The Abigail Dress for Spring 2021

 I recently took inventory and realized that I needed to offer some new dresses. 


As this is my favorite pattern where I mix and match cotton fabrics, I had a lot of fun doing it.


This cutie started with some blue sunflower print fabric. I added a yellow polka dot band and white bodice. The sleeves are trimmed with lace.



This little sweetheart began with a pink floral fabric and was mixed with white and turquoise floral cotton. Wide pink lace was added to the sleeves and a narrow lace to the bodice band.

Darling navy cherry print has been paired with a white and red polka dot bodice. The sleeves were trimmed with lace and a red ribbon was added to the bodice.


This lovely peachy pink floral was paired with a lime abstract print, a white and black polka dot print, and has pink lace added to the bodice band.


Pretty turquoise butterflies paired with white floral cotton and turquoise print cotton. A ruffled lace was added to the hemline and flat lace to the bodice and sleeve bands.


One of my customers needed one in a 14" size so I made a similar one for this preemie doll.
Navy tiny floral paired with turquoise and white cottons. Features tiny lace on the band and a tiny navy ribbon bow.



Fun cartoon print has been paired with bright pink ribbon and yellow cotton.


Grey floral cotton paired with purple and white prints. The narrow lace was added to the band and sleeves.

Pink print with pink polka dot and purple floral. Ribbon was added to the sleeves and lace to the waistband.

Larger floral design on a mint background with yellow polka dot waistband and ribbons on the sleeves.

Mommy and Me print with pink bodice and yellow lace.


For the future designer! Thread on ivory with beautiful ivory lace, a ribbon rose, and a bow to boot! I think she looks so angelic!


Hope you have enjoyed looking at my Abigail dress collection!

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.
