The thumbnail image shows a purple patch sewn onto a turquoise cloth. The words "doll clothes sewing chat" are written in the center of the purple patch. Floating in a circle around the patch are graphics of various sewing notions, from scissors, to a tape measure, to bobbins, to thread, and more. This feature on Chelly Wood dot com, is an open discussion about a sewing concept. The article will begin with a definition of the sewing concept, and then a discussion question will follow. This is a great place for people to ask questions about and/or give advice on sewing concepts related to making doll clothes.

Which dolls do you have trouble finding shoes for? #DollShoes #DollCollectors

Yesterday I posted the image above on this blog post offering free doll clothes sewing patterns for my 9 and 1/2 inch Moana fashion doll. But did you notice her shoes? They don’t fit her very well… Take a close look at the image on the left, and you’ll see that these little red Mary Janes have a very loose “strap” on them. That’s because … Continue reading Which dolls do you have trouble finding shoes for? #DollShoes #DollCollectors

The text says, "Shoes for Ken" and it displays (left to right, top to bottom) a black pair of work boots, a pair of sneakers that look similar to Vans, a pair of Reebok style Ken sneakers, a pair of bright blue wingtip style shoes with gold laces, a pair of rust colored sneakers with angled white stripes, and a pair of men's mules or clogs.

Ken shoes! Let’s talk about Ken shoes, accessories, and fashions, old and new… #VintageKen #DollShoes

I grew up in the 1970’s, when Ken dolls were few and far between on the shelves in stores. Even harder to find was any type of fashion for Ken dolls. And based on the kinds of emails I get relatively frequently, it’s still a lot harder to find clothes and accessories for Ken than it is to find clothes and accessories for Barbie. Today … Continue reading Ken shoes! Let’s talk about Ken shoes, accessories, and fashions, old and new… #VintageKen #DollShoes

A woman's fingers place tiny shoes on a cylindrical platform or plinth. The shoes include a pair of rose colored pumps, a pair of hot pink Mary Janes, and a pair of purple oxford shoes. This image accompanies an article on Chelly Wood dot com, which discusses the tiny shoes for dolls both in present day and in history.

Doll shoes for small dolls… Do you make ’em or buy ’em? Any favorites? #DollCollector #VintageBarbie

As a gift for her young neighbor, my mother-in-law recently knitted the cute little doll shoes/slippers that you see in the image at the top of today’s blog post, and it got me all nostalgic about doll shoes. Do you remember getting “Little Extras” doll shoes or “Foot Notes” shoes or “Shoes N Boots” packages, back when you were a kid? I mean, the  minute … Continue reading Doll shoes for small dolls… Do you make ’em or buy ’em? Any favorites? #DollCollector #VintageBarbie

Yup! It’s time once again to pay Uncle Sam!

The thumbnail shows a woman's hand holding up a tiny little doll with question marks coming away from the tiny doll. The doll's eyes look left, toward the woman (who is out of sight). The text reads, "Can you help me identify this little cutie pie?"

Can you help me identify this MGA 2021 Made in China African American doll? #LittleMermaid #Toys

I’m starting the New Year with some dolly clean-up projects… Recently I found some doll shoes wrapped up in a plastic bag full of various toys (including dollar store trinkets and Happy Meal gadget toys), and I bought it for $2.50 at the Goodwill, just because it had the two pairs of shoes, which were a heck of a find! — A pair of turquoise … Continue reading Can you help me identify this MGA 2021 Made in China African American doll? #LittleMermaid #Toys

About a year ago, I found this lovely lady at my local Goodwill store, in Twin Falls, Idaho. She needed some TLC, and I was happy to give her the love she needed.

Doll boots can be a lot of fun to dress your doll in, when you’re making winter raincoats and ponchos for them to wear in your fall dioramas. But if you’ve ever tried to buy vintage Barbie boots, you’ll probably already be familiar with this little problem: Some sellers on eBay are experts at hiding the flaws in their products. Then, when you buy it … Continue reading The Woes of Buying Doll Boots, Skates, and High-tops on eBay #DollCollector #DollClothesPatterns

Here we see an Elsa Disney Princess Toddler doll wearing a handmade skirt and sleeveless top designed by Chelly Wood, the doll clothing designer, YouTuber, and writer. The top and skirt are made of the same London Print fabric. The skirt has an elastic waist and is long enough to go just below the doll's knee. The background on this thumbnail is a purple cotton fabric with tiny white polka dots. The text reads "free pattern" and the Chelly Wood logo appears in the lower left corner of the thumbnail image.
