The patterns for the costume shown above have actually been some of my most popular for Ken and other 1:6 scale male dolls.

What #Magical Places Did Chelly Visit While on #Vacation at #Yellowstone?

I’ve been posting links to the patterns and tutorials for lots of complete outfits lately. I’m doing that for two reasons: I’ve been enjoying some vacation time with my lovely family. I’m busy re-organizing my website to make it easier to find patterns. When a person takes the time to do a little vacationing with family, it’s amazing what wonderful things they see and do! … Continue reading What #Magical Places Did Chelly Visit While on #Vacation at #Yellowstone?

For my regular followers, I realize you’ve seen this one before. Sorry! But my sewing room diorama wouldn’t be complete without my adjustable doll ironing board.

Just click that link above, and it’ll take you right … Continue reading #DollFurniture DIY Projects in #Miniature @ ChellyWood.com

#BarbieDoll #DressForm DIY for Your #Dolling Diorama @ ChellyWood.com

Isn’t this a cute little dress form? I bought it on eBay (see link for seller) for a very reasonable price, but I didn’t really like the color. Its original color was black with a gold stand. As I wanted a red-white-and-turquoise theme for my sewing room, I decided a can of spray paint was all it would take to turn this “Barbie™ dress form” into … Continue reading #BarbieDoll #DressForm DIY for Your #Dolling Diorama @ ChellyWood.com

Please forgive the poor quality of this video; it’s one of the first doll diorama tutorials I ever created.
