The image shows a Disney Princess Ariel doll modeling a pair of hand-stitched, handmade shorts with an elastic waist. The shorts are made of jersey fabric with a girl-power print in the colors of white, blue, and fluorescent pink. Overlying text says, "Let's sew doll shorts!" and there's a needle and thread that connects to the letter "S" in "sew" and seems to point (with a white arrow) toward the shorts. The watermark reminds us to go to ChellyWood.com for our free printable PDF sewing patterns and tutorial videos for making these doll shorts.

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.

The image shows a Mattel Made-to-Move Barbie modeling handmade shorts and a white tank top. She stands in a decorative diorama with a fall harvest theme. There are autumn leaves of orange and yellow scattered around at her feet. There's a wishing well nearby and a white metal bucket. The 11.5 inch Mattel Barbie doll leans against a stack of baled hay. She wears a white tank top that has been delicately embroidered with a long row of feather stitches along the collar of the shirt. She also wears red shorts that have a tiny white polka dot pattern and a pair of red rubber boots. She appears to be out working in her garden, perhaps getting water from the well. Her black hair is done up in a pony tail. The doll is an Asian-looking Barbie doll, whose name is Miko, Kira, Dana, Becky,, or Nikki (depending on variations in the Barbie story line). The watermark on this image offers the URL ChellyWood.com, where you can find FREE printable sewing patterns to fit this Asian Made-to-Move Mattel Barbie and other similar-sized fashion dolls.
