit Veterinarian Laura, my daughter’s 8-inch (approx. 200 mm) Breyer doll. However a fan recently sent me a message saying that these Breyer/World of Love doll … Continue reading Sew a #Western Shirt for #Breyer, Stacie, or Other 8″ Dolls @ ChellyWood.com w/FREE #SewingPatterns
