  Last week I showed you how to design your own bodice. Did you notice, in that tutorial, that Moana’s bodice was decorated with a strip of blue? What was that blue stuff? It was bias tape! I often recommend learning to sew with felt, if you’re an absolute beginner. But the drawback to making dolls’ clothes out of felt is the fray factor. Felt is … Continue reading How to #Sew Bias Tape

The image shows two different Project MC2 dolls: Bryden Bandweth doll and the Camryn Coyle doll. In the winter-scene diorama, the Camryn Coyle doll stands before a Christmas sleigh full of tiny presents. In front of her is a tiny train running on a train track. She wears boots beneath her outfits. There are two of these holiday dioramas, and in the top one (upper left-hand corner), she wears a red holiday dress adorned with wispy fur and lace. It's a red dress with a candy-cane red and white striped petticoat. In the bottom winter scene, the Camryn Coyle doll wears a green holiday dress with a ribbon belt that looks like a Santa belt. Beneath this green floral-print dress skirt, she wears eyelet bloomers. In the bottom right corner, there's a garden-style diorama with a sandy ground. The Cameron Coyle doll models a yellow summer top and easy-sew summer skirt with a ruffle. She stands barefoot in the sand with a lovely wrought iron curly-patterned metal gate behind her. In the upper-right-hand corner, we find the Bryden Bandweth doll in a pirate suit, on a beach, with sand at her feet and a beach behind her. She wears a felt tricorne hat with a skull an crossed bones embroidered on it. She also wears Colonial style shirt, vest, and 3/4 length pants. She has a pair of colonial felt boots with buckles on her feet. In the lower right-hand corner is a different garden scene with flowers and a bridge. (It's actually a duplicate of Monet's Green Bridge painting--the one that's on display at the Orsay museum in Paris, France.) Braden Bandwidth wears a floral long-sleeve top and trousers. In the bottom center is another winter scene (without the Christmas sleigh) and in this scene, Brayden Bandwith wears a fancy floral dress with a silk purse. The dress has a lace petticoat and lace sleeves. All of these images are marked with the ChellyWood.com watermark which states "Free printable sewing patterns and more." In face, all of these outfits come with free printable sewing patterns and tutorial videos that show you how to make the dolls' clothes.
