Hi everyone,
On Friday (June 3rd) we are going to do a special Double Freebie Friday! Be sure to spread the word!
First, we are offering a new permanently free knitting pattern (The Suzy Slippers) from Jen Reeves the artist behind A Little Knitty.
Second, we are going to have you vote to help us decide which pattern from Meg at Miche Designs should be free as well. This will be a one-day-only Friday Freebie.
More About Jen Reeves & A Little Knitty (in her own words),
Hi! I’m Jen, and you could say I’m A Little Knitty! I started knitting when I was 12, although it didn’t really become an obsession until I was 28. When my son was born in 2008, I created some knit hats for him and things just took off from there!
I currently teach knitting classes for Auburn, WA Parks & Rec, opened a small yarn shop inside the Liberty Jane on Main store, and publish my doll knitting patterns through PixieFaire. When I’m not knitting (which is rare) I am out playing with my family. I have been married to Brian for 12 years and we have an 8 year old son, Nolan, and 5 year old daughter, Piper. During the summer we are continually camping and we love to discover new places together!
More About Miche Designs: Artist Meg Paul started collecting American Girl dolls when she was eleven after receiving her first doll as a gift from her Grandma. Meg taught herself to sew using Liberty Jane patterns and has always loved to work in miniature. She is passionate about designing beautiful shoe patterns for doll enthusiasts.

I love Freeby Friday, but it is disappointing when there is no sewing patterns…
I do not make shoes & I do not knit. Oh well, maybe next week. (=
Thanks anyway!
Will take them All!!! Too cute
Love the clogs. You are amazing offering a free pattern each week.
Thank you so much, Jen and Meg, and of course Cinnamon for getting us all together! The generosity of you all is greatly appreciated.
I voted for the ChicSandals.
All adorable! I went with the clogs, but any pair would be wonderful! Thanks for the knit slippers! Looks like I’ll have to learn to knit! I know how to crochet.
Chic Sandals! Thanks so much for Freebie Friday!!
I love Mitch designs so I love the No Sew Mayli sandles as I do not have that pattern! However you decide all of his patterns are wonderful. I love the little knitted slippers as they are a wonderful project for beginning knitters. Thank you for sharing.
WOW! Such a hard decision. This is the first time that I really don’t care which pattern wins – love them all. Thank you so much
Oh my goodness! I love them all. I have never made shoes before so I am anxious to try. Thank you so much for all the free patterns that you give us.
So hard to decide – I love them all!!
je vote pour les sandales chics, merci
I think the Strappy Sandals are the prettiest, and the others are more useful.
Thank you Jen and Meg! You are the greatest!
i love all of the shoes for my dolls. My favorite, however, are the strappy sandals. They are so cute.
j’aime bien les chic sandals facile a réaliser j’espère
mais moderne
amicalement paulette
This is a very hard decision.The Strappy SandalsI think, but any one wiill do. Thank you very much.
Thanks so much. All are cute
Thanks to Jen for her cute slipper pattern. It’s going to be my next knitting project. Now for the shoes – what a choice. I guess I will finally go for the chic sandals this week, although it’s still a toss-up. All the of designs are all so delightful and I thank you for your generosity, Meg.
Decisions Decisions! Even though I dont knit – I want to thank you for the new freebie, very nice!
As for the four to choose from – WOW! i Finally voted for the strappy black shoes . I will be equally ecstatic with any of the four though!Thank you Thank you!
It is so sweet of you to share these patterns. I voted for the clogs, but any of them will be fine as I don’t have them.
Thanks to both designers!! My vote goes to the strappy sandals…love them all but the strappy sandals are my favorite!
Chic sandals are my favorite, but would be happy with any of them. Thank you
WOW! Thank you for the very cute slippers pattern. I definitely want to make some of those! Thanks for your generosity in providing the free pattern.
I would definitely say that Meg from Miche Designs has found her niche in the 18 inch doll world. All of the patterns would be wonderful to own. I finally settled on the Chic Sandals but it will be a win-win situation no matter what shoe pattern wins. Thank you Meg for sharing with us!!
They are all cute! I have the clog pattern and it’s GREAT so I’m voting for the No-Sew Malai pattern. You can make them dressy or sporty. Thanks so much for offering a new shoe pattern!
Thank you for giving us these free patterns. It is always a hard choice each Wed. The designers have such wonderful minds to keep creating the wonderful patterns. Once again a BIG THANK YOU.
I vote for the Chic Sandals. All are lovely and thank you so much for whatever wins! Freebie Fridays are such a treat! Thank you so much for your most generous offerings!
Fantastic choices again. Wow, thank you so much.
Fantastic choices again. Wow, thank you so much.
Thanks so much for the patterns. It is so kind of the designers to share their patterns. I really enjoy them. I really like the chic sandals. Its so much fun to make shoes to match the clothes.
I voted for the No Sew M. Sandals. Thanks so much for the free patterns.
Thank you so much for Freebie Friday!! It brings out the young girl in each of us! We always
receive such wonderful surprises! Am so happy that my grandmother and mother taught me to sew, crochet, knit…..!!!!
The strappy sandals are adorable! Can’t wait to see which pattern wins:)
Wow another hard one to pick.
Chic sandals it is for me, but love them all. The knit slippers are terrific, I have a pair that were made from a modified baby pattern. Nice to have a proper pattern available. Thank you so mch.
It will be a double treat, no matter what. I voted for the clogs since they have a real 70’s vibe. But they are all fantastic. Thanks in advance.
Debated between the Strappy Sandals and the Chic Sandals…and finally decided on the Strappy Sandals, but maybe I should have gone with the Chic Sandals. Oh, they’re all so cute. Thank you all for your generous freebie patterns. I love these tough decisions.
Thank you to both of these designers for their generous offers! SO hard to decide on the shoes—like all of them! I finally decided on the Strappy Sandals because I think you could use the pattern for not only the dressier strap style, but also make a slide shoe by leaving off the back and ankle strap, adding an elastic if need be to keep them on. I’ll be happy with any of them and the slippers shouldn’t be too difficult for this barely able to knit lady. Thanks again!
Ahhhh, you make it so difficult to choose. My mom and I both love the strappy sandels, but any pattern we will be excited about, Thank-you so much Meg and Jen you pattern(s) are so adorable. My mom loves to knit. Thank-you Pixie Faire we are so blessed to enjoy sewing, knitting and crocheting all the beautiful patterns you put out there and for Freebie Friday.
Thank you both for the free offerings this week. Any of the Miche patterns will be awesome.
I LOVE to make shoes and boots. These patterns are great. I have a couple of sandal patterns so I’m voting for the clogs. Cute, cute, cute. Many thanks for offering these freebies!
So hard to choose. But I will go with the chic sandals. Thank You.
Thank you both Jen and Meg!
I am so excited to see Miche Designs shoes this week! I’ve been eyeing these for awhile and admire the imagination and talent that went into her designs. Thank you Meg! Also I’m looking forward to trying the knit slippers, (might need a little help) but, as with many of the patterns, I like learning a new skill. Thanks Jen!
All of the shoes are wonderful, but I think the clogs are my favorite. The knitting pattern will be fun too.
Thanks for the shoe patterns. They complete the outfits that I have sewn. The slippers will be especially cute with the PJ’s I have made.
Wow…another hard choice to make. They are all so cute it’s really difficult to choose! The knit slippers are adorable too and I have been looking for a pattern just like that! A big thank you to both designers and to Pixie Faire!
I LOVE Miche Designs shoes! What a special treat! I purchased the no sew Mayli Snadals pattern but have never been able to find the required products to make them up. I vote for the Chic Sandals as they will be great summer staples and they don’t require any super specialty art supplies to make them! Thank you for the chance to win any pattern and I will be downloading the knit slippers as well as they are different than the pixie slippers I have made before, and everyone needs more than 1 pair of slippers! ?
You make it so difficult!! How can I choose, they are all so cute! Thank you for both of the patterns. I love knitting and these little slippers will be so quick to make. Now, back to the shoes……I guess my vote will be the chic sandals for this week. Thank you so much, your generosity is so appreciated.
Thanks you both. I never learned to knit but love seeing the creative items made for the dolls using this method. I am sure the knitters in our midst would live these cozy slippers. I consider Meg to be one of the top dolly footwear designers and each creation is awesome. Not sure which to vote for yet but thanks in advance as I would happy add anyone to my collection.
Thank you for the generous offer both of you gave!
The sandals are so cute that I really cannot decide for which one to cast a vote, any one of them would be great. The clogs are also neat but look beyond my skill level. Thank you Meg for such wonderful shoe patterns. Thank you also to Jen for the cute knit slippers, I’m not a good knitter but will brush up on my skills for these.
Love them all! Hard to choose.Strappy’s. Thanks for knit slippers ,too.
This week has got to be the hardest decision yet! I voted for the clogs, but would be very happy with any one of these gorgeous patterns. Thank you Jen and Meg for your generosity.
Oh I love those cute slippers! Thank you Jen. I have voted for the strappy sandals but they’re all lovely. Thank you Meg – and Pixiefaire
Thank you Meg for the free sandal pattern.. I voted for the no-sew ones.
Also, thank you Jen for the slipper pattern.
All of the shoe patterns are cute! It was hard to choose a favorite. Thank you Miche Designs and Pixiefaire. Also, glad to receive the free knit slipper pattern. I will have to dust off my knitting skills. Thanks Jen Reeves & Pixiefaire.
Sheesh! These are all so cute it’s almost impossible to choose. I finally voted for the No Sew Mayli sandles. Thanks so much, Jen & Meg for your generosity!
Thanks for sharing these patterns with us. Another hard decision. As I am just trying my hand at making some. Thank you
