Halloween Hunting

Are you hunting for something cute for your Cabbage Patch Doll?

Coming up with Halloween costumes for my children was always one of my most enjoyable parts of the season. Now that my kids grown, I have spent the past years creating costumes for my favorite dolls. What is more fun then dressing up your dolls?

News...I have a new grandson due in 37 days! He will live 1200 miles from us. Many of you have Grandchildren who would love to receive something in the mail. Well, I created something just for your special grandchild.

Whether you are looking for a spooky or cozy Halloween, these next two will help you celebrate. They are made out of flannel. Your doll will be covered from head to toe and the hoods have the cute ears on them!

If you live in a cooler climate, like I do in Illinois, you may be wanting something to keep your doll even warmer.

I am obsessed with this darling candy corn fabric!

Tasty treat or scary potion? I created three different looks out of this fabric.

Boo! Three different looks have been created out of this cute ghost print.

I couldn't resist these coordinating prints or in adding the cat to the t-shirt of the first outfit.

Maybe black cats are your favorite at this time of year.

And because I like to appliqué and embroider, I made these for fun. I think these are more sweet than spooky.

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. Lynnette adorabledolldesigns On Etsy On Ebay On Amazon Handmade
