A precious little Wellie Wishers doll wears a pretty white pinafore over her blue check gingham pioneer dress. The text reads "free pattern" and the Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in the lower left corner. All of this is framed by a purple cotton fabric with tiny white polka dots.

Within a turquoise blue frame, we read the words "free pattern" above the Chelly Wood dot com logo, and both of these text features sit beside a photo of a Wellie Wishers doll from American Girl doll company, wearing a handmade white cotton pinafore.

A square cotton fabric background with tiny white polka dots surrounds the image of a short-sleeved white cotton shirt dotted with teeny-tiny multi-colored daisy-shaped flowers. Over the top of the shirt, tilted to the left, are the words "free pattern" and in the lower left corner, is a logo for ChellyWood.com, a website that offers free printable PDF sewing patterns to fit dolls of many shapes and all different sizes.

Here we see a turquoise blue linen border around a photo of a vintage Ideal Velvet doll, looking at her from the back, regarding the jeans she's wearing from the waist down. Her long hair has been pulled up, and we can see that these are jeans or dungarees with a high waist, like the kinds of pants or jeans that were popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The doll stands with her back to us. The words above the photo say "free pattern" and below that is the logo for Chelly Wood dot com.

In this graphic, we see a BFC Ink doll standing so she faces a little to our right. She wears a pink sleeveless crop top shirt (which is also reversible) and a pair of indigo blue denim cropped pants or capris. The left side of the graphic shows a white sewing machine. There are words at the bottom of the sewing machine which say, "Let's sew..." followed by "a summer outfit for BFC Ink dolls."

The image shows a 1970s vintage Crissy doll from Ideal Toy Corporation wearing handmade doll clothes on the right side of a text box. The doll is dressed in a yellow square-neck shirt with shoulder-length sleeves that end in lace. The bottom of her shirt is also trimmed in lace. Beneath the lace, we see the elastic waist of her denim capri pants. She wears denim sneakers that match. The text box contains a graphic image of a sewing machine that says "Let's sew" and beneath this the phrase is completed with... ["Let's sew] ... a pair of capris for Crissy." At the bottom of the combined text box and photograph, the URL ChellyWood.com is provided.
