On a turquoise blue linen background, we see a photo framed in purple of a Petite Barbie with a dark chocolate complexion modeling a purple and pink sundress. Over the top of the photo are the words "free pattern" and beside the photo to its left is the ChellyWood.com logo (a bodice pattern outlined in turquoise blue, overlapped by the name Chelly Wood in purple letters).

For your free patterns and tutorial videos, please scroll down to the second set of bullets. Like yesterday’s blog post, this outfit appears in my Romeo and Juliet with Dolls stop motion video.

How do you box your doll clothes for mailing (shipping)? #Handmade #DollClothesPatterns

The image shows a typical fashion doll like Barbie wearing a handmade skirt of holiday fabric and a blouse made of solid color yellow fabric. The skirt appears to be made of shamrock print cotton fabric, but there are tiny yellow shamrocks in the print, which matches the yellow of her blouse. The logo reminds us to go to ChellyWood.com for free printable PDF sewing patterns to make our 4th of July or other holiday outfits for doll clothes.

Can a modern Made-to-Move Barbie wear “Tressy” doll clothes? #DollClothesPatterns #SewingProjects

Please take a close look at View 2 in the Simplicity Tressy doll clothes pattern #5731, in the image above. I was very curious about this frilly little blouse that the doll is wearing in View 2, and I especially wondered if Tressy (a 12 inch doll made by American Character, Inc.) could clothing swap with my Made-to-Move Barbies. So to nobody’s surprise, I sewed … Continue reading Can a modern Made-to-Move Barbie wear “Tressy” doll clothes? #DollClothesPatterns #SewingProjects

With a close-up photo of Made to Move Barbie's Bermuda shorts from the back, we can see the double-stitching detail around the pocket, the fact that the tank top is lined with a burgundy-on-white print cotton fabric, and the tank top closes at the back with red Velcro. The words that slant across this image sideways say, "make room for a pocket." The ChellyWood.com logo appears in the lower right hand side of the image.

In the middle of a quilted frame, Simplicity 7928 craft pattern (for making Barbie and Ken doll clothes) is shown, with a bright blue arrow pointing at View 2, which shows Barbie in a Hawaiian shirt, a summer swimsuit top, and a pair of Bermuda shorts.

Within the square frame of a quilted image, we see a photo of a Made to Move Barbie wearing a handmade kilt-style wrap around skirt, made of green plaid fabric, side-by-side with the image from the cover of Simplicity pattern 8281 from 1977. The real doll and the drawn image from the pattern are standing in identical poses, with feet spread slightly apart and hands at their sides. Both wear a tee shirt with the wrap skirts.

On a turquoise blue frame, a Barbie models her pretty yellow doll clothes and her black witch's hat. She looks like she's ready to attend a Halloween party, but she's almost too sunshine-pretty to be dressed for Halloween! The words on the framed image say "free patterns," and "Chelly Wood."

The image shows a Teresa doll from Mattel wearing a handmade quinceanera dress made of pink cotton with an overlaid pink tulle layer that uses a crisscross gathered rucheting method of making the skirt quite full. Also, the bodice is dotted with tiny white beaded flowers and there are matching tiny white beads where the tulle of the skirt's top layer has been gathered. The overlay says, "free patterns" and reminds us that this dress can be made using the free PDF sewing pattern and tutorial video found at Chelly Wood dot com.
