This image shows four different fabrics that remind us of knitted sweaters. The top fabric is ivory colored, the next fabric down is a rich burgundy color, the third fabric down is off-white, and the bottom fabric is sort of a peach color. The words above this say, "sweater fabric" and the whole thumbnail image is framed by a turquoise blue linen fabric.

This image shows Project MC Squared Camryn Coyle doll dressed in a green Christmas dress. The dress has lace trim at the sleeves and at the bottom of the skirt, as well as a Santa-style red ribbon belt with tiny yellow buckle. Under her dress, the doll wears lacy bloomers and a pair of elf boots. She's standing in a North Pole scene, complete with snowy hills, a sleigh full of toys, and a tiny toy train running on tracks nearby.

Here we see a Project MC Squared Camryn Coyle doll modeling a red Christmas dress in a North Pole diorama. Behind her is a Santa's sleigh filled with presents, and beyond that, the snowy hills are dotted with pine trees. In the foreground, there's a tiny toy train running along a little train track, delivering miniature presents. The doll's dress is made of red cotton fabric with a red and white striped cotton petticoat. Her belt is made of white fur, and her sleeves are lacy. She wears little black elf boots.
