St. Patrick's Day

I have always considered myself Swedish. My Great Grandparents all immigrated from Sweden. My Dad was adopted by Swedish parents.  Being a redhead people automatically thought I was Irish. A year or so ago, my Dad had his genealogy done and it looks like I do have some Irish blood in me. I will say that I think I look good in green. So, in honor of the upcoming holiday, for the past couple of weeks, I have been committed to making Irish / Shamrock / Green / St. Patrick's Day Outfits. Most of my outfits are one of a kind.



Bitty Baby needed something new so I made this sleeveless dress with shorts. The fabric is a green background with silver shamrocks.

Brielle

The Bitty Baby Boy also needed something to celebrate in so I made him this cute pair of shamrock pjs. They are a white cotton with tiny green shamrocks all over it.

Now on to Cabbage Patch. My Cabbage Patch 16" Girl wanted a couple of choices for the upcoming parade. (You noticed I bought a red headed girl doll.)


Classic jumper embroidered with a large shamrock. The fabric is faux suede.

Molly



Riley features a hook and loop tape polar fleece jacket, extra large hood, and shamrock embroidery. The skirt is two tone with a green moire at the top and another shade of green corduroy at the bottom.

Because of so many requests for the 14" Cabbage Patch and Preemie size clothing, I made 6 sets for the girl doll. 


Tiffany is a princess so I took a green floral, made that into a skirt, added my favorite shamrock on the bodice, and added a headband.

Shannon likes to be a little more casual. A fun checkered skirt has been matched with a white blouse with a coordinating shamrock applique.

Haley wanted a little more texture so I used a fabric that has more of a 'touch' to it for the skirt to which I added the shamrock fabric made into an applique. A kelly green t shirt completes the look.

Casey wanted something for warmer weather. The shorts feature a scroll design and the blouse a polka dot fabric that has been embroidered with my tiny shamrock.

Fiona needed pants! She received bright green pants, an embroidered shamrock blouse, and a headband.

Kerry loes pastels so I made a light yellow pull over hooded polar fleece sweatshirt with a large shamrock embroidery. The skirt is a mint green faux suede and opens in the back with hook and loop tape. 

Kerry


Now the boys need something. I made this set to fit both your 14", 14" preemie, and 16" kids doll. They feature lime green polar fleece pants and white embroidered sweatshirts.

This next one both boys and girls may like. The pants are a cozy and fluffy sweater type fabric. I am not sure what type of fabric it is because my mom thought it was fun and bought it for me. The sweatshirt is fleece, is embroidered with a large shamrock, and is two tone.

Casey


Sean wanted something with a hat so I made him dark green checkered pants, an off white polar fleece sweatshirt and that hat. This one has a more intricate shamrock embroidery. I had to try a new embroidery out this season.

Irish Blessing:
May your troubles be less and your blessings be more
And nothing but happiness come through your door!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

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.
