Football Fever

What says fall better than football and hoodies? Hoodies are $15 solo, or add the pants for $5 more.

Days of '47!

I'm so excited for how this outfit turned out! Check out those alligator print boots!  This is a 5 piece ensemble that comes with a white shirt, vest with a sheriff star button sewn on,  a skirt with a belt and belt buckle attached, a cowboy hat, AND boots!

As a side note,  these boots remind me of my friend KayDee who wears cowboy boots all the time. All. The. Time. She wears them with shorts,  dresses,  pants,  prom dresses,  scrubs, etc.  And they look great on her. She does own a red pair.  Those are my favorite.

$20

Mermaids!

Hooray for summer!  I've been waiting for this time of year so I could post this adorable mermaid, because what screams summer more than sun and swimming?! I'm so excited with how this outfit turned out, from the sparkly scales, to the fins on the bottom of her tail, to the hibiscus flower for her hair. So. Cute. $20

Spring Prom Dresses

In honor of all the proms going on this month, I decided to make dresses that captured the frills, sparkles, and glamour of prom.  I thought I'd start with Cinderella, the standard for beautiful dresses filled with magic.
This dress comes with a matching headband and black neckband, just like the real thing.  Not to mention lots of blue fabric and bustles on the side.

$15

My next dress is one that I think every little girl would love.  It's pink, it sparkles, and it comes with a matching wrist corsage. This is actually a skirt and a top, which fit together to create the overall dress look.

$15

Easter Part 2

I know I already posted my Easter outfits, but I saw these two patterns and I couldn't help myself. Seriously, aren't they the cutest?!  I'm loving my two new American Girl dolls, as well. They were both given to me, but have very different stories that I will always treasure. Grace has the long brown hair, blue eyes, and cute freckles. Annie has the beautiful dark skin and the hair that I absolutely love.  I happen to know a little bit about frizzy curly hair myself.

OK,  back to the dresses. I wanted to sell them for $15 each, but found that since they use a bit more fabric with all the ruffles and pinafores, (and come with the headband), they will be $18 each. I still think it's a great deal.  And yes, I am still into the polka dot theme here. :)

Easter Outfits

Nothing says Spring like pastels and polka dots! And Reese's Eggs.  I stepped WAY out of my comfort zone here and decided to make little girl outfits to match the doll's. You can buy them separately or as a set. If you would like to order a little girl outfit, I will need a few measurements in order to make it fit properly. Please include the following:
1-waist measurement
2-hip measurement
3-legnth from waist to mid knee
4-shirt size. They are 4/5, 6/6X, 7/8, and 10/12.  The shirts for the little girl outfits are not homemade, but I do add the sparkly homemade flower applique. 

Doll outfits are $15.

Girl outfits are $25.

Also, a very special thanks to the crazy talented and beautiful Heather Steed for all of the graphic design that she has done for me. She really is so talented, and I love her dearly.

Coming up next month: Prom dresses! 

Beautiful model #1. I love this little girl. She calls me Miss Alinda even though I am her aunt. She has a twin brother who is just as cute as she is but refused to model a dress.

Beautiful model #2. This little girl is about as cute as 3rd graders come. She is learning to play the piano, laughs all the time, and is a great sister to her two brothers and a slice of sanity for her mom. 

Beautiful model #3 has a special place in my heart.  She is crazy beautiful, which she gets from her mom, (and her dad, but it's awkward if I say that.) She dances and tumbles and knows exactly what she likes and wants out of life. She is spunky and is a great big sister.

For those wondering, these outfits will fit the 15" Bitty Baby dolls, they do. Just make sure to let me know if you are ordering for a Bitty Baby so I can widen it just bit. 

March PJs!

I love to hang out in the evenings in my pajamas.  For real.  I get excited when I know that I can shed my clothes of the day (bra included!) and just be comfy in my PJs for the rest of the evening. (I'm owning it, people.) So for my March clothing line, I decided to offer the clothing that I love.  Pajamas!  I was just going to sew the jammies, but then I found this fun pattern for a sleeping bag as well, and holy crap!  They are SO cute!  I can't believe how seriously cute they turned out.   Take a look!

P.S.  Because Easter falls early this year (April 5th), I am hoping to have my Easter line posted the first week of March to ensure delivery by Easter.  Stay tuned!  I'm thinking a couple of cute doll dresses and possibly some matching skirts for your little girl and her favorite doll. I will also have a dress for the 15" "Bitty Baby."

These little nightgowns are made of cozy flannel with a cute ruffle at the bottom,

and a delicate pleat on the front.  The sleeping bag is made from 2 layers

of contrasting fleece, one layer of batting, zipper closure, 

and a pillow sewn right on so that it never gets lost.

Nightgowns are $10 each.  Sleeping bag is $20.

Chevron jammies and matching sleeping bag!  The pajama bottoms are made

of flannel with an elastic waistband, and the top is cozy fleece with a real pocket on the front.

  The top has a Velcro closure.  The matching sleeping bag is made from

2 layers of contrasting fleece, one layer of batting, an attached pillow, and a zipper closure.

This sleeping bag has two cute fleece hearts appliqued on the front.

Chevron jammies are $10 and the sleeping bag is $20.

Doll Clothes

About  a month ago, I was sitting in my preschool class asking each one of my kiddos what they got for Christmas. There were a few of the little girls who said that they had gotten American Girl Dolls.  They were so excited, and they loved to talk about their dolls.  I felt a twinge of nostalgia, and it got me thinking.  My sewing machine and I have always had a good relationship.  I used to sew clothes for my girls (#1 and #2) when they were little.  My "little" girls are now in college and high school.

 I started sewing doll clothes a few years ago when my youngest daughter (#3)  really wanted an American Girl Doll for Christmas. Because our funds were VERY limited that year, we couldn't afford a real American Girl Doll, but we were able to find a cute 18" doll with blonde hair and blue eyes that matched my daughter's.  Then I got busy sewing.  I had never sewn doll clothes before, but I found that I honestly enjoyed it.  There was something about creating again--taking raw material and transforming it into something beautiful.  I was hooked. Then my baby daughter grew up to the ripe old age of 11,  and her dolls remained untouched under her bed.  So I stopped sewing.

Fast forward to that day in my preschool class.  As these darling little girls lit up when they talked about their dolls, I felt that spark inside my soul to create again. And I realized that my talents were not inseparably tied to the ages and likes of my kids.  Even though my girls had outgrown the precious doll age, I could still sew for those who hadn't.

So, this is where I am today.  I am doing this because I love creating. I am doing this because I love to sew.  I am doing this because it something that I want to do, for me.  I am doing this because even at the ripe old age of 42, I still love dolls and their clothes.   I'm even thinking of buying myself a doll!  A real American Girl doll.


I am planning on coming out with a few new designs every month, but I can make any dresses from past months, as long as the fabric is still available.

                                                                 My February dresses!

The Valentine Dress. I love this one. The red overlay on the skirt has glittery red hearts all over it, and 

the heart on the bodice is a darling button I was thrilled to find.

$15

The much requested "pink dress."  This is a unique shade of pink that I searched for through

3 different fabric stores. The dress has a glittery mesh overlay on the skirt, a ribbon around the waist with a big bow on the back, and a pink chiffon flower on the waistband.

$15

I love this dark pink, shiny dress.  It has a floor length skirt, bodice with sleeves, 

and delicate black lace on the ends of the sleeves.

$15

These are my January dresses, but they are all still available.

The chevron one was the best seller, by far!  

They are all $15.

I had a few people ask about a "baptism dress," so this was the result.

It is made of silky white fabric, with a beautiful white on white organza overlay on the skirt, 

and a sparkly button right in the middle of the waistband. 

This dress is available all year long.

$20
