I’m most interested in historical fashion. Whether it’s regency, edwardian, colonial, native, 50s, 70s, 80s, it all grabs my interest. The 30s and 40s eras are fascinating in how they made the best with what little they had.

The 30’s and 40’s but I sew for the 12" and 15" dolls. You definitely need more patterns for the 12" dolls.

I would love Regency and maybe American revolution patterns for Welliwisher dolls. I began my doll clothes sewing when my niece, who was living overseas, got her daughter the AG doll Elizabeth. The doll was being retired so I was asked to make period clothing so my niece could teach American history to her children. The family also has Scandinavian ancestry so I began making Kristin’s clothes as well. I was hooked.
Now my granddaughter has a Welliewisher doll and is interested in American history. So I need patterns for her doll as well, especially period shoes, for both 14.5" and 18" dolls.

Here at Camp Runamuck the dolls wear mostly modern casual clothes. But often there are historical or dramatic activities that call for dressing up. Authentic dance and theatre costumes and folk costumes are important to them.

My Grandmother was born in 1890 , in England and came to Canada when se was 16, She was a trained seamstress and taught me all she knew, I will be eternally greatful for the knowledge she passed on to me. I can also claim to be the Granddaughter of the esteemed Elizabeth Griscomb Ross 5 generations ago. So my love for sewing comes honestly to me…I was thrilled to Find Pixie Faire on line and be able to get pattern from this company, which gave me patterns from my 5 generation Grandmothers era.. And all the other ones from then till now.
Thank you Pixie Faire.

I am most interested in historical fantasy clothing styles for my dolls. This allows me to blend pieces from a variety of historical eras, use fabrics that purists would break into rashes over, and generally suit each individual doll’s character the way I feel is best. In short, to have fun with historical fashion AND my dolls.
