Betty the Bus Driver (also known as Bumblebee from the DC Super Hero Girls comics series) stands beside a free doll clothes sewing pattern. The doll wears a dress shirt and jeans. The text says "free pattern" and "for 12 inch dolls." The ChellyWood LLC logo appears on this YouTube thumbnail. The accompanying video shows how to make either the doll's jeans or the doll's dress shirt, and it offers links to both a free A4 PDF sewing pattern and an American PDF sewing pattern for making the doll's ensemble.

An African American Creatable World doll models a handmade African print cotton outfit, including a shirt with a short skirt. The shirt is sleeveless, but running down the front of the shirt is red lace trim with a black quarter-inch wide ribbon running down the center of the lace trim, sort of like a button-front placket (but it doesn’t actually have any buttons). The African print fabric of the skirt matches the the fabric under the lace trim of the shirt. This African print cotton fabric is multicolor, incorporating red, blue, yellow, green, and black. The skirt is a simple elastic-waist style with a bit of flare. It extends to just above the doll’s knees. The doll’s shoes are lovely shiny red Mary Janes with teeny-tiny buckles. The text reads, "Free sewing Pattern!"

Bumble Bee, the DC Super Hero Girl, models handmade clothing in a purple diorama room with white wicker furniture. Her clothing consists of a pair of elastic waist pants and a felt shirt with lace straps. The felt shirt is bright blue, and the white lace straps trail down the front of the shirt (as well as the back of the shirt, although that's not shown in the image). The pants are multicolored with tiny blue tulips and blue diamonds as part of the print cotton fabric.
