Hi everyone,
On Friday (September 9, 2016) we're offering a free doll clothes pattern from Angela McCormick of MyAngieGirl as a special one-day only event rather than having the "normal" Freebie Friday voting. We'd love to have you help us spread the word and be sure to get your copy!
More About Angela, (in her own words).
As a mother to four adorable girls, I have always loved sewing little girly things for them. When they started growing out of ruffles and bows, I started sewing miniature versions of my favorite things. In searching for a way to fund my hobby, I found that designing patterns for dolls was almost as much fun as sewing for them. My (real)girls play an active role in my designs, sharing ideas and opinions, and providing artwork for parts of the patterns. My husband patiently tolerates the fabric stashes around the house, the dolls all over the dining room table, and the threads on the bottom of his socks! It has been so much fun to partner with the Pixie Faire team for the past year and a half. Thank you for continuing to shop through our patterns. I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed creating them!
Take A Closer Look:
Storybook Collection Toppers Pointy Hats and Princess Crowns: History is full of pointy hats. From the towering hennins favored by medieval noblewomen to the iconic witch’s hat made famous by the Wicked Witch of the West, this cone-shaped topper is a millinery must have. When we think of dressing up in costumes, images of pointy hats abound, and nothing says “fairy tale princess” like a pointy cone-shaped hat with a veil attached.
The Pointy Hats pattern is simple to make. Sewing directions are given for the witch hat and the hennin, but both could be similarly made without sewing and using glue instead. Your hat can be made from felt and accessorized with decorative trim, ribbon, tulle, etc. For felt that is less stiff, you may want to add iron-on interfacing.
Please be sure to leave a comment and thank Angela!

Thanks for the pattern. My 16 year old daughter who no longer likes dolls , said I like that one. I had made the witch in like green and black. All my American girls are on my exposed front porch in costume. And believe it or not. I never had one stolen
