This Do-a-Pick game thumbnail shows a 1970s Ken doll wearing "Shore Lines" doll clothes with flippers and a windbreaker that zips down the front. The text in the thumbnail says, "ken doll boyfriend bribe." There's a colorful yell, blue, and green rainbow or cloud behind a cell phone that has the Ken image on it. All of this is on a purple background.

In this photo, a Mattel Ken (or Ryan) doll models a handmade dinner jacket made of felt. It has two buttons in front, and beneath his coat or dinner jacket, he wears a collar shirt and tie. Beside him on his left is the bust of a famous musical composer. On his right, a climbing vine seems to grow up a marble column. There's a window framed in purple on one wall behind him. The logo for ChellyWood.com appears in the lower left corner of the photograph.

The pattern above (also available here) not only fits GI Joe action figures, but it also fits the new Broad Ken dolls. I recently received a question from one of my followers about the differences between Broad Ken and Original Ken dolls. This is an important question, because the tinier the doll clothes, the more essential it is to get every inch–or in this case … Continue reading #Sewing Measurements for Broad Ken #Dolls @ ChellyWood.com

The image shows a GI Joe doll wearing a pair of handmade shorts or boxers. Behind him, on a spackled wall, is a classical painting, and under that is a work desk with computer, printer, and an office-style desk lamp. A folding chair is pushed up to the desk. G.I. Joe seems to look off into the distance, modeling his argyle shorts/ underwear with a nonchalant look on his scarred fact. The GIjoe action figure is African American, with sculpted abs and bare feet. The overlay offers the website where the free printable sewing patterns for making these shorts can be found: ChellyWood.com.

His plastic fedora is designed to look like it's made of straw, and he wears it tilted at an angle. Even shoe-less in the sand, he looks very dapper!

The image shows a GI Joe action figure seated near a beach. He's reclining barefoot on a wicker chair, and he looks very dapper in a 1950's style hat. He wears a white long-sleeved shirt with a collar and tie, and his legs are crossed. He wears jeans to add a casual "beach attire" look to his handsome demeanor.
