A Vogue Ginny doll with dark brown hair models a pioneer-style long dress with shorter pinafore over the top. The text says "free pattern" and there's a ChellyWood.com logo in the corner. All is surrounded by a purple cotton fabric frame that's dotted with tiny white polka dots.

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

On a turquoise blue background, we read the words "free pattern" and beneath them, a tiny logo for ChellyWood.com (a website that offers hundreds of free printable PDF sewing patterns for making doll clothes to fit dolls of many shapes and sizes). There's also a photo of a blond-haired Strawberry Shortcake doll character wearing handmade pants and a handmade shirt.

Are you looking for the patterns? Scroll down to the second set of bullets. Today’s pants and shirt patterns first appeared on my website in March, on my little mini Elsa dolls, but I never made a tutorial video for making this particular pattern because they’re a lot like the pants and shirts I’ve made for Skipper, Barbie, and a number of other dolls. So … Continue reading Sew a little pair of pants and a felt shirt for Strawberry Shortcake dolls w/free patterns @ ChellyWood.com #DollClothesPatterns #Miniatures

The words "free pattern" are angled across a turquoise blue linen background, above the ChellyWood.com logo, and beside these is a Made to Move Barbie who carries a pretty white cotton purse with a yellow strap. The white cotton of the purse is decorated with a tiny fruits pattern. Her dress is made of the same white cotton "fruity" fabric, and the dress has cotton straps made of the same material. The skirt of the sundress is short. She wears yellow plastic sandals.

How to Choose Mix-and-Match Fabrics for a Doll’s Wardrobe @ ChellyWood.com #DollClothes #Fabrics

I had so much fun this weekend! Yesterday’s blog post gave you a bit of a preview, but here’s what happened in greater detail. A lot of people don’t know this, but I’m lactose intolerant. That means I can’t drink cows’ milk. (Don’t worry; I’m going to get to the fabric part! I promise!) However I can drink goats’ milk. And last spring a local … Continue reading How to Choose Mix-and-Match Fabrics for a Doll’s Wardrobe @ ChellyWood.com #DollClothes #Fabrics

The Chelly Wood doll points to a pink dress. In America, we would call this type of dress (that's sort of strappy at the shoulders and is intended to go over the top of a blouse) a "jumper," but in the UK they don't say "jumper" for this type of dress. The dress, which is very straight (not flared or A-line at all) is pink with tiny multi-colored polka dots.

On a turquoise blue linen background, a miniature Anna doll and a Mini Elsa doll from Disney's Frozen face one another. They are both wearing handmade skirts with tiny print fabrics and a soft pink felt jacket that has been embroidered along the bottom of the coat. The overlay says, "free pattern" and the ChellyWood.com logo appears in the lower left corner.

“How to Alter Doll Clothes Patterns” Class Update @ctpublishing #DollClothesPatterns #DollCollector

I’m a school librarian in my “day job,” so over spring break, I brainstormed with my editor at C&T Publishing’s Creative Spark online learning platform. I wondered why so many people were curious about my class, but so few people actually signed up for it. My editor and I decided that the general audience didn’t understand a key element of my class: how to re-size … Continue reading “How to Alter Doll Clothes Patterns” Class Update @ctpublishing #DollClothesPatterns #DollCollector
