Chelly designs doll clothes for the dolls that are made to ride Breyer Horses. Here’s where you’ll find those free patterns.
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
Yes, I did post this pattern last week too, but you’ll need this pattern, in order to make the bonnet we’re sewing this week. The bonnet is designed for the tiny 4.5-inch (11 cm) heads belonging to 8″ dolls, so it’s not likely that it will fit Monster High or Ever After High dolls (although the dress actually does fit those two doll bodies, as … Continue reading #Sew a Pioneer Bonnet for 8″ #Dolls w/ this free #printable pattern @ ChellyWood.com
Last week I gave you the pattern and tutorials for making the dress and drawstring purse that go with this ensemble, but wait! There’s more! This week I’m going to share the bonnet and cape patterns and tutorials. Granted, I already gave you the pattern for the bonnet last week, but I’ll re-post it for easy access this week, since you’ll need it to make … Continue reading Sew a #Pioneer bonnet for #miniature #dolls w/a free pattern @ ChellyWood.com
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

I can’t think of any fashion dolls that are too big or small to fit … Continue reading Sew a #miniature #Victorian drawstring purse for your #dolls w/ free pattern @ ChellyWood.com

To make it easy for you, I’ve posted a link to the pattern below as well: “Pioneer” style dress pattern for 8″ dolls As I said when I posted pictures on Monday, this dress pattern fits Monster High® dolls, Project MC2® dolls, Ever After High® dolls, World of Love™ dolls, Breyer® dolls, and the … Continue reading #EverAfterHigh or #MonsterHigh clothes #sewing patterns FREE @ ChellyWood.com #dollstagram
As As I said yesterday, I don’t approve of the body image projected onto little girls by the Monster High® and Ever After High® dolls, but since I’ve gotten requests for doll clothes to fit these strangely-proportioned dolls (and since I decided to cast a Monster High® doll as the apothecary in my stop-motion version of Romeo and Juliet), I’m going to confess something: Breyer® doll … Continue reading Free sewing patterns for #MonsterHigh, #EverAfterHigh, and many more #dolls @ ChellyWood.com
Isn’t that a lovely picture? This week I’ll be posting a pattern that was designed, more or less, for 8″ dolls like the Breyer® and World of Love dolls, but which I soon discovered will also fit my Project MC2® doll, regular-sized Monster High® dolls (not the big ones obviously), and Ever After High® dolls, along with a few others. Check out the photos below, and you’ll see … Continue reading Free sewing patterns for Breyer, #MonsterHigh, #EverAfterHigh and more #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!

On that page, you simply click on the image of an outfit you’d like to make, and it takes … Continue reading #DIY Pants #Tutorial Video for #Dolls @ ChellyWood.com
This wraps up my Halloween sewing projects for this year. Earlier I showed you how to make a cat costume for fashion dolls, a ghost costume for miniature dolls, and now I’m bringing this segment to a close with this adorable jack-o’-lantern Halloween candy bucket or candy bag. It’s made of felt and ribbon, with just a touch of embroidery floss. Frankly, it’s so easy to … Continue reading Make a #Crafty #Halloween #Pumpkin Candy Bucket or Bag
Here’s my free, printable sewing pattern for making a tiny ghost Halloween costume to fit those eensy-weensy little dolls, like Kelly®, Chelsea®, Polly Pocket®, and even some of those 1:12 scale dollhouse dolls. On the pattern, you’ll notice that there’s an arrow pointing to the ghost’s eyes. Well, I’ve adjusted where these eye holes are on the pattern, but I must be honest here; I … Continue reading #GhostStories abound with a #Dolls ghost costume #pattern
