I have a hard time finding doll size overall buckles. Also, it’s hard to find doll size items for period piece outfits. Would be nice if the pattern designers for Pixie Faire would include a resource list with their patterns if they have period specific trims or notions on their outfits. They must have gotten them from somewhere…right?

…Wooly Nylon thread. Home Sew used to carry it, and I’d love it if they did so again. Using it in the bobbin when you are sewing on knits, especially stretch knits, allows you to use a straight stitch without stretching the fabric under the needle (which messes with the width of your seam allowance!)
