SUMMER DAYS!

Summertime has come early in Chicago. Last week, we had 50 degree days, and it was 90 degrees yesterday.

 Today is Memorial Day. Our weather makes me feel like summer has actually arrived and is not waiting until June 20th.

 I have been busy making summer outfits and pjs. Here is a sample of what I have. There are dresses, skirt outfits, shorts outfits, rompers, and pjs.

 For those long, hot days. This set was inspired by the idea that I wanted to make a halter top. I thought it would be fun to make an outfit that went from the hot days into cooler nights. It includes peach stripe pants, white shorts, a peach pullover blouse, and the mint halter.


Because summer mostly reminds me of sunshine, I made 7 yellow outfits. I think they will make you smile.

Shortie pjs are perfect for summer! 














Plus a ladybug.


My turquoise and green collection. Do they make you feel like lying out on the green grass looking up at the sky?







                 I designed this pattern last year.
Pink like cotton candy. Most little girls like pink. Rosy cheeks, getting a tan...






Added some corals and reds. Summertime is such a fun time to be working with all my florals.




A few purples...





The following four are from my blue bolts of fabric so I could make a lot. 

I wanted to make a crop top and paper bag shorts. The first outfit is my take on that. 


I wanted to try a tie strap with lined bodice. This was pretty time consuming but it was fun!



Going to that 'magical' place this summer?


A pop of color


My perfect 
'shopper' outfits



A few more for those of you who prefer neutrals- calm colors...







I am happy in the summer. Vacation time for me means spending time on the beach, in the ocean, and with family.  Hope your summer is wonderful!

Introducing Hope & Holden

3 Years ago, when I was dreaming about new patterns, I started realizing that I had fallen in love with doll clothes that were hooded.  My flannel Pajamas were one of my top sellers so I decided that I needed to draft a hooded pj pattern for the Bitty Baby Dolls.  My first ones had with ears but they take 50 percent longer to make so my buyers didn't want to pay that much extra for the work that was involved. There are a few of these marked down in my stores because I am not currently making Bitty Baby Clothes. I also have an Owl one for CP on Amazon that has been marked down. Without the ears ***Still cute but not as high of a price point. In March of last year, I said, "Cabbage Patch, why not?" So I drafted patterns for the 16 inch dolls.  Soon, 14 inch and preemie sizes were made. The hoods are larger on the preemie but I can specially make a smaller hood if one was wanted because I made a pattern for that too.  Last month, I realized that I
