Pajamas - Emma Style!


  After I purchased my Cabbage Patch 16" redheaded girl doll, it was pretty simple to figure out what I wanted to make first. I had been selling pajamas (made by me) for the 15" Bitty Baby and 18" Girl Doll on Ebay and Etsy for quite a while and wanted to design this pattern to fit my new doll.

Fits 18" Dolls    

These pjs needed to be wide enough to fit the CP's large feet and have arms easy to pull over her chubby little hands. Simplicity and ease of putting on would be my rule in this style. Zippers are super popular so those needed to be included. June was now here so they needed to be lightweight and made out of fun, summertime prints. I decided that cotton knit would be just the thing to use because it is lighter then flannel or fleece and has the stretch I wanted. The drawing and fitting began.


   I always joke that I should be a doctor because of my horrible handwriting.










       5 fabrics were then chosen.                                                                        LOVE THEM!

Zipper Installation


The necks are triple stitched down. Ribbing is sewn on with my sewing maching, serged down, and then topstitched.

 Here is the inside of the neck side by side with the finished neckline.


Seams are double stitched. They are sewn with the sewing machine and then serged with my serger. 

Finishing touch---seam sealant!


           3 days later.....we have 10 new pjs! Aren't they pretty?
               First, we will take at a look at 'Emma in Apples'. 

                  It features a white background with darling apples and daisy's in a variety of colors.

Check out this awesome, 'Emma in Roses'

It has red and pink roses on a pretty white background.


           Third, you will fall in love with the 'Emma at the Zoo'

                    This has monkey's, lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and bears all over it.



Fourth, softness is abundant in 'Emma in Stars'.

White background with stars, hearts, peace signs, and flowers.


Last but certainly not least is 'Emma loves Flowers and Hearts.'

Looks like a watercolor print!


These pjs are designed to be carefree, comfortable, and stylish!



I hope you are falling in love with Emma's new pajamas!!!

Ebay / Etsy / Amazon Handmade

I started selling on Ebay on January 31,2002. The first thing I made was an embroidered patriotic star denim jacket. I wish I still had a picture of that! I decided that if it sold, I would list two more things. it sold right away! I started I was sewing two things for every one thing that I sold. Everything was handmade by me. Snowsuits were my top seller that year. Soon, I had an e-bay store. I was busy for many years. I started slowing down when I had to start saying "18 doll clothes" instead of using the brand of the doll that I was selling for. I believe that hurt my business because when people would search by brand name, they would not find me. The difficult thing was other people selling handmade clothes were still using the brand name (and still do) while I had my listings pulled. This year, things slowed down so much that I was paying more for fees then I was selling. It is sad to say but I finally decided to shut down my store. -----------------...

Cabbage Patch Snacktime Kid Outfit- Special Order

One Saturday night, several weeks back, I received a request for a Snacktime Kid outfit. I had never heard of that particular doll so posted on the 'Cabbage Patch Kids Buy, Sell & Trade' Group. In the meantime, I googled it and found that it was a doll that had been recalled in 1997. Evidently, not everyone returned their dolls. This doll eats plastic food and goes through her into a backpack through a hole in her back. I was awake most of the night trying to figure out how to sew this. How will I make it when I don't have the doll? Do I make a slit in the back of the outfit or somehow sew an actual hole? The next day, my customer said she wanted a Robot Snowsuit. I figured this is the one she had seen on Amazon Handmade. The one I had made was for a boy doll. I found out that her little boy had her old 16" girl doll and carried it around so I think she wanted something more 'boyish'.  I pulled out the fabric to make sure I had enough. I had ...
