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 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.

The image shows a modern African American or African fashion doll wearing a handmade wedding gown. The bodice of the dress is overlaid with off-white lace, and there's a layer of cream-covered lace over the top of the cotton skirting. The straps of the dress are also made of lacy off-white ribbon.

The image shows a Made-to-Move Barbie dressed like Audrey Hepburn from the early 1960's. She wears a black turtleneck with black capri pants and black plastic flats. She's seated on a tiny 1:6 scale folding chair. One arm is slung over the back of the chair, and the other arm is extended for balance. She is lifting one of her feet high into the air in front of her, while the other leg is bent with her toes just resting on a concrete floor. The wall behind her is white, creating a sharp contrast to the black clothing and silver chair. If you'd like to make this outfit, click on the link provided in the caption.

Here we see an image of a Made-to-Move Barbie dressed all in black and seated on a folding chair. She poses like an acrobat. The overlay states, "Audrey Hepburn 1960's Pants Project" and there's an image of a pants sewing pattern visible at the side of the doll (sort of superimposed on the background of turquoise blue fabric).
