#DIY #Tights for Fashion #Dolls

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

Images shows 8-inch Hasbro World of Love "Soul" doll wearing a renaissance costume, including a bi-colored pair of pants, a bi-colored vest, a white long-sleeved shirt, flannel boots, and a flannel hat. She is dressed to play the part of "Benvolio" in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Behind her is a wall that has been painted to look like arched doorways in a Renaissance setting. These doll clothes patterns are free and printable on Chelly Wood dot com, and video tutorials are available for free as well.

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

  If you ask me which doll was my all-time favorite as a child, it was my cousin’s Soul doll, from the Hasbro World of Love collection. Whenever my cousin Virginia and I got together, I would beg her to let me play with Soul. Why? That doll was just plain gorgeous! Her long eyelashes framed big eyes. Her chocolate skin was so unique among Barbie-like dolls … Continue reading #Hasbro’s #Soul #Doll Plays Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet @ chellywood.com
