More About Helen In Her Own Words:"When I was a child, my family didn't really need to ask what gift I wanted. There was one answer: "A doll." I grew up but I still have so much love in my heart for dolls. Both of my grannies loved sewing. I began to sew at the age of eight by hand for my baby dolls. My mother taught me to knit. When I turned fifteen I started to sew and knit clothes for myself. Designing for dolls started for me when my daughter went to school. I was looking for something to do, and my search led to discovering a whole world of dolls and doll fashion. Now I'm glad to be a part of the Pixie Faire team and engage in my favourite hobbies!"

More About Each Pattern:
Flutter Sleeve Top Designed To Fit 18" Dolls Such As American Girl®:Sew this top for your doll, and she will flutter like a butterfly! You can finish the flutter sleeve edges with a rolled hem or leave raw edge finishes as in the photo. The top can be sewn from one fabric or you can select another fabric companion for the flutter sleeves to your liking.
The romper has two parts: top and bottom. The top part is a T-shirt, while the bottom part is pants without center front and side seams. All hems and neckline are finished with ribbing bindings. All gathering seams are stabilized with clear elastic tape.
This romper pattern has 2 options: Option 1: A Romper for girls with sleeve frills and waist ruffle. This option has an applique on top front panel (step by step instruction is included). Option 2: A Romper for boys with 3 buttons on Bodice Front panel.
Pajama Top Designed to Fit 19" Gotz® Dolls: Do you like to sew? I'm sure you have tons of fabric scraps. Making this top will help reduce your supplies! For this Pajama top you'll need printed knit fabric, and different solid-colored fabrics for the bottom panel and pocket. The fabric choice will determine what you`ll sew: a pajama top or cute long-sleeve top, for a girl or boy. I chose a cute fabric for pajamas, because my favorite doll likes to hide a candy in her pocket when she goes to bed! If your doll also likes secrets, be sure to sew such pajama top for her.
Leggings Designed To Fit 19 Inch Gotz® Happy Kidz Dolls:Pairs of leggings are essential to any doll’s wardrobe, as they are so very versatile. Your doll can wear leggings under skirts, dresses and shorts or pair them with a tunic or sweatshirt. There are so many cool options you can create. Sewing will not be difficult, even if you are beginner seamstress. Step-by-step instructions help you along the way.

I picked the leggings for the Happy Kidz doll. I have one, and have to adapt patterns to fit. For dresses and tops it doesn’t matter but for tight fitting things like leggings it makes a difference. Thank you for this and the other offerings.

Although I primarily sew for 18" dolls, I like the romper. I like to personalize teddy bears and dolls for Christmas, Easter, and birthdays for the kids. This would be cute.

Thanks Helen I love all the patterns but the flutter sleeve just gets it
Linda

What a wonderful surprise. To get something so cute for free. so I vote for the romper. There are so many patterns for 18 inch dolls. Very few patterns for 13 to 15 inch dolls. The mix of fabrics make it so personal and interesting. I love your giving us a gift during this time of year.
Just in time to fill the stocking . In looking at the votes, most seem to want the romper, although I must admit the flutter is cute, but needs too much alteration to fit 15 inch doll.

Although most of my sewing is done for the 18 inch doll, I chose the bitty baby pattern for those that don’t yet sew for the 18 inch doll.
Judith
December 12, 2018
Thank you Helen for the sweet selection of dolls patterns. I am picking for the top for the 19" Gotz as I think that it would make a nice larger top for my AG dolls. I think that it is such an easy looking top to make in a hurry. Thank you again for letting us see your selections.

December 12, 2018
Thank you Helen. I also voted for the romper for Bitty Baby, but was pretty sure the vote would be useless, as (evidently) the majority of people that vote here are ONLY interested in patterns for 18" AGs. That’s my major focus as well, but the other dolls never even have a chance to get a pattern for them. Perhaps you could have a choice of all Bitty Baby patterns, or all Wellie Wisher patterns sometime.

I think the romper outfits are adorable and hope people wil vote for those. I need more patterns for my 15 dolls. Thank you for the beautiful outfits Helen!
Terry
December 12, 2018
I chose the flutter sleeve. I would love it and be highly appreciative if you would make patterns for Little Miss No Name the doll from the 60’s. She has a big following and is sold on eBay or privately. Many of us collect her but are unable to find patterns that fit her perfectly. For a beginner like me it’s difficult to alter existing patterns. Thank you!
Sonja
December 12, 2018
My vote is for the pajama top. It looks like it fits really well. I would have loved to get the pattern to the top in the leggings pattern—I’ll be looking for that! Thanks, Helen, for offering one of your great patterns!
