    I have dolls from all eras and materials. I like to sew clothes from all eras because each time has its own special details. I prefer to sew for larger dolls but have some period patterns for fashion dolls which I haven’t had a chance to make yet. They’re all fun.

    My favorite we is the 40’s. Love the beautiful dresses and hats. It was a very classy time when it came to style. My mom always played the 40’s music and wore many of the same styles she remembered from her youth. Maybe that is why I make so many of those styles for my granddaughters dolls. More 50’s patterns please.

    I am not stuck on any particular era of clothing designs. I have found several from all of them, but no favorite. I do like the clothing from Gone With The Wind. I loved the clothing and the movie. I loved the Poodle Skirt when I was a kid. It was made from a felt fabric, with shapes of poodles on them. They also made one with Elvis on it. I loved that one. I believe it was in the late 1950’s. I was a young girl then, but my parents got my two sisters and myself a skirt for Christmas. We all fell in love with it. I love the looks of the doll too. Her hair is beautiful!!.

    My favorite clothing era is around the 1920s when my mother was AG age. I have a photo of her as a seven or eight year old in a dress like Rebecca would wear. These take a lot more fabric than what AG is cranking out right now so patterns with the drop waist are very nice to have. They are also less difficult to sew since they are not so tight fitting and sleeves are larger with more fabric in them. I did buy a dress like hers from an Ebay sewer and Rebecca is a good likeness for my mother as a child also though Mom looks more like another brand of 18 inch doll.

    I live in a rural community so many of my outfits are farming and Western look. I seem to find every pattern I need on your website but perhaps jeans with a front placket rather than the elastic waist although I make lots of the elastic waist and the kids seem to like it fine. I also love the Nativity set pattern, so perhaps other group patterns like that so the dolls can act out a pageant or play.
