Possible Conflict of Interest Disclosures: Chelly Wood was commissioned by Lammily LLC to design commercial doll clothes patterns for the original Lammily doll in 2014, but this was a single contract commission with no royalties. Chelly Wood is the owner and CEO of ChellyWood LLC, and the primary contributor to its website, ChellyWood dot com, a site providing free doll clothes sewing patterns designed by Chelly Wood. ChellyWood dot com earns money on its affiliate marketing links, along with an online store where fabric, sewing supplies, handmade doll clothes, and doll-related collectibles are sold. As a regular contributor to Doll Castle magazine, Chelly is an "unpaid" volunteer contributor, but by contributing articles to this magazine, she is able to drive traffic to her website with free ads in the magazine.
