Please visit ChellyWood.com for FREE printable sewing patterns for dolls of many shapes and sizes. Image shows a Made-to-Move Barbie wearing a hand-made quinceañera style ball gown with a lacy one-shoulder bodice. The doll stands in a 1:6 scale room complete with a painting on the wall, a wicker table, and a wicker chair. The wall paper has a speckled look to it. The floor of the doll's diorama looks like hard wood. Atop the wicker table is a porcelain tea set in 1:6 scale, with Barbie-pink flowers decorating it. The handles of the cups and teapot look like they are golden. The made-to-move Barbie poses with one leg extended and her toes pointed like a ballerina. Her arms are open wide, welcoming the viewer into her Barbie doll house. The overlay says, "ChellyWood.com" and below that, it says, "FREE printable sewing patterns for dolls of many shapes and sizes."

How to Buy #Crafty #Fabric for Making #Dolls Clothes

I was recently at the dentist office, and while visiting with the receptionist there, I mentioned that I make doll clothes. “I wish I could do that!” she said. So I told her about my sewing tutorials and explained that she can easily learn how to sew using YouTube tutorials just like mine. “But I don’t know how to buy material,” she said.

Free #SewEasy pants pattern for TallBarbie #Fashionista #Dolls

If this pattern looks familiar, that’s because we saw it earlier, during the holiday season. It includes my Christmas stocking pattern and my elf hat pattern. For this week’s retro throwback ensemble, though, I’m featuring this pattern because of its bell-bottom style (or boot cut style) jeans or pants. If you look back at yesterday’s post, you’ll see how cute those bell bottoms look on … Continue reading Free #SewEasy pants pattern for TallBarbie #Fashionista #Dolls

Image shows Mattel's Made to Move Barbie wearing a hand-made shirt (decorated with peace signs) and hand-made jeans. The doll, who has blond hair and a lovely tan complexion, sits in a wicker chair beside a wall. She crosses one leg over the other, highlighting how her little lime green boots are poking out from under the extra-long boot-cut pants. On the wall beside her hangs a painting of Monet's Notre Dame Cathedral. The doll's blond curls cascade over her shoulders and her expression is content.

Image shows Mattel's Ken doll wearing a traditional Kwanzaa hat with a green geometric-patterned shirt and mustard yellow pants. The female fashion doll standing beside him is a "Photographer" doll from the Lammily doll company. She has a curly afro hairstyle, and she wears a hand-made poncho with a colorful African-style print. Her skirt is red with a sparkly overlay of tulle. Behind them, on the wall, is a painting of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, and the furniture behind them consists of a wicker loveseat and a dark wood china hutch (which houses both elegant pieces of china and a collection of books). The dolls appear to be in close contact, with the male Ken doll placing his arm lightly around the female Lammily doll. Overlay says, "ChellyWood.com: free printable sewing patterns and tutorials."
