In this thumbnail image of the 1980's Skipper doll clothes pattern gallery, we see a platinum blonde Skipper from the 1980s wearing four different outfits: a green skirt with white top and a green plaid scarf. Then there's a short yellow sun dress. Then we have a brown check sundress that's rather long with a ruffle. Next we see vintage Skipper from the 1980's wearing jeans and a striped T-shirt.

Let’s Do a Pick at an Outdoor Music Festival #DoApick #vintageDollCollector

When I was a kid, whenever it was playtime with dolls, we would lay out all our dolls and their clothing items. Then we would “do a pick.” That’s where you take turns picking which doll or dolls you’ll play with and which outfits or accessories you’ll get to play with. Your playtime companion would take a turn picking her dolls, clothes, and accessories too. … Continue reading Let’s Do a Pick at an Outdoor Music Festival #DoApick #vintageDollCollector

In this very close shot of Judy Littlechap's face, we see that she has light blue eyes, her eyebrows are in tact, and her lips are a deep grapefruit color. Her nose is sligly dirty, and there's a single spot of dirt on her left cheek, but her cheeks' blush is rosy and natural looking.

Meet Judy Littlechap — a rare find at Goodwill! #DollCollector #DollClothesPatterns

I had never heard of Judy Littlechap, when I stumbled across her at my local Goodwill (a second-hand store). She was nude in a plastic bag, marked $2.99, but the date on her backside said she was from 1963. At first I was hesitant to buy her. We’ve all seen a date on the behind of a doll and went “Ooh la-la, a vintage doll” … Continue reading Meet Judy Littlechap — a rare find at Goodwill! #DollCollector #DollClothesPatterns

A Judy Littlechap doll which wears a handmade swimsuit stands beside a vintage-looking sewing pattern for making a fashion doll's wardrobe. Either the doll is quite tall or the pattern is small because they are very out-of-proportion with one another. The frame is a quilt made of turquoise blue and purple fabrics. The chellywood.com logo appears alongside the photo of the doll with the sewing pattern for making doll clothes.

And then I ran across Judy Littlechap, who will … Continue reading Plan a wardrobe for Judy Littlechap with me! @ ChellyWood.com #VintageToys #DollClothesPatterns
