Countdown to Christmas!

Countdown to Christmas! As I continue this, there are 22 days left until Christmas Day. I just spent some time online looking for something for my Dad. I hear it is a good idea to get started early -----this year especially! Please take into consideration the shipping time. All items ship first class unless upgraded to another method.

I am going to try to add to this post as time permits.

What is the best seller for 2021?

#1 FLANNEL PAJAMAS

I think these have been my best seller because they zip up and have feet. They also have ribbing around the neckline and wrists.

They come in 12", 14" / preemie, 16" (for Cabbage Patch). and 15" for Bitty Baby. 



#2 POLAR FLEECE PAJAMAS

Fleece pajamas, whether with caps or not, are my number 2 seller. I am not surprised as fleece is so cozy in those winter months.








#3- Pants and T-shirts

Pants sets sell at all times of year. Christmas is no exception.


Christmas cottons still available.


#4- Flannel Pants and Sweatshirts

Now that it has gotten cold in Chicago, I understand the mix of flannel and fleece being so popular.






#5- Flannel Hooded Pajamas

These are popular because people love the hood. They cost more then the regular flannel pj's because of the time involved to make them and the extra fabric needed. I can make them to fit the preemie or the larger headed 14 inch doll.






#6 Skirt outfits

Skirts are so feminine. They can be mixed and matched with other tops and the tops can be matched with other skirts.

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...
