I love creating doll clothing with lots of flowing details. While I immensely enjoy ruffles, piping and lace, which are a part of many eras, the one time frame that I wish that there were more patterns for little girl doll clothes is from 1910 -1920. I have a little girl whom I sew for that would love more pattern options for her AG doll, Rebecca Rubin.
