More About Karen In Her Own Words: I've always loved dolls. My tenth birthday present from my mother was an honest-to-goodness sewing basket filled to the brim with supplies, and a Barbie pattern. I was in heaven! I sewed throughout my high school years, and then began again when my great nieces received American Girl dolls. My teenage sons were horrified that their mother was playing with dolls. During that time I also discovered Liberty Jane patterns. Wow--stylish, detailed patterns for dolls with fantastic instructions and a beautiful fit! Before I realized what was happening I was designing my own patterns. Partnering with PixieFaire as a seller and designer has been such a fun adventure! I'm grateful to those of you who have become customers and friends along the way. This pattern is my thank you to all of you--enjoy!

More About Each Pattern
Classic Skirt Bundle Designed to Fit 18" Dolls Such as American Girl®:You can make two stylish skirts for your 18" doll with the Classic Skirt Bundle pattern from Forever 18 Inches! This pattern includes instructions for making a trendy faux button front skirt with a fitted yoke and a popular easy paper bag skirt. You can make tons of cute skirts by using a variety of different fabrics and buttons. Your doll will have the perfect skirt to wear with every cute top in her closet!
Geometry Class Dress Designed to Fit Kidz N Cats® Dolls:You don’t have to like math in order to like this pattern! The dress and jumper have been named in honor of the two geometric shapes they use: a square and a circle. The square neck has an inset panel that can be cut on the bias or straight grain, and the closely fitted bodice is attached to a full circle skirt. Two sets of cutting lines have been provided for the Dress and Jumper. As an added bonus, an easy pattern for a circular petticoat with a crunchy tulle hem is also included for an authentic blast to the past!
Infinity Dress Designed To Fit 18 Inch Journey Girls Dolls:Wrap it, tie it, change it! The amazing and versatile Infinity Dress is now available for Journey Girls dolls, with skirt choices available in a short and full length, and an option for using differing fabrics for the bodice and skirt for your own unique designer look. The dress itself is very simple: it’s formed by joining four rectangles of varying sizes together, and sews together quickly. Like the “Big People” version, the straps have an infinite series of possibilities in the way they can be tied to form different looks—hence the name of the dress. It can be worn as a sun dress, party dress, bridesmaid’s dress, or an elegant formal, depending on the fabric, length, and how it’s tied. Make your own version of this PDF pattern, and you’ll have a blast playing with the straps and all their possibilities!
Faux Button Jumper Designed To Fit Hearts For Hearts Girls and Corolle® Les Cherie Dolls:The Faux Button Jumper is a simple pattern with detailing that looks complicated--but isn't! It looks like it has a front placket, but looks can be deceiving. The placket is all show, and the jumper actually has only three main pattern pieces, plus cut strips for Straps and Optional Pockets. Option 1 is an Easy-level project for newer seamstress or those who want quick results (no closures, no lining, no facing, no worries!). Option 2 is slightly more advanced, and is finished with a lining to accommodate lighter-weight fabrics. Either option can be made with or without the optional pockets.

The skirt bundle is also a good looking pair.

Hi, I really like the Geometry Class dress. That is a pattern style I don’t have. I didn’t vote for the skirts because I can make them without a pattern. Thank you for this free pattern it is very nice to share your patterns with others. It is a plus for your website and will keep costumers coming back for more! You have really nice patterns!

I like the infinity pattern for Journey Girls. I already have lots of American Girl patterns, but only one Journey Girl pattern.
Someone asked about the differences between American Girl and Kidz N Cats. My Kidz N Cats and Carpatina dolls are much slimmer. There is a comparison chart on this website under doll measurements: https://www.pixiefaire.com/blogs/doll-tips-and-tutorials/7733479-doll-measurements

What a tough choice this week. I voted for the classic skirt bundle. The blue skirt with the stripes at a 90 degree angle down the front from the bodice is very classy. Thanks for the fun Friday voting. I look forward to it every week.

They are all so cute but I only have Maplelea dolls (18") so my choices are smaller, but it’s still tough. I like them both but I think I’ll vote for the Geometry Class Dress because it’s so different.

Hi Everyone Thank you Karen for the cute patterns this week, I loved the Geometry dress but my granddaughters don’t have that doll so I voted for the skirt bundle. Wondering if anyone can tell me the difference between AG dolls and Kids & Cats dolls? They look like the same to me in the pictures. Have a great sewing day.

Thanks, Karen and Cinnamon! I vote for the Geometry Class! It would be so nice for people who sew for other dolls than AG dolls to have a free pattern for their dolls too. So in that hope I voted for the one that was KNC size. All the patterns are gorgeous though so many thanks
