#SewingBlogger Thursday: pleated skirt for 28-in #Barbie

This is the tutorial video to accompany yesterday’s free printable sewing patterns. A word to the wise: knife pleats are somewhat challenging because they require precise measurements, so if you’re a beginner, you might want to make this skirt instead. It’s a little easier. Today’s post will be brief; I’m behind on sewing projects for next week, so you’ll have to excuse my brevity. Continue reading #SewingBlogger Thursday: pleated skirt for 28-in #Barbie

The image shows Made to Move Barbies with a regular Barbie doll in a fall harvest / garden diorama scene. This diorama photo comes from ChellyWood.com, a website offering free printable sewing patterns for Barbie and many other dolls. This diorama scene has fall leaves, a wheelbarrow full of harvested vegetables from a garden, and a stack of hay bales with an apple cider barrel behind them. In the distance a garden has a river running through it with a bridge over the water. In front of all this, the three Barbies stand holding hands, facing the camera in hand-sewn doll clothes. Their outfits include (first Barbie doll) a white tank top edged in red stitching, a pair of red shorts with white polka dots, and a pair of irrigation boots; (second Barbie doll) a sunflower-printed dress with fluttery sleeves and a gathered skirt that is edged in burgundy rick-rack, having a pinafore of yellow that matches its petticoat of yellow; (the third Barbie doll) wears a handmade bright green felt shirt with green lace straps and green lace edging the top of the shirt along with a lace-edged floral mini-skirt and green go-go boots. The overlay offers the website, "ChellyWood.com" which is a website where you can find free printable sewing patterns and tutorials fo r making each of these Barbie doll outfits.

Happy Halloween to those of you who celebrate it on October 31st! Just in time for the harvest season, here’s the tutorial to go with yesterday’s pattern.

The image shows a Made-to-Move Barbie standing on a leaf-strewn lawn with a white bucket beside her. She leans against two bales of hay. She wears red rubber boots, a pair of red shorts with white polka dots, and a white sleeveless shirt that has been embroidered with tiny feather stitches around the neck. The neck's stitching is red to match her shorts and boots. She stands behind a wishing well. Would you like to make the outfit shown in this image? If so, please click on the link in the caption.

Does that doll’s outfit look familiar? I’m guessing it probably doesn’t, even though it should. Adding embellishments to a garment (rickrack trim, a swatch of lace, bias tape, or embroidery) can magically transform the look of a garment! So let’s say you have an old stand-by pattern that you already know how to sew. You’ve made three or four outfits in different colors and prints … Continue reading #Fall #Harvest Separates for Barbie and Other Fashion #Dolls w/FREE #Patterns @ ChellyWood.com

This document is a free printable sewing pattern for an apron that will fit most 11.5 inch dolls. The apron can be used as a pinafore, as it does wrap around a doll's waist and tie at the back, but the straps of the apron are fixed in place, much like a full-dress pinafore. This apron has functional pockets and is also available to make as a reversible apron. It will fit dolls in the size range of Barbies, Liv Dolls, Momoko dolls, Queens of Africa, Francie, Midge, and many similar-sized fashion dolls. This apron comes with a free tutorial showing you how to make it as a pinafore to be worn over our "harvest" style sunflower dress. Visit ChellyWood.com to get the free tutorial videos and the pattern for the dress as well.

#Dolls’ #Harvest Apron #Sewing Pattern @ ChellyWood.com

This is the pattern for the “harvest apron” project that I showed in yesterday’s preview photos. It’s the same pattern that we used to make the reversible hairdresser’s apron (published here on ChellyWood.com in July of 2017). However in the latest project, I’ll be using this pattern as a one-sided apron–almost more of a pinafore–over the top of my sunflower dress for 11.5-inch fashion dolls … Continue reading #Dolls’ #Harvest Apron #Sewing Pattern @ ChellyWood.com

The image shows a Made to Move Barbie with blond hair and olive complexion standing in a fall setting. Before her is a tiny white wheelbarrow filled with harvest vegetables. At her side are bales of hay. She wears a pretty dress dotted with sunflowers on a burgundy fabric. The dress is trimmed with yellow rickrack. Over the top of this cap-sleeved dress is a sunflower-yellow apron with big pockets. She appears to be holding her skirt out to demonstrate its fullness. A smattering of fall leaves are at her feet. Behind her is a pond with trees that seem to be in various stages of changing from summer to fall foliage colors.

Isn’t that an adorable harvest scene? This “harvest dress and pinafore” was part of a little girl’s birthday gift that I made. The pinafore is actually a re-design of the reversible hairdresser’s apron pattern that I made and posted back in 2016. (Click here for a link to that project.) This week I’m going to focus on the pinafore, as it can be complicated if … Continue reading #Sew a Pinafore-style #Apron for Fashion #Dolls w/free pattern@ ChellyWood.com
