A Judy Littlechap doll which wears a handmade swimsuit stands beside a vintage-looking sewing pattern for making a fashion doll's wardrobe. Either the doll is quite tall or the pattern is small because they are very out-of-proportion with one another. The frame is a quilt made of turquoise blue and purple fabrics. The chellywood.com logo appears alongside the photo of the doll with the sewing pattern for making doll clothes.

Framed by a purple and turquoise blue quilt, we see the Simplicity 1372 doll clothes pattern, which fits Ginny dolls (vintage Vogue Ginny) and muffy dolls, with someone's handwriting written over the top stating "1955 copyright". Also, a "spotlight" image has enlarged View 6 from the pattern, showing a close-up of a little vintage Vogue Ginny doll with a rose in her curly blond hair. The doll's arms are partly raised, and she wears a bright pink dress with tiny white polka dots, white lace trim, and a big pink ribbon (which is tied around her waist). The ChellyWood.com logo is found alongside the cover art for the Simplicity 1372 doll clothes patterns envelope.
