The image shows a free pattern for a pair of doll shorts. The title on the shorts pattern says, "Free 18-inch dolls' Shorts Pattern" and it offers instructions for how to print the pattern, what seam allowances to use, and where to hem the garment. The header that accompanies this doll shorts pattern offers the dolls that can easily fit into this shorts pattern, stating, "Free Printable Shorts Pattern for 18-inch Dolls Like American Girl Doll, Vintage Crissy Dolls, and 18" Madame Alexander Dolls." These three dolls are pictured wearing the hand-made shorts, which use a pattern showing tiny nautical prints of anchors and little sailboats. The watermark on this free printable doll shorts pattern says, "ChellyWood.com: free patterns and tutorials." the pattern also displays the "Creative commons attribution" symbol, meaning that anyone is allowed to use this pattern for their own creative projects, but they must also mention that they got the pattern here, on ChellyWood.com.

The image shows American Girl doll Kaya wearing a hand-made bikini which includes the bikini top and the bikini bottoms. The overlay says "Doll Bikini part 1" and offers the URL "ChellyWood.com" as the location for the free pattern for this doll swimsuit. The pattern will fit most 18" dolls (18-inch dolls = apprx. 46 cm). That means this swimsuit pattern will fit Madame Alexander dolls as well as AG dolls. It's likely this free swimsuit pattern will also fit Journey Girls and similar sized dolls. Instructions for downloading and sewing together this free bikini pattern are found at ChellyWood.com along with hundreds of other doll clothes patterns for dolls of many shapes and sizes.
