HALLOWEEN FUN!

I am always thinking ahead so that you can give your doll the privilege and excitement that comes from dressing up! This week I have been feverishly working on my Cabbage Patch Halloween Collection. Handmade Halloween Costumes are the best! As many of you are getting ready for Back-To-School, August, Adorabledolldesigns will be bringing a new 2018 Halloween Collection-----so many exciting outfits---will be listed in the next few days. Note***The closeups of the fabrics best reflect the actual color of the prints.


My first inspiration was this smiling Jack-O-Lantern fabric.


I had just enough of this darling fabric to make three outfits plus use the rest to mix and match with my other cute prints for the skirts shown later on.


Trick or Treat!


This can be worn as a cute pj or romper. The hood adds a lot of fun! I picture this little guy holding a little bag or Halloween bucket.

The back of this features a Jack-O-Lantern band across her bottom.



Smiling Jack-O-Lantern Pants Set


Celebrate the Fall Seasons with this pants outfit. The cotton knit t-shirt has a coodinating band on the dolls tummy.

The next fabric featured is the tiny Jack-O-Lantern print. I still have a little bit of this left for another project.



Tiny Jack-O-Lantern Print Pants Set


Kick off the season in these Jack-O-Lantern pants that has been matched with a raglan style polar fleece sweatshirt.

The next print featured is my lime green and black spooky black cat cotton. This is the last of this special print.




Black Cat '3 In One'
Worn with the skirt alone.

Spook-tacular outfit can be worn three ways. The pants are black cotton. The skirt features the cat fabric mixed with darling black and white polka dots. Add the blouse... and you have a THREE in one. The color is brighter then shown in the pictures on the dolls.

The last fabric featured is a black Halloween owl print cotton. I still have a little more of this to make into something special for your doll.




Owls in Masks ^^^ Dress & Headband


Bring the spirit of the season home with these fun loving owls. The dress is a wonderful mix of green, purple, orange, and owl print. Add more festive flair with the addition of the headband.



MIX AND MATCH!

A haunting mix of prints will add fun and encourage creativity.

Owl print pants. It is paired with a black raglan t-shirt.


Combination of Jack O, 2 Owl prints, Polka Dots, & Witches. It is paired with a black peasant style t-shirt.




Combine two Owls, Polka Dots, & Candy Corn and what do you get? It is paired with a black and PURPLE
t-shirt. The color is reading 'blue' to me in the photo but it is actually the rich purple above.





Can you take more fun? The skirts can be worn multiple directions for a unique look each wear.



I hope your Halloween brings you as much fun as I had making these!

A blast from the past...

Through the years I have made many Halloween costumes. 

First my daughter wore it. 3 years later, it was worn again by my son.





I am still looking for the Pocahontas and Belle Costume pictures.


I guess I get to re-live my childhood by making them for dolls and dressing them up.









I hope to have the new ones listed by Saturday.


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

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. -----------------...

Black Friday? How to save money on doll clothes

It is that time of year! Sellers like myself work all year to stock up for what they may need for the upcoming Christmas holiday season.  ♥ Sales: Watch for deals on Black Friday, Cyber Monday, November 30th, and December 7th (small business Saturday). Right now I am offering free shipping on $35 purchases on both Etsy and Amazon.  On E-bay, I have most items marked down to $11.99! Regular prices would be $13.99 and up. At this time of the year, I look at what I have sold last year, look at what I sold this week, and plan my sewing accordingly. Thinking toward sales, I look at what I sold last year, count up what I sold this year, and decide what needs to be marked down. Anything I haven't made in the past month could be marked down. I look over what I have and decide. The dilemma is whether people simply want me to lower my prices, put my regular prices on sale, offer shipping bundles, offer a coupon off of a certain amount of sales, or to offer free sh...

Create Doll Clothes with me!

Back from the end of March through the end of May, I was only ordering fabric to pick up. A few weeks ago, I ventured into the fabric store with my mom again.  I ended up going to three stores in three days and purchased these 7 darling cotton girl prints. I had so much fun shopping! What would you make out of them?   Time will tell what my brain dreams up and if I have customer special requests. So---without further ado---here they are.  Went outside in our hot Chicago weather to photo them. Some dresses I have made for the girls.
