With a turquoise blue background, two photos of the same skirt are shown under the words "free pattern" and the ChellyWood.com logo. the photo on the left shows an Ideal Tammy doll or vintage Pedigree Sindy doll modeling handmade doll clothes that include a summer tank top and a three tier skirt. The photo on the right is a close-up of the three-tier skirt, which appears to be made of two different fabrics: the top layer is a pink fabric; the middle layer is a white cotton fabric with multicolored polka dots including different shades of pink, grey, and turquoise blue dots; the bottom layer of the skirt is a pink ruffle made of the same pink cotton solid-colored fabric as the top section of the skirt. Under the skirt, the doll wears silver cowboy boots.

As the heading for today’s blog post states, “Not all Skipper patterns are alike!” You see, Skipper has undergone quite a few changes over time.

The image shows a typical fashion doll like Barbie wearing a handmade skirt of holiday fabric and a blouse made of solid color yellow fabric. The skirt appears to be made of shamrock print cotton fabric, but there are tiny yellow shamrocks in the print, which matches the yellow of her blouse. The logo reminds us to go to ChellyWood.com for free printable PDF sewing patterns to make our 4th of July or other holiday outfits for doll clothes.
