More About Lorraine and Lovely Lilacs, (in her own words)...
I didn’t start sewing until about 7 years ago. My mom and sister could sew anything, even Barbie doll clothes, but I was afraid I would cut the pattern out wrong and waste material. My sister finally convinced me to give it a try and I was hooked! We sewed lots of pretty outfits for our niece’s American Girl dolls for Christmas. My husband and I even made 2 wooden four-poster beds for them. I have made a lot of outfits for my niece to wear which turned out great, but the first time I used a pattern for an adult I cut the pattern out wrong and wasted material! Now when I buy material I try to buy a little extra, just in case.
Easy Half Vest Dress or Shirt Designed To Fit 18 Inch Dolls Such As American Girl®: This clever design combines the look of a vest and a top or dress all in one. Let your creativity soar when creating this simple dress or shirt with attached vest and make lots of fun looks for school, parties or whatever the occasion might be!
Garden Pretty Designed To Fit 18 Inch Dolls Such As American Girl®:This gorgeous strapless dress is perfect for a tea party or a simple stroll in the garden. Make it long or short and choose to leave the bodice as is, or embellish it with a pretty button or fabric flower (directions included).
Please be sure to leave a comment and thank Lorraine! Come back on Friday and get your free copy of the pattern and if you use it - share your pictures online us using the #pixiefaire hashtag.

I liked them all, but not so much the half vest one. That did nothing for me. Sorry Lorraine@@!!!
I did like the wrap dresses the best I think, although I also like the Garden Pretty set as well.
Either one actually would do it for me.
Thank you Lorraine!! You do a beautiful job of sewing if you have only been doing it for 7 years. Awesome!!!!

I am really torn between the summer wrap and garden party dress.

We will see which one makes it on Friday, but these are such cute choices. Thank you for sharing them Lorraine.
