On Friday (May 26th, 2017) we are offering a free pattern from Margie Bowie founder of Little Miss Muffett. Be sure to vote today and then come back and get your copy of the winning pattern on Friday.
More About Margie In Her Own Words: “I have always had a love of sewing and have been fascinated with manipulating fabric since being taught by my gran at around the age of 7. In more recent years, besides general sewing, I have made and taught quilting. My love of dolls was put on hold for many years until two years ago when I happened upon Pixie Faire’s site and fell in love with all the outfits and beautiful dolls.
Living in South Africa, good quality dolls are not readily available, but a month after venturing into the doll world, my son surprised me with my beautiful AG Julie and with much encouragement from him, my late husband and awesome friends, I started designing dolls’ clothes. I have finally found my niche and am loving every minute of it.”
Vote Now (Special FYI, voting will close at 4pm Pacific on the 25th):

Thank you so much for sharing one of these lovely patterns with us! I am hoping that it is the Edwardian dress, but also love Teachers Pet and Homecoming dress. I will have to buy whatever doesn’t win the contest.

OMG! They are all gorgeous. I have been wanting to make something speicial for Molly and Samantha for springtime and smmer. There are so many special events in the summer. Lily and I would love Edwardian Fall design. The Pinafore would look great with a lot of outfits. Thanks so much for this opportunity.

Thank you so much for our free pattern this week. My vote has to be Edwardian Frock because I absolutely love period/Historical patterns so much. Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend and please pray for all our Vets and those who have given their lives so dearly for our freedoms that we take for granted in this country. AMEN

Love all these choices but since I have Time to Celebrate, I’d like the Homecoming dress or Teachers Pet.
Living in South Africa, good quality dolls are not readily available, but a month after venturing into the doll world, my son surprised me with my beautiful AG Julie and with much encouragement from him, my late husband and awesome friends, I started designing dolls’ clothes.
