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."

Dora the Explorer's little friend Alana stands big-eyed in a North Pole diorama. Snow is all around her, and Santa's sled, loaded with toys and packages, is right behind her where she stands in the snow. In front of Alana, we see a tiny train on a miniature train track which carries more packages toward Alana, who looks a lot like an elf in her handmade green Christmas dress made of a green felt bodice and a green floral cotton skirt with eyelet trim.

Isn’t that the cutest little elf dress in the video’s cover shot? I really enjoyed making that dress, and frankly, it was relatively straightforward to sew. On my difficulty scale, I’d give it about three flowers (pretty average), in terms of difficulty/easiness. Now this video demonstrates different ways to embellish a dress with ric rac, eyelet ruffles, lace, bias tape, and even a feather boa. … Continue reading Make #Christmas elf clothes w/free #sewing patterns @ ChellyWood.com #Dolls

What’s going on at the #NorthPole? Check out these little #dolls:

I’ve been learning how to use my Camtasia software, and this video gave me an opportunity to experiment. I’m not 100% happy with the way the video turned out. Hopefully you’ll find it a little entertaining though. Truthfully, I like Windows Movie Maker better than Camtasia. It’s more user-friendly, but it doesn’t have as many bells and whistles as Camtasia. Not only that, but Windows … Continue reading What’s going on at the #NorthPole? Check out these little #dolls:
